automotive-3d-mcp

Automotive 3D MCP — give any AI assistant everything it needs to build car configurators, AR showrooms, HUD overlays, 3D dashboards, parts catalogs, and EV charging station viewers with SceneView on Android.

Every tool returns complete, compilable Kotlin code using current SceneView 3.6.x APIs (Jetpack Compose, rememberModelInstance, ModelNode, LightNode with the named apply parameter, ARScene) — ready to drop into an Android project.

Installation

Quick start (Claude Desktop)

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "automotive-3d": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "automotive-3d-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then restart Claude Desktop and ask:

"Build me a 3D car configurator for a sports car with color picker and turntable."

From the command line

npx automotive-3d-mcp

From source

git clone https://github.com/sceneview/sceneview.git
cd sceneview/mcp/packages/automotive
npm install
npm run build
npm start

Tools

| Tool | Description | |---|---| | get_car_configurator | 3D car configurator with color / material variants, camera presets (exterior, interior, detail), turntable, and AR mode. 10 body styles. | | get_hud_overlay | Heads-up display overlay via ViewNode — speedometer, navigation, alerts, fuel, temperature, gear, turn signals, lane assist. 6 styles. | | get_dashboard_3d | 3D instrument cluster with animated gauges — speedometer, tachometer, fuel, temperature, oil pressure, battery, boost, odometer. 6 themes. | | get_ar_showroom | AR car placement in real space (driveway, parking lot, garage). Walk-around, color swap, open doors, measurements, night lighting, photo capture. | | get_parts_catalog | 3D parts explorer with exploded view, part selection, cross-section, search. 10 categories with realistic part data and pricing. | | get_ev_charging_station_viewer | New in 1.1. 3D EV charging station model + Material 3 overlay showing live charge level, available bays, and ETA. 5 connectors, 4 layouts, optional AR mode. | | get_car_paint_shader | New in 1.1. Filament .mat car-paint material with clearcoat and metallic flakes, plus a Kotlin snippet that loads the compiled .filamat and applies it to a model. 4 finish presets. | | list_car_models | Database of 18+ free, openly-licensed 3D car models — Khronos ToyCar, Sketchfab free cars, engines, interiors, wheels. Source URLs and licenses included. | | validate_automotive_code | Validates SceneView automotive code for threading, null-safety, API misuse, scale issues, and format warnings. |

Usage examples

Ask your AI assistant:

• "Build me a 3D car configurator for a sedan with color picker and turntable."
• "Create an AR showroom to place an SUV in my driveway with night lighting."
• "Generate a HUD overlay with speedometer, navigation, and fuel gauge in sport style."
• "Build a 3D instrument cluster with speedometer and tachometer in electric theme."
• "Create an engine parts catalog with exploded view and part numbers."
• "Show me a 3D EV charging station viewer for a Tesla bank with the live charge level overlay."
• "Give me a Filament car paint shader with a pearlescent gold finish and a clearcoat layer."
• "List the free 3D car models I can use for a configurator demo."
• "Validate my car viewer SceneView code for common mistakes."

Every tool returns complete, compilable Kotlin code using SceneView 3.6.x with proper:

• Gradle dependencies
• SceneView composable setup (rememberEngine, rememberModelLoader, rememberCollisionSystem)
• Null-safe model loading via rememberModelInstance
• LightNode with the named apply parameter (not a trailing lambda)
• Material 3 UI controls
• Main-thread Filament calls (no background-thread model or material creation)
• AR mode with ARCore setup instructions

Dependencies

• SceneView 3.6.x — 3D / AR rendering on Android
• ARSceneView 3.6.x — AR features (optional, only required when ar=true)
• MCP SDK — Model Context Protocol
