Use them to search available tools, inspect their descriptions, call them through the command line, list running instances, and manage CLI updates.
Why use it?
They provide the commands and navigation needed to find and call 3ds Max tools correctly.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions AGENTS.md.

This is dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-3dsmax's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on dcc-mcp-3dsmax itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything dcc-mcp-3dsmax configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dcc-mcp-3dsmax AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — dcc-mcp-3dsmax Agent Navigation Map

Progressive disclosure: this file is a map, not an encyclopedia. Follow the links for depth. Stay here for breadth.

Agent Control Path

AI agent runtimes default to the shared gateway through the dcc-mcp skill and dcc-mcp-cli REST commands:

dcc-mcp-cli search --query "<task>" --dcc-type 3dsmax
dcc-mcp-cli describe <tool-slug>
dcc-mcp-cli call <tool-slug> --json '{"key":"value"}'

Use dcc-mcp-cli list for live instances and dcc-mcp-cli dcc-types for release-catalog support. IDE users may continue to configure the gateway MCP endpoint; adapter-local Python start APIs are for host bootstrap and tests.

CLI availability and updates

If dcc-mcp-cli is missing, obtain user consent before using the official install commands in the README Agent workflow. Keep an official build current with:

dcc-mcp-cli update check
dcc-mcp-cli update apply

update apply stages the latest CLI for the next launch; it does not replace a running server.


30-Second Summary

dcc-mcp-3dsmax embeds a standards-compliant MCP Streamable HTTP server directly inside Autodesk 3ds Max. It exposes ~130 3ds Max operations as MCP tools that any AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Gemini, etc.) can call over HTTP.

Current version: 0.2.3 Core dependency: dcc-mcp-core>=0.20.0,<1.0.0 Python: 3.7+ 3ds Max: 2017+ (with pymxs)


Quick Start (3 Lines)

import dcc_mcp_3dsmax
server = dcc_mcp_3dsmax.start_server()
# MCP client connects to http://127.0.0.1:9765/mcp

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
