## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Endpoint Security**: 83/100
  - The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key.
  - No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one.
  - HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path.
  - The HSTS (Strict-Transport-Security) header is present.
  - DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root.
- **Transport & Reachability**: 100/100
  - Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 52/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 957 tokens (~478/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 30/100
  - Stability observed for 9 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## Install

### How do I install the Autodesk Product Help MCP server?

Autodesk Product Help MCP is a hosted endpoint at https://api.aps.autodesk.com/knowledge/public/v1/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

## MCP tools (2)

### `get_available_products` (~95 tokens)

Get Available Products

Returns the canonical Autodesk product catalog (closed set).
Each item has: product_name, product_code, and release_codes.
Use this to discover or validate product values for other product-scoped tools. Not required if valid product context is already available.
Terminology: release_codes = the code only (e.g. 2025), not the human-readable release name (release_name, e.g. 'AutoCAD 2025').

Output parameters:

- `result` (array)

### `search_help_content` (~835 tokens)

Search Help Content

Search Autodesk Help/Support documentation and return the most relevant documents for a user question.

Use when:
  \- The user asks how to do something in an Autodesk product.
  \- The user reports an error (include the exact error text/code in the query).
  \- The user needs official troubleshooting steps or reference documentation.

Call shape (recommended):
  \- Always pass: `query`, `locale`.
  \- If your agent has a default product context, pass it directly via `product_code` (preferred) or `product_name`.
  \- Pass `release_code` only when you can validate it for that product.

Behavior:
  1\) Locale:
     - Read `locale` from your current context. Do not guess locale.
     - Pass that locale as the `locale` parameter.

  2\) Product and release filters (best-effort):
     - If your agent already has a default `product_code` or `product_name`, pass it directly.
     - Only call `get_available_products` to validate/normalize when:
         a) product is missing/unknown in context, OR
         b) the user explicitly specifies a product that may differ from your default, OR
         c) you have a `release_code` that may not be valid for the product, OR
         d) the product/release value appears malformed or not an allowed enum/value.
     - If you cannot confidently map to an exact allowed value from `get_available_products`, omit that field rather than guessing.
     - If both `product_name` and `product_code` are present, they must refer to the same product; `product_code` takes precedence.

  3\) Query construction:
     - Make the query keyword-rich: include product + feature/task nouns.
     - Include exact error text/codes when relevant.
     - Use the user's wording where possible.
     - Do not include secrets, credentials, or personal data.

Returns:
  \- Up to `max_results` documents sorted by relevance. Each item includes title, url, locale, body, media_type, source (and may include internal IDs for debugging/deduplication).

Input parameters:

- `locale` (string, required): Required. Locale used to scope search/results (language/region). Use the locale from context (do not guess).
- `max_results`: Optional. Maximum number of results to return. Default is 5. Maximum allowed is 50.
- `product_code`: Optional. Product code filter (preferred). First check your context for product_code, then call `get_available_products` to validate/normalize it. Use only the exact product_code returned by `get_ava…
- `product_name`: Optional. Product name filter. First check your context for a product name, then call `get_available_products` to validate/normalize it. Use only the exact `product_name` returned by `get_available_p…
- `query` (string, required): Required. Keyword-rich search text. Include product + task/feature, and exact error codes/messages when relevant. Use the user's wording when possible. Write the query in the same language as `locale…
- `release_code`: Optional. Product-specific release identifier (often looks like a year, but may be alphanumeric/variant). First check your context for a release, then call `get_available_products` to validate/normal…
- `sources` (array): Restrict which sources to search. Defaults to all sources on this deployment when omitted. sfdc_articles: support/knowledge-base articles. product_documentation: official product documentation. aps_a…

Output parameters:

- `results` (array): List of search results.
- `total_results` (integer): Total number of results found.
