This is the English reading version of the Dutch news item Autodesk gaat zelf de MCP-service hosten.
Autodesk has added a third MCP service for Fusion. There were already two, and each does a different job.
The three services
The first is Autodesk Fusion MCP. It drives Fusion on your own computer: real time, local, and aimed at the modelling and making work in the program you have open yourself.
The second is Autodesk Fusion Data MCP. It does no CAD. It is the service that manages your data: hubs, projects, folders, permissions, properties and metadata. So you use it to organise your files, but you cannot make a sketch or a feature with it.
The third is new: Autodesk Fusion Compute MCP. It runs in the cloud and drives Fusion there. So an agent works in Fusion without Fusion being open on your PC, and you can carry on working on your own machine or look in later. You do not hand your Fusion subscription over to an agent; every agent gets its own Fusion environment to work in.
A session starts within seconds and keeps running for at most an hour. In the beta you get two sessions at a time, and sessions are temporary: anything you want to keep you have to save or export before the end.
All three need an Autodesk account, an active Fusion licence and a hub in Fusion Team. You connect the cloud service to your MCP client through https://developer.api.autodesk.com/da/v3/mcp/fusion.
The details are in the post on the Autodesk blog and in the documentation.
