Allows control of Autodesk Maya through natural language, enabling AI-assisted 3D modeling, scene manipulation, material editing, animation, and workflow automation.

1. Click on "Install Server".

2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.

3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Maya MCP Server Create a blue sphere at position (0, 2, 0)"

That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
