# maya-mcp-server MCP server for interacting with Autodesk Maya sessions. ## Features - **Multi-session support**: Manage multiple Maya sessions from a single MCP server. The server scans for new Maya sessions that have been started and shutdown by the user. - **Full Python expressiveness**: Execute arbitrary Python code. Agents can create virtual python modules to expose functions for execution, including by the user. - **Streaming output**: Capture stdout/stderr from Maya sessions via MCP resources. Agents can monitor output from their code or user activity. - **Zero Maya-side setup**: Leverages Maya's default command port - **Easy installation**: Install and run via `uvx maya-mcp-server`  ## Installation ```bash # Using uvx (recommended) uvx maya-mcp-server # Or install with pip pip install maya-mcp-server ``` ## Usage ### Claude Code Configuration Add to your Claude Code MCP configuration, run: ```commandline claude mcp add --transport stdio maya -- uvx maya-mcp-server ``` The default scope is "local", which adds it to your `~/.claude.json` keyed to a particular project directory. Setting `--scope=user` adds to `~/.claude.json` across all projects, and `--scope=project` to add the configuration into a `.mcp.json` in the current project directory, so that it can be commited to your repo. For local development use: ```commandline claude mcp add --transport stdio maya -- uv run --directory /path/to/maya-mcp-server/ maya-mcp-server ``` ### Maya Setup The server automatically discovers Maya sessions via command ports. To enable a Python command port in Maya: ```python import maya.cmds as cmds cmds.commandPort(name=":7002", sourceType="python") ``` Or add to your `userSetup.py` for automatic startup. ## Tools Tools accept an optional `session_key` parameter for targeting specific sessions. If only one Maya session exists, it will be auto-selected. Session keys are returned by `list_sessions` and …
