maya-scripting SKILL.md skillA
maya-scripting from dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya/maya-scripting@git:20260526.da30f77Pins git:20260526.da30f77 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Bootstrap stage — escape hatch for Maya work that has no packaged skill yet. Agents should prefer search_skills / dcc_capability_manifest → load_skill → typed tools (inputSchema + annotations) from domain skills; use execute_python or execute_mel only when no skill matches, for bulk in-process loops, or for API introspection. Includes typed plug-in lifecycle tools and introspection tools so an agent can discover flags and method signatures without leaving the loop.
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-scripting (Bootstrap stage)
**Skills-first default:** `search_skills` / `dcc_capability_manifest` → `load_skill("<domain>")` → call the concrete tool from `tools.yaml` (validated `inputSchema`, safety hints). Reserve `execute_python` / `execute_mel` for **escape hatches**: no matching skill, intentional bulk work inside one Maya payload, OpenMaya-only gaps, or introspection-only passes.
Studios can hard-block arbitrary execution with `DCC_MCP_MAYA_DISABLE_EXECUTE_PYTHON=1`, `DCC_MCP_MAYA_DISABLE_EXECUTE_MEL=1`, or `DCC_MCP_MAYA_DISABLE_ARBITRARY_SCRIPT=1` (blocks both).
## Decision tree
```
Intent matches a Pipeline-stage skill (shot-export, render-farm, pipeline)?
→ load that skill instead.
Intent matches an Interchange skill (FBX/OBJ/preset import or export)?
→ load maya-geometry / maya-export-preset.
Intent matches an Authoring skill (mesh, uv, material, rig, anim, light)?
→ load that domain skill — its tools.yaml has full inputSchema and safety hints.
Only need cmds / OpenMaya discovery (no mutation)?
→ activate introspect group; prefer introspect_* over execute_python.
Need to load, unload, or inspect a Maya plug-in?

How to install
mdr add dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya/maya-scripting@sha256:a4bff31411381c60The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260526.da30f77, 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.
