Text To Model
Turn natural language into 3D models in Fusion 360, with CAD tools for sketches, extrudes, fillets and JIS standard parts.
What can you do with Text To Model?
- Natural Language → CAD — Describe what you want, Claude builds it in Fusion 360
- 64 MCP Tools — Sketches, extrudes, fillets, sweeps, lofts, booleans, patterns, and more
- JIS Standard Parts — Generate bolts, nuts, screws, washers, keyways, bearings, and O-rings with accurate JIS dimensions (ISO equivalents planned)
- Full Parametric Workflow — Sketches → features → modifications → export (STEP/STL)
- Works with Claude Desktop & Claude Code

TextToModel
Turn natural language into 3D models in Fusion 360.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server add-in that connects Claude to Autodesk Fusion 360 — giving you 64 CAD tools controllable through plain text.
Highlights
- Natural Language → CAD — Describe what you want, Claude builds it in Fusion 360
- 64 MCP Tools — Sketches, extrudes, fillets, sweeps, lofts, booleans, patterns, and more
- JIS Standard Parts — Generate bolts, nuts, screws, washers, keyways, bearings, and O-rings with accurate JIS dimensions (ISO equivalents planned)
- Full Parametric Workflow — Sketches → features → modifications → export (STEP/STL)
- Works with Claude Desktop & Claude Code
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Autodesk Fusion 360
- Claude Desktop or Claude Code
- Node.js (for
npx)
Installation
- Clone this repo into Fusion 360's add-in directory:
# Windows
git clone https://github.com/mikan-atomoki/text-to-model.git "%APPDATA%\Autodesk\Autodesk Fusion 360\API\AddIns\TextToModel"
# macOS
git clone https://github.com/mikan-atomoki/text-to-model.git ~/Library/Application\ Support/Autodesk/Autodesk\ Fusion\ 360/API/AddIns/TextToModel
- In Fusion 360: UTILITIES → ADD-INS → Scripts and Add-Ins → Run TextToModel
- Connect to Claude:
Claude Desktop — add to your MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"fusion360": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "http://127.0.0.1:13405/sse"]
}
}
}
Claude Code — run:
claude mcp add fusion360-mcp --transport sse http://127.0.0.1:13405/sse
That's it. Open Claude and start modeling.
Examples
Create an M8x30 hex socket head bolt at the origin
Draw a 50mm × 30mm rectangle on the XY plane, extrude it 20mm,
and add a 3mm fillet to the top long edges
Draw a 20mm diameter circle, create a revolve, then add a keyway

Architecture
Claude Desktop/Code ←→ MCP (HTTP/SSE) ←→ Bridge (CustomEvent) ←→ Fusion 360 API
The add-in runs an HTTP/SSE server inside Fusion 360. Claude sends tool calls via MCP protocol, and the bridge executes them on Fusion's main thread using a CustomEvent-based synchronization mechanism.
