APS

Download the APS MCP Server source code. The project is not published to PyPI, so you run it directly from source.

git clone https://github.com/kpphillips/aps-mcp-server.git
cd aps-mcp-server

Copy the sample env file and fill in your Autodesk APS credentials. The exact variable names are defined in .env.sample in the repository.

cp .env.sample .env
# Edit .env and add your Autodesk APS Client ID, Client Secret, and account credentials

Create a virtual environment and install the required Python packages using uv.

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Add the server to Claude Desktop's config file at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json. Use absolute paths to both the Python executable in your venv and the server script.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aps": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/aps-mcp-server/.venv/bin/python3",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/aps-mcp-server/aps_dm_server.py"],
      "env": {
        "PYTHONPATH": "/absolute/path/to/aps-mcp-server"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop to load the server. Ask Claude to list your Autodesk hubs — if the credentials are valid and the server is running, it will return your accessible hubs.
