Overview

Blender MCP is an open-source Model Context Protocol server that lets AI assistants control Blender through natural language. It works with any MCP-compatible client — Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and more.

The project consists of two components:

MCP Server (src/blender_mcp/) — a FastMCP server exposing Blender operations as MCP tools
Blender Addon (addon/blender_mcp_addon/) — a Blender plugin that receives commands over TCP and executes them via Blender's Python API

AI Client (Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Desktop)
    ↓  MCP protocol (stdio or HTTP)
Blender MCP Server (Python, FastMCP)
    ↓  TCP JSON messages (localhost:9876)
Blender Addon (runs inside Blender)
    ↓  Blender Python API (bpy)

Key Features

359 MCP tools across 51 modules — modeling, materials, animation, rendering, rigging, and more
Smart skill loading — default skill profile starts with 32 tools; 12 skill groups activate on demand to keep AI context lean
6 profiles — from minimal (29 tools) to full (356 tools)
Visual feedback — blender_snapshot_viewport and blender_snapshot_render_preview for multimodal AI review loops
Checkpoint system — named save/restore points before risky operations
Style system — 8 rendering style presets from Pixel Art to AAA
67 procedural materials — metals, woods, stones, fabrics, nature, skin, effects, toon
Quality audit — topology, UV, and performance validation
Blender 4.x / 5.x compatible
Multi-IDE support — Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and any MCP client

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+
Blender 4.0+
uv (recommended) or pip
An MCP-compatible client

Install & Run

git clone https://github.com/harveyxiacn/blender-mcp.git
cd blender-mcp
uv sync

# Build the Blender addon
python build_addon.py

# Start the MCP server
uv run blender-mcp

Or install from PyPI:

pip install blender-mcp
blender-mcp

Set Up Blender

Open Blender → Edit → Preferences → Add-ons → Install...
Select dist/blender_mcp_addon.zip
Enable Blender MCP
Open the MCP panel in the 3D View sidebar

Configure Your IDE

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/blender-mcp", "blender-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tool Profiles

Profile	Tools	Use Case
`minimal`	29	Core scene/object/utility/export only
`skill`	32	Default — core + on-demand skill loading
`focused`	108	Curated workflow set
`standard`	165	Broader daily-use coverage
`extended`	194	Adds physics & batch operations
`full`	356	Everything

Skill System

With the default skill profile, only core tools load at startup. AI activates additional groups on demand:

blender_list_skills         → see all 12 available skill groups
blender_activate_skill      → load a group's tools dynamically
blender_deactivate_skill    → unload to free AI context

Skills include: modeling, materials, style, character, animation, scene_setup, automation, physics, batch_assets, advanced_3d, sport_character, training.
