Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/sandraschi/blender-mcp
cd blender-mcp
just
This opens an interactive dashboard showing all available commands. Run just bootstrap
to install dependencies, then just serve or just dev to start.
Manual Setup (without just)
uv sync
.venv\Scripts\activate
python run_server.py
Claude Desktop Integration
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
"mcpServers": {
"blender-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "D:/Dev/repos/blender-mcp", "run", "blender-mcp"]
}
}
Webapp Dashboard
A premium web interface for monitoring and control runs on port 10848 (backed by API on 10849).
.\start.ps1
Startup flags: -Headless (background), -BackendOnly (API only), -NoBrowser (no auto-open).
Access the dashboard at http://localhost:10848.

Native Desktop App (Tauri 2.0)
A ~15 MB installer bundles the full app — no Python, no Node.js, no git clone needed.
just build-native # Full pipeline: webapp → PyInstaller → Tauri installer
just build-native-debug # Debug build (skips PyInstaller)
The installer lands at native/target/release/bundle/nsis/Blender MCP_0.1.0_x64-setup.exe.
Industrial Quality Stack
Adheres to SOTA 14.1 industrial standards:
- Python: Ruff for linting and formatting. Zero-tolerance for
printin core handlers (T201). - Webapp: Biome for sub-millisecond linting. Strict
noConsoleLogenforcement. - Protocol Compliance: Hardened stdout/stderr isolation for crash-resistant JSON-RPC communication.
- Automation: Justfile recipes for all fleet operations (
just lint,just fix,just dev). - Security: Automated audits via
banditandsafety.
