Authoring stage — keyframes, timeline, animation curves, constraint baking, and curve I/O. Use whenever you create or edit time-based motion. Not for rigging setup (maya-rigging), pose library (maya-pose-library), or render output (maya-render).

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# maya-animation (Authoring stage)

Keyframes, timeline, curves, constraint / simulation baking, and
animation curve I/O. Sixteen scripts in three logical clusters:

1. **Frame / time queries** — `get_current_time`, `set_current_time`,
   `set_timeline`, `get_frame_range`, `query_scene_time_info`.
2. **Key editing** — `set_keyframe`, `set_keyframes`, `get_keyframes`,
   `get_anim_curves`, `delete_keyframes`,
   `list_animation_curves`, `set_animation_curve_tangent`.
3. **Bake + persistence** — `bake_simulation`, `bake_constraints`,
   `export_animation_curves`, `import_animation_curves`.

## Scripts

- `set_keyframe` — Set a keyframe on an object at the given time
- `set_keyframes` — Set and verify one bounded multi-object animation curve
- `get_keyframes` — Get all keyframe times for an object / attribute
- `get_anim_curves` — Read values, tangents, infinity, and counts in `dcc-mcp/anim-curves@1`
- `set_timeline` — Set the playback and animation timeline range
- `get_current_time` — Get the current frame number
- `set_current_time` — Set the current frame number
- `delete_keyframes` — Delete keyframes from an object within an optional frame range

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya/maya-animation@sha256:78c2bdd7aa14b18b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.6e83dea, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
