What is the MCP Server?

The MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server that bridges AI models with external data sources and tools, particularly for design automation in Fusion 360.

How does the MCP Server integrate with Fusion 360?

The MCP Server exposes Fusion 360 toolbar-level commands as callable tools, allowing natural language prompts to be resolved into Fusion tool actions and executed as Python scripts.

Can I customize the tools available in the MCP Server?

Yes, the MCP Server allows for the addition of new tools and customization of existing ones, providing flexibility to meet specific design needs.

What are the prerequisites for using the MCP Server?

You need Python 3.9 or higher and Autodesk Fusion 360 installed to use the MCP Server.
