Maya-specific implementation of Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Autodesk Maya, enabling remote control and integration with MCP ecosystem.
This repository also configures its own agents. See what dcc-mcp-maya tells them →
Skill Claude Code
Pipeline stage — render globals, final-frame rendering, and viewport capture: configure render settings, query them, render frames, capture playblasts. Use for producing final or preview imagery. Not for modeling (maya-mesh-ops), animation editing (maya-animation), generic file import/export (maya-geometry), or render…
Skill Claude Code
Authoring stage — character / prop rigging: joints, IK, skin clusters, deformers, blend shapes, control curves, skin weights, constraints, and optional rig framework detection. Use when constructing rigs. Not for keyframe animation (maya-animation), pose libraries (maya-pose-library), or final scene assembly…
Skill Claude Code
Scene stage — Maya Scene Assembly workflow: Assembly Definitions, Assembly References, and LOD representation switching. Use for assembling large environments from cached / GPU / scene representations. Not for raw geometry import or referencing — use maya-geometry or executepython with cmds.file(reference=True)…
Skill Claude Code
Scene stage — scene file lifecycle and DAG navigation. Use for new / open / save scenes, hierarchy queries, selection management, and top-level organisation. Not for mesh editing or interchange (FBX/OBJ): use maya-mesh-ops or maya-geometry instead.
Skill Claude Code
Bootstrap stage — escape hatch for Maya work that has no packaged skill yet. Agents should prefer searchskills / dcccapabilitymanifest → loadskill → typed tools (inputSchema + annotations) from domain skills; use executepython or executemel only when no skill matches, for bulk in-process loops, or for API…
Skill Claude Code
Pipeline stage — shot-level export: frame ranges, cameras, FBX / Alembic packaging for editorial. Use when packaging shot data for downstream departments. Not for full pipeline publish (maya-pipeline) or scene assembly (maya-scene-assembly).
Skill Claude Code
Authoring stage — bake lighting, AO, normals, and custom maps from high-resolution sources to texture files. Use when generating static texture maps for game / render assets. Not for material assignment (maya-materials) or UV layout (maya-uv-ops).
Skill Claude Code
Authoring stage — UV operations: create, delete, project, unfold, layout, and normalise UV sets. Use whenever working on texture coordinates. Not for mesh modeling (maya-mesh-ops), material authoring (maya-materials), or texture baking (maya-texture-bake).
