About Autodesk Fusion
Autodesk Fusion MCP is a local bridge for creating, modifying, and inspecting CAD geometry in a running Autodesk Fusion session. It is for MCP clients that need to interact with Fusion on the same machine.
Key features
- 01Create CAD geometry
- 02Modify CAD geometry
- 03Inspect CAD geometry
- 04Proxy stdio to Fusion over localhost
Use cases
- 01Create geometry in a running Fusion session
- 02Modify an existing CAD design
- 03Inspect geometry through an MCP client
MCP support
The bundle proxies MCP stdio to the MCP server built into Autodesk Fusion over localhost. Autodesk Fusion must be installed, running, and configured with its MCP server enabled.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project READMEAutodesk Fusion MCP
MCP server for Autodesk Fusion: create, modify and inspect CAD geometry in a running Fusion session from any MCP client.
Registry name: com.autodesk.aps.api/fusion-local-mcp
How it works
This package is a thin bridge. The MCP server itself is built into the Fusion desktop application;
the bundle proxies stdio to it over http://127.0.0.1:<port>/mcp (default port 27182) using
mcp-remote. Everything stays on your machine.
This server requires Autodesk Fusion. If you don't already have it, download Fusion (www.autodesk.com) to get started.
Requirements
- Autodesk Fusion, installed and running. Without it there is nothing for the client to connect to.
- The MCP server enabled in Fusion (see Find your port and URL).
- An MCP client: Claude Desktop (MCPB bundle) or Cursor (manual config).
Find your port and URL
- In Fusion, open Preferences > General > API.
- Under "Preferences for Scripting and Programming", tick Fusion MCP Server (runs locally on this device).
- Read Fusion MCP Server Port. The field label shows the full endpoint, by default
http://127.0.0.1:27182/mcp. - Click Apply or OK. If you change the port, use the same value in your client.
Install
Claude Desktop
Download fusion_mcpb.mcpb from the Fusion MCP release
and open it with Claude Desktop. The bundle asks for the port Fusion's MCP server listens on (default 27182).
Cursor
Open Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & MCPs and add Fusion to your MCP configuration (~/.cursor/mcp.json, or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"fusion": {
"url": "http://127.0.0.1:27182/mcp"
}
}
}
Make sure the port matches the one shown in Fusion's preferences. See the Fusion blog post for more.

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.
