dcc-mcp-mobu

Part of the DCC-MCP host matrix

dcc-mcp-mobu — Autodesk MotionBuilder adapter for DCC-MCP.

It is one of 48 host adapters in the DCC-MCP catalog. Every adapter speaks the same
MCP protocol and builds on the same core runtime contract; each one exposes the tools
its own host needs on top of that.

Agent workflow

AI agents should use the shared gateway through dcc-mcp-cli; IDE users may
continue to use the MCP endpoint. Prefer typed skills and tools over raw scripts.

Install or update the CLI

dcc-mcp-cli is the preferred control path for every shell-capable agent. If
it is missing, ask the user before installing the latest official release:

# Linux/macOS
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-core/main/scripts/install-cli.sh | sh

# Windows PowerShell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-core/main/scripts/install-cli.ps1 | iex"

Keep an official build current through the release manifest:

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

update apply downloads and stages the latest CLI for the next launch. It
does not update a running dcc-mcp-server; update that server in its own
environment.

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

dcc-types reports release-catalog support; list reports live sessions. If a
tool belongs to an inactive progressive skill, call dcc-mcp-cli load-skill <skill-name> --dcc-type mobu before retrying. For post-task improvement,
attach a stable session id with --meta-json, query dcc-mcp-cli stats --range 24h --session-id <task-id>, then pass the bounded evidence to the
review_skill_improvement prompt from dcc-mcp-skills-creator.

An MCP adapter for Autodesk MotionBuilder, built on dcc-mcp-core.

It exposes a small, typed scene-management surface and runs MotionBuilder API calls on the application's UI thread.

Install

Follow the agent-first installation and lifecycle guide. It uses
MotionBuilder's exact mobupy, stages a receipted Startup hook, verifies a
typed host ping, and provides standard install/status/verify/uninstall/upgrade
commands. A system-pip install is not a MotionBuilder installation.

Each adapter instance uses an OS-assigned port and registers it for CLI discovery. Connect
through the stable gateway at http://127.0.0.1:9765/mcp; set DCC_MCP_MOBU_PORT only
when a fixed direct endpoint is required.

Tools

• mobu-scene.inspect_scene
• mobu-scene.list_models
• mobu-scene.save_scene

save_scene is destructive and requires an explicit absolute .fbx path.
