Blender MCP

Blender MCP is the one that went viral on X: people typing "make a low-poly beach scene at sunset" and watching Claude build it live in Blender. Claude can create and edit objects, materials, lighting and animation, then look at the result from several angles and fix what's off.

It can also pull in free assets from Poly Haven, Sketchfab and Poly Pizza, and generate new 3D models from text or images through services like Meshy and Hunyuan3D, using your own keys or the paid add-on. It's a community project, renamed "MCP for Blender", and isn't made by Blender.

Setup takes one command: uvx mcp-for-blender setup installs the Blender add-on and configures Claude. You'll need Blender 3.0+ and uv. Save often, because it runs code directly in your scene. BLENDER_MCP_SAFE_MODE=1 blocks file and network access if you want a safety net. Blender has since released its own official MCP (Blender 5.1+), but it's focused on scene analysis rather than building.

• Build and change objects, materials and lighting in your open Blender scene
• Look at the scene from different angles to check its own work
• Pull free assets from Poly Haven, Sketchfab and Poly Pizza
• Generate 3D models from text or an image
• Set up animation and rigging with Blender's Python tools

Open your terminal in the project folder and run:

claude mcp add blender -- uvx mcp-for-blender

Other ways to set it up:

# One-step setup: installs the Blender add-on and configures Claude for you
uvx mcp-for-blender setup
# Then in Blender: press N in the 3D viewport > MCP for Blender tab > Start MCP Server
