How to Set Up and Use Fusion 360
The Fusion 360 Claude Ultimate MCP Server connects Claude Desktop directly to Autodesk Fusion 360, enabling natural language control of 3D CAD modeling through over 84 tools. Users can create primitive shapes, perform boolean operations, add fillets and chamfers, run loft and sweep operations, manage materials, export to STL/STEP/F3D, and query mass properties — all by describing what they want in plain French or English. This project is a French-localized adaptation of Kanbara Tomonori's original concept, built with a Node.js MCP bridge and a Fusion 360 Python add-in communicating over a shared directory.
Prerequisites
- Autodesk Fusion 360 installed and licensed on your computer
- Node.js 18 or higher for the MCP bridge server
- Claude Desktop installed and configured
- Git to clone the repository (no npm package available — manual install required)
Clone the repository
Clone the fusion360-claude-ultimate repository to your local machine. The server requires both a Node.js bridge and a Fusion 360 add-in.
git clone https://github.com/Misterbra/fusion360-claude-ultimate.git
cd fusion360-claude-ultimate/server
npm installInstall the Fusion 360 add-in
Copy the fusion_script directory to your Fusion 360 add-ins folder. On macOS this is ~/Library/Application Support/Autodesk/Autodesk Fusion 360/API/AddIns/.
# macOS
cp -r fusion_script/fusion_mcp_server ~/Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360/API/AddIns/
# Windows (PowerShell)
Copy-Item -Recurse fusion_script\fusion_mcp_server "$env:APPDATA\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\API\AddIns\"Enable the add-in in Fusion 360
Open Fusion 360, go to Tools > Add-Ins > Scripts and Add-Ins, find fusion_mcp_server in the add-ins list, and click Run. Enable 'Run on Startup' to auto-start it.
Configure Claude Desktop
Add the fusion_mcp server to your Claude Desktop configuration, pointing to the server.mjs file in the cloned repository.
Restart Claude Desktop and open Fusion 360
Both Claude Desktop and Fusion 360 must be running simultaneously for the integration to work. The Node.js bridge communicates with Fusion 360 via a shared mcp_comm directory.
Fusion 360 Examples
Client configuration
Add the Fusion 360 MCP bridge to claude_desktop_config.json, replacing YOUR_PATH with the absolute path to your cloned repository.

}Prompts to try
Use these prompts to create and modify 3D models in Fusion 360 through Claude. The server supports over 84 tools covering creation, editing, and export.
- "Create a cube with 50mm sides"
- "Add a cylinder with 20mm radius and 80mm height at the origin"
- "Add a 3mm fillet to edges 0 and 1 of 'Box1'"
- "Export the current design as an STL file for 3D printing"
- "What are the mass properties of 'Body1'?"
- "Move 'Cube1' 20mm along the X axis"
- "Create a rectangular pattern of 'Hole1' with 4 columns spaced 15mm apart"Troubleshooting Fusion 360
Claude sends commands but Fusion 360 does not respond
Both Fusion 360 must be running with the fusion_mcp_server add-in active, and Claude Desktop must be running with the MCP server configured. Check that the add-in shows as running in Fusion 360's Scripts and Add-Ins dialog. Verify the mcp_comm directory exists and is writable.
Node.js server fails to start with module not found errors
Run 'npm install' in the fusion360-claude-ultimate/server directory to install all dependencies. Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed. Check the absolute path in your claude_desktop_config.json points to server.mjs.
Add-in does not appear in Fusion 360's add-in list
Verify the fusion_mcp_server folder was copied to the correct AddIns directory for your OS. The folder must contain a valid .manifest file. Restart Fusion 360 after copying the add-in files.
