listing.about

Connects an AI assistant to Blender through a socket server that runs inside a Blender addon. You can create, modify and delete objects, apply materials and colors, inspect the current scene, and run Python code in Blender. It can also fetch assets from Poly Haven, Sketchfab and Poly Pizza, and generate models with Hyper3D Rodin and Hunyuan3D.

Runs locally over stdio with uvx mcp-for-blender. It needs Blender 3.0 or newer, Python 3.10 or newer, uv, and the companion Blender addon, which uvx mcp-for-blender install-addon installs. This is a community project, not affiliated with the Blender Foundation. Formerly published as blender-mcp.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport stdio blender -- uvx mcp-for-blender
  1. Start Claude Code and type /mcp. blender should show as connected.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config. It opens claude_desktop_config.json. Add:
claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-for-blender"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

Needs uv (Python) on your computer. The file lives in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS and %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-for-blender"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs uv (Python) on your computer.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"blender","type":"stdio","command":"uvx","args":["mcp-for-blender"]}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "blender": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-for-blender"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Needs uv (Python) on your computer.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-for-blender"
      ]
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf.

Codex

codex mcp add blender -- uvx mcp-for-blender

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.blender]
command = "uvx"
args = ["mcp-for-blender"]

Needs uv (Python) on your computer.

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add blender uvx mcp-for-blender

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients that start local servers accept this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-for-blender"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings, with the same command, args and env fields.

Needs uv (Python) on your computer.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/blender into my MCP client?

No. Blender MCP runs on your own computer, started by your client, so it has no web address to connect to. The quick link is the page to share; the install command is uvx mcp-for-blender.

Does Blender MCP need an API key?

No. It doesn't declare any keys or environment variables. It runs with your user account's permissions, so check what its tools can reach.

Is Blender MCP a remote or a local server?

Local. Your client starts it as a process on your computer with uvx mcp-for-blender, which needs uv (Python).

What can Blender MCP do?

You can create, modify and delete 3D objects in Blender, apply and modify materials and colors and inspect details of the current Blender scene.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that starts local servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. claude.ai and ChatGPT only connect to remote servers.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Blender MCP's public metadata (its package and repository pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
