MCP for Blender (BlenderMCP) 🔌 MCP server Open source

What it is

MCP for Blender (formerly BlenderMCP, repo renamed from ahujasid/blender-mcp) is a community project by Siddharth Ahuja that connects AI assistants to Blender through a Blender add-on and an MCP server. The assistant can inspect and build scenes, set materials, import assets and export models. The README states it is a third-party integration, not made by Blender.

Key features

• Scene inspection and object creation, editing and deletion
• Material creation and editing
• Run Python inside Blender
• Import assets from Poly Haven, Sketchfab and Poly Pizza
• AI-generated 3D models via Hyper3D Rodin and Hunyuan3D
• Export scenes to GLB or FBX

How to install

Install uv and Blender 3.0+ with Python 3.10+, then run uvx mcp-for-blender install-addon to install the add-on, and add the server to your client. The README lists Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, OpenCode and Antigravity.

Pricing and rights

Free and MIT-licensed. Asset sources keep their own terms: Poly Haven assets are CC0, while Sketchfab models carry per-model licences and Hyper3D generation uses that service's credits. The Python execution tool runs arbitrary code in Blender, so save your work first.

Who it is for

3D artists, motion designers and creators who want to block out scenes, product shots or thumbnails with natural language.

Verdict

The most popular way to drive Blender from an AI, with useful asset integrations. The run-Python tool is powerful but risky, and complex scenes still need a human in Blender.
