3dsmax-mcp vs Pepper

3dsmax-mcp: 3dsmax-mcp is an MCP server that connects AI agents like Claude, Codex, and Gemini to Autodesk 3ds Max. It enables scene inspection and manipulation, object creation, material assignment, scripting, and viewport captures. It includes a native C++ plugin for 3ds Max 2026 and a MAXScript fallback for older versions.; Pepper: Pepper is an MCP server that injects a dylib into iOS Simulator apps via DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES, starting a WebSocket server inside the app process to expose over 50 tools for view hierarchy, touch input, network interception, heap inspection, and more. It simplifies giving AI agents full runtime access to iOS apps for testing and automation.
