Overview

This is a mature, production-ready MCP server that connects Autodesk Fusion 360 with AI systems through an MCP-Link server. It provides three primary methods for AI interaction: generic API calls for simple operations, Python execution for complex workflows, and MCP tool integration for cross-application functionality. The server features thread-safe architecture, centralized logging, auto-updates, and rich documentation with three complementary sources. Recent additions include Python execution with full Fusion API access and enhanced documentation systems.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 6 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:AI creating parametric designs and mechanical parts in Fusion 360
you:Automating complex CAD workflows combining Fusion databases, browser automation, and AI models
you:Accessing and utilizing custom Fusion add-ins through AI agents
you:What is MCP-Link?
you:Can I use this with Claude Desktop?
you:What authentication is required?

When to choose this

Choose this when you need AI to control CAD design processes in Fusion 360 with full API access, especially for parametric modeling and mechanical design workflows.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose this if you're not using Autodesk Fusion 360, as it's specifically designed for this CAD platform and requires it to function.

Official link: https://apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=7269770001970905100

Manual Installation (Optional)

  1. Clone the repository:

``bash git clone https://github.com/AuraFriday/Fusion-360-MCP-Server.git ``

  1. Load as Fusion Add-In:

- Open Fusion - Press Shift+S to open Scripts and Add-Ins - Click the **Add-Ins** tab - Click the green **+** button next to "My Add-Ins" - Navigate to the cloned repository folder - Select the folder and click **OK** - Click **Run** to start the add-in

The add-in auto-connects to the MCP server on startup. Check the **TEXT COMMANDS** window in Fusion to see connection logs.

FAQ

What is MCP-Link?
MCP-Link is the middleware server that bridges the Fusion 360 add-in with AI systems, handling communication between the MCP protocol and Fusion's API.
Can I use this with Claude Desktop?
Yes, you can configure Claude Desktop to connect to the MCP-Link server which in turn connects to Fusion 360 through this MCP server.
What authentication is required?
No authentication is needed for the Fusion add-in itself, but the MCP-Link server may require configuration depending on your AI platform setup.
