Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autodesk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@autodesk/dev-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y @autodesk/dev-mcp

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Details

From the project README

Autodesk Platform Services MCP Server

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that interacts with Autodesk Platform Services (APS) documentation. This protocol supports various tools to interact with different Autodesk APIs, with a focus on the Model Derivative API.

Setup

To run the Autodesk MCP server using npx, use the following command:

npx -y @autodesk/dev-mcp@latest

Usage with Cursor or Claude Desktop

Add the following configuration. For more information, read the Cursor MCP documentation or the Claude Desktop MCP guide.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autodesk-dev-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@autodesk/dev-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

On Windows, you might need to use this alternative configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autodesk-dev-mcp": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/k", "npx", "-y", "@autodesk/dev-mcp@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Available tools

This MCP server provides the following tools:

Tool NameDescription
search_aps_docsSearch Autodesk Platform Services documentation
introspect_model_derivativeAccess and search Model Derivative API information

Available prompts

This MCP server provides the following prompts:

Prompt NameDescription
autodesk_model_derivativeHelp with Autodesk Model Derivative API tasks
autodesk_api_workflowGuide for implementing Autodesk Platform Services workflows

Development

The server is built using the MCP SDK and communicates with Autodesk Platform Services information.

  1. npm install
  2. Modify source files
  3. Run npm run build to compile
  4. Run npm run test to run tests
  5. Add an MCP server that runs this command: node <absolute_path_of_project>/dist/index.js

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
