Pipeline stage — development workflow helpers for authoring Maya tools inside a live Maya session. Use to attach a local Python project, hot-reload its modules, run entrypoints or scripts, start debugpy, and capture Maya UI evidence, automate Qt controls, and return stable refs while iterating with an agent. Not for general scene editing: use domain skills first.

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-dev (Pipeline stage)

Development workflow helpers for agents working on Maya Python tools in a
live Maya session. The intended loop is:

1. `attach_project` once for the project root.
2. Edit files in the normal workspace.
3. `run_check` or `reload_modules` + `run_entrypoint`.
4. Inspect the concise summary, artifact refs, session events, and optional UI screenshot.

Set `DCC_MCP_MAYA_DEV_ROOTS` to a path-list of trusted roots when a studio
wants to restrict which local projects can be attached.

## Scripts

- `attach_project` — Add a development project root to Maya's `sys.path`
- `reload_modules` — Purge or reload modules belonging to the attached project
- `run_entrypoint` — Import and call a Python entrypoint from the project
- `run_script` — Run a project-local `.py` script with captured output
- `start_debugpy` — Start a debugpy listener in the Maya process with attach metadata
- `capture_ui` — Capture the Maya main window or a named Qt widget as PNG
- `ui_snapshot` / `ui_find` / `ui_action` — Inspect and operate Maya Qt UI controls, with optional action evidence artifacts
- `make_node_ref` / `resolve_node_ref` — Build and resolve stable Maya node references

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-maya/maya-dev@sha256:2afeb210f41b8074

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261101.007773d, 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.
