### Description (declared)

# 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 …
