Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360) MCP servers and AI agent skills

How AI connects to Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360)

An MCP server or skill can only do what Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360) lets programs do. Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360) exposes 2 automation interfaces:

• Fusion API (Python scripts and add-ins) (Python): Fusion's API is documented in a User's Manual, a Reference Manual and code samples. The community servers here are Fusion add-ins written in Python that you load from the Scripts and Add-Ins dialog (Shift+S); they run API calls on Fusion's main thread through a custom event queue, and some also let the agent run arbitrary Python inside the session. Fusion designs live in Autodesk hubs and projects, so check your firm's data rules before connecting any AI client. Documentation
• Fusion Automation API (TypeScript, cloud) (REST API): Autodesk's Fusion Compute MCP server runs headless Fusion sessions in the cloud through the Fusion Automation API. By default the agent writes TypeScript against the Fusion API and runs it with MCP.ExecuteTypeScript; a CRUD mode swaps that for hand-written native tools. The server also searches a TypeScript sample catalogue without starting a session. Documentation

What Autodesk offers

Autodesk publishes three Fusion MCP servers of its own. The Autodesk Fusion MCP Server ships inside Fusion desktop (Preferences > General > API) and is in Claude Desktop's connector directory; the Fusion Data MCP Server is a hosted service for Manufacturing Data Model data; the Fusion Compute MCP Server is a public beta for cloud modelling and CAM. Fusion also has a built-in AI Assistant, and Autodesk's separate Product Help MCP server covers Fusion documentation.

What you can do with Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360) and AI

• Ask Claude Desktop to create or change geometry in the design you have open, such as "create a 10 mm cube" or adding fillets, through Autodesk's local desktop server.
• List hubs, projects, folders and items in Fusion Team, or read a bill of materials, without opening Fusion (Fusion Data MCP).
• Start a headless cloud session to model a part, set up CAM operations such as soft-jaw fixturing and milling, and save the result to Fusion Team (Fusion Compute MCP, beta).
• Call any Fusion API member or run a Python snippet in the live session through a community add-in, then capture the viewport to check the result.
• Export the current design as STEP or STL for printing or for another CAD system.

Installing

The listings here document setup for ChatGPT, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, OpenCode, VS Code and VS Code (GitHub Copilot). Install steps, copied from each project's own documentation, are on each listing's page. Most Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360) integrations run on your own computer next to Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360), so you need Autodesk Fusion (Fusion 360) installed and licensed on the same machine unless the listing says otherwise.
