How to Set Up and Use Autodesk Fusion 360
Autodesk Fusion 360 MCP Server connects AI assistants directly to Autodesk Fusion 360's modeling environment via a custom add-in, enabling natural language control of 3D CAD operations. The server exposes tools for sketching (circles, lines, arcs, splines), solid modeling (extrude, revolve, sweep, loft), modifications (fillets, shell, patterns), parameter management, and export to STEP and STL formats. Because Fusion 360's API is not thread-safe, the server uses a task-queue architecture to safely execute all operations on Fusion's main UI thread.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.10 or higher installed
- Autodesk Fusion 360 installed on Windows or macOS
- Claude Desktop or VS Code with MCP support
- uv package manager for running the MCP server (recommended)
- Git for cloning the repository
Clone the repository
Clone the Autodesk-Fusion-360-MCP-Server repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/JustusBraitinger/Autodesk-Fusion-360-MCP-Server.git
cd Autodesk-Fusion-360-MCP-ServerSet up the Python environment and install dependencies
Create a virtual environment inside the Server directory and install the required Python packages including the MCP CLI.
cd Server
python -m venv venv
# Windows PowerShell:
.\venv\Scripts\Activate
# macOS/Linux:
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install "mcp[cli]"Install the Fusion 360 add-in
Run the provided installer script from the project root to copy the add-in into Fusion 360's add-ins directory.
cd ..
python Install_Addin.pyEnable the add-in in Fusion 360
Open Autodesk Fusion 360, go to Tools → Add-Ins → Scripts and Add-Ins, find the installed add-in, and click Run. Leave Fusion 360 open during use.
Install and configure the MCP server for Claude Desktop
From the Server directory, use the MCP CLI to install the server so Claude Desktop can discover it.
cd Server
uv run mcp install MCP_Server.pyRestart Claude Desktop
Fully quit and reopen Claude Desktop so it loads the newly installed Fusion 360 MCP server.

- "Draw a rectangle sketch 100mm by 60mm on the XY plane"
- "Extrude the last sketch by 20mm"
- "Add a 2mm fillet to all edges of the body"

Operations are queued but never execute in Fusion 360
The Fusion 360 add-in must be actively running. Go to Tools → Add-Ins → Scripts and Add-Ins in Fusion 360 and confirm the add-in shows as running. Click Run if it is stopped.
MCP server cannot connect to Fusion 360
Ensure Fusion 360 is open and the add-in is active before sending commands. The add-in exposes a local HTTP endpoint at 127.0.0.1:8000 that the MCP server connects to.
Install_Addin.py fails with a path error
Run the script from the repository root (not from inside the Server directory). Fusion 360 must be installed in its default location; if it is in a custom path, edit the script's destination path before running.
