BlenderMCP connects Blender to Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing Claude to directly interact with and control Blender. This integration enables prompt assisted 3D modeling, scene creation, and manipulation.

• Two-way communication: Connect Claude AI to Blender through a socket-based server
• Object manipulation: Create, modify, and delete 3D objects in Blender
• Material control: Apply and modify materials and colors
• Scene inspection: Get detailed information about the current Blender scene
• Code execution: Run arbitrary Python code in Blender from Claude

The system consists of two main components:

1. Blender Addon (addon.py): A Blender addon that creates a socket server within Blender to receive and execute commands
2. MCP Server (src/blender_mcp/server.py): A Python server that implements the Model Context Protocol and connects to the Blender addon

• Blender 3.0 or newer
• Python 3.10 or newer
• uv package manager:

If you're on Mac, please install uv as

brew install uv

Otherwise installation instructions are on their website: Install uv

Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config to include the following:

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

Run blender-mcp without installing it permanently through uvx. Go to Cursor Settings > MCP and paste this as a command.

uvx blender-mcp

1. Download the addon.py file from this repo
2. Open Blender
3. Go to Edit > Preferences > Add-ons
4. Click "Install..." and select the addon.py file
5. Enable the addon by checking the box next to "Interface: Blender MCP"

1. In Blender, go to the 3D View sidebar (press N if not visible)
2. Find the "BlenderMCP" tab
3. Set the port number (default: 9876)
4. Click "Start MCP Server"
5. Make sure the MCP server is running in your terminal

Once the config file has been set on Claude, and the addon is running on Blender, you will see a hammer icon with tools for the Blender MCP.

• get_scene_info - Gets scene information
• get_object_info - Gets detailed information for a specific object in the scene
• create_primitive - Create basic primitive objects with optional color
• set_object_property - Set a single property of an object
• create_object - Create a new object with detailed parameters
• modify_object - Modify an existing object's properties
• delete_object - Remove an object from the scene
• set_material - Apply or create materials for objects
• execute_blender_code - Run any Python code in Blender

Here are some examples of what you can ask Claude to do:

• "Create a low poly scene in a dungeon, with a dragon guarding a pot of gold" Demo
• Give a reference image, and create a Blender scene out of it Demo
• "Get information about the current scene, and make a threejs sketch from it" Demo
• "Make this car red and metallic"
• "Create a sphere and place it above the cube"
• "Make the lighting like a studio"
• "Point the camera at the scene, and make it isometric"

• Connection issues: Make sure the Blender addon server is running, and the MCP server is configured on Claude, DO NOT run the uvx command in the terminal
• Timeout errors: Try simplifying your requests or breaking them into smaller steps
• Have you tried turning it off and on again?: If you're still having connection errors, try restarting both Claude and the Blender server

The system uses a simple JSON-based protocol over TCP sockets:

• Commands are sent as JSON objects with a type and optional params
• Responses are JSON objects with a status and result or message

• The execute_blender_code tool allows running arbitrary Python code in Blender, which can be powerful but potentially dangerous. Use with caution in production environments. ALWAYS save your work before using it.
• Complex operations might need to be broken down into smaller steps
