Fusion 360 MCP Server, developed by AuraFriday, is a free, open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server skill built with Python. It connects directly to Autodesk Fusion 360, enabling AI coding assistants to control and automate design tasks. Designed for the mcp platform, this tool integrates into AI client environments like Claude Code, providing powerful capabilities for AI agents to interact with CAD software. Its primary distribution method involves cloning a GitHub repository and adding it to a Claude Code skills directory, making it accessible for AI-driven automation.

What does Fusion 360 MCP Server connect to?

Fusion 360 MCP Server establishes a direct connection to Autodesk Fusion 360. It functions as an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server skill, specifically designed for integration with AI coding assistants. This server links with various MCP-enabled AI clients, including Claude Code, Codex CLI, and ChatGPT. The setup involves an add-in connecting to a local MCP-Link server, facilitating communication between AI agents and the Fusion 360 application for advanced automation and control.

Core features and tools

The server exposes a generic capability to execute arbitrary Python code directly within Fusion 360. This includes full access to the entire Fusion API (adsk.core, adsk.fusion, adsk.cam), all loaded add-ins, SQLite databases, and browser automation. It also supports user popups, integration with over 500 AI models via OpenRouter, local AI models, and desktop automation. An example operation is fusion360.execute with an "execute_python" command, allowing extensive control over the CAD environment.

Who is it for?

Fusion 360 MCP Server is for users of AI coding assistants and AI agents who aim to control and automate tasks within Fusion 360. This includes those interested in AI-driven scripting, data storage, and displaying user popups within the CAD environment. It also serves individuals seeking AI-assisted design generation and modification of CAD parts from natural language prompts. Skip this if you do not use AI coding assistants or AI agents for CAD automation.
