How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security50

Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

How do I install the Maya MCP server?
Maya MCP runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx maya-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

claude mcp add gimbalgoats-maya-mcp -- uvx maya-mcp
What is the Maya MCP server?
Maya MCP is listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.GimbalGoats/maya-mcp. Control Autodesk Maya scenes with 71 typed tools for modeling, animation, shading, and more. This page covers its PyPI package (maya-mcp).
Is the Maya MCP server safe to use?
Maya MCP scores 67 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Maya MCP server expose?
Maya MCP exposes 71 tools: health.check, maya.connect, maya.disconnect, scene.info, scene.new, and 66 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 4,916 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Maya MCP server still maintained?
Maya MCP is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the Maya MCP server under?
Maya MCP declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
