mcp-for-blender
by ahujasid
This is a Model Context Protocol server and Blender add-on that lets an AI assistant such as Claude control Blender 3D. It is for building and changing 3D scenes, objects and materials by typing prompts instead of working by hand.

What you can do with it
- Ask an AI assistant to create, change or delete 3D objects and apply materials and colours in Blender
- Pull in assets and models from Poly Haven, Sketchfab and Poly Pizza, or generate 3D models with services such as Meshy, Tripo and Hyper3D Rodin
- Let the AI write and run Blender Python code and check its own work through renders and multi-angle views
Make money with it
A freelancer could offer quick 3D asset or scene creation for small clients, using prompts to speed up the first draft and then refining by hand.
An idea, not financial advice. Check the licence before charging for anything built on it.
Ways a business could use it
- Produce product mockups, simple scenes and placeholder 3D assets faster, cutting the hours spent on manual modelling
- Prototype game or visualisation assets in-house instead of paying a 3D artist for early drafts
Can you use it commercially?
Free to use, change and sell, including in paid products. Keep the copyright notice.
Not legal advice. Read the project's licence file before building a product on it.
Getting it running
Run the one-line install script (or `uvx mcp-for-blender setup`), which configures your AI app and installs the Blender add-on, then restart both apps.
Follow the official instructions in the project README.
Things to check
- Lets the AI run arbitrary Python code inside Blender, so save your work and be careful with what you approve
- AI model generation services need their own API keys or a paid premium plan
- Needs a separate MCP-compatible AI app, which may itself be paid
- Includes telemetry that you may want to review and switch off
- Third-party project, not made by the Blender Foundation
- The install script is run by piping a download into the shell, so check it first if you are cautious
