## Description

Maya MCP server provides a bridge between AI assistants and Autodesk Maya, enabling control through natural language commands. Built by Patrick Palmer with Python, it uses Maya's command port to execute operations without requiring installation within Maya itself. The server dynamically loads tools from Python modules and exposes functionality for scene management, object creation, attribute manipulation, and viewport control. Its elegant design allows for easy extension by simply adding new tool files to the mayatools directory, making it particularly valuable for 3D artists and technical directors who need to automate Maya tasks through conversational AI interfaces.
