The blender-mcp server provides AI-powered natural language control over Blender, enabling comprehensive 3D creation, animation, rendering, and asset management through 80+ specialized MCP tools and agentic workflows.

AI-Powered Creation & Automation

• Control Blender via natural language prompts; LLMs generate and execute Blender Python scripts

• Multi-step autonomous workflows, batch operations, async job queue, and vision-based refinement loops

• Generate 3D meshes from text/images via Tripo, Rodin, and Hunyuan3D backends

3D Modeling & Editing

• Create primitives and complex objects (furniture, rooms, etc.); extrude, bevel, subdivide, merge, join/separate

• Modifiers: subdivision surface, bevel, mirror, solidify, array, boolean, decimate, displace, wave

• Sculpting: dynamic topology, voxel remesh, symmetrize; UV unwrapping (smart project, cube/sphere/cylinder projection)

• Procedural modeling via Geometry Nodes; Grease Pencil for 2D drawing and animation

Materials, Textures & Shaders

• Create PBR materials (metal, glass, fabric, wood, ceramic) with full shader node graph control

• Procedural textures (noise, voronoi, musgrave, checker, brick, gradient)

• Texture baking (toon/MToon to PBR), material atlasing for VR optimization

Animation & Rigging

• Keyframe animation (location, rotation, scale), shape keys, actions, NLA tracks

• Armature creation, IK setup, biped rigs, bone constraints, action baking

• VRM facial expressions, visemes, blink animations

Lighting, Camera & Rendering

• Create sun/point/spot/area lights, HDRI environments, three-point lighting setups

• Render single frames, animation sequences, turntables, and multi-angle shots with Cycles/EEVEE

• Compositor post-processing: bloom, SSAO, DOF, motion blur, glow/glare

• Viewport screenshots for agent vision feedback

Video Editing (VSE)

• Add and manage movie, audio, image, scene, text, and effect strips

• Cut, trim, move, apply transitions (CROSS, WIPE, GLOW, GAUSSIAN_BLUR), and export to MP4/H264

Import & Export

• Import: FBX, OBJ, GLTF/GLB, STL, PLY, CAD (STEP/IGES via Mayo/FreeCAD), and more

• Export: GLB, GLTF, FBX, OBJ, STL, USD, VRM; platform presets for VRChat, Unity, Resonite, Unreal

• Download files from URLs and import directly; batch image resize/convert

VR & Avatar Pipeline

• VRM metadata management (spring bones, first-person offsets, look-at settings)

• Platform validation (polycount, bones, materials, transforms) for VRChat, Resonite, Unity

• Gaussian splatting: import, crop/clean, generate collision meshes, export for Resonite

Asset & Library Management

• Search and import from Poly Haven (HDRIs, textures, models) and Sketchfab

• Manage a local object repository; install, enable, and remove Blender add-ons

Scene & Session Management

• Manage scenes, collections, view layers, cameras, object transforms, and selections

• Run headless or connect to a live Blender GUI session for real-time feedback

System & Utilities

• Server status, logs, health checks, config management (LLM provider, theme, settings)

• Blender Python API documentation lookup; local LLM model management (Ollama)

• Cross-MCP asset handoff for downstream tools (Godot, Unity, FreeCAD, Tahoma2D)

Controls Blender 3D creation suite, enabling natural language generation of 3D scenes, objects, animations, and renders.

Supports import and export of glTF 3D model files for cross-platform compatibility.

Exports 3D assets and scenes to Unity for game development and VR applications.

Exports 3D assets and avatars to VRChat for virtual reality social platforms.

1. Click on "Install Server".

2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.

3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@blender-mcp create a glass sphere with a metal base"

That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
