How can I convert Maya legacy shaders (Phong, Blinn etc.) to MtoA?

A shader conversion script exists here. Once converted to a Standard shader, you will have the option to convert that shader into a Standard Surface shader in the attribute editor.

This is an old old question, there are more recent ones.

You don't just need to select a menu option.
