DCC-MCP Smithsonian 3D Assets

Agent workflow

AI agents should use installed package skills through the shared gateway. IDE users may continue to use the MCP endpoint.

Install or update the CLI

dcc-mcp-cli is the preferred control path for every shell-capable agent. If it is missing, ask the user before installing the latest official release:

# Linux/macOS
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-core/main/scripts/install-cli.sh | sh

# Windows PowerShell
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -c "irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-core/main/scripts/install-cli.ps1 | iex"

Keep an official build current through the release manifest:

dcc-mcp-cli update check
dcc-mcp-cli update apply

update apply downloads and stages the latest CLI for the next launch. It does not update a running dcc-mcp-server; update that server in its own environment.

dcc-mcp-cli dcc-types
dcc-mcp-cli list
dcc-mcp-cli search --query "<task>" --dcc-type <host>
dcc-mcp-cli describe <tool-slug>
dcc-mcp-cli call <tool-slug> --json '{"key":"value"}'

If the package skill is not active, call dcc-mcp-cli load-skill <skill-name> --dcc-type <host>. After the task, query dcc-mcp-cli stats --range 24h --session-id <task-id> and pass only bounded evidence to the review_skill_improvement prompt from dcc-mcp-skills-creator.

Search and download Smithsonian Open Access 3D files from the public S3 mirror and Smithsonian 3D API document endpoint.
