Robotics MCP Server

robot_model

Create, import, export, and convert robot 3D models across Blender, Unity/VRChat/Resonite, and common formats. Handle .spz files and run custom scripts to streamline robotics model workflows.

Instructions

Robot model management portmanteau for Robotics MCP.

PORTMANTEAU PATTERN RATIONALE: Instead of creating 4 separate tools (create, import, export, convert), this tool consolidates related model operations into a single interface. This design:

  • Prevents tool explosion (4 tools -> 1 tool) while maintaining full functionality

  • Improves discoverability by grouping related operations together

  • Reduces cognitive load when working with robot models

  • Enables consistent model interface across all operations

  • Follows FastMCP 2.13+ best practices for feature-rich MCP servers

SUPPORTED OPERATIONS:

  • create: Create robot 3D model from scratch using Blender MCP

  • import: Import robot 3D model into Unity/VRChat/Resonite project

  • export: Export robot model from Unity to file format

  • convert: Convert robot model between formats

  • spz_check: Check .spz conversion tool availability

  • spz_convert: Convert .spz file to .ply or other format

  • spz_extract: Extract metadata from .spz file

  • spz_install: Install Unity Gaussian Splatting plugin (alternative to .spz)

  • execute_script: Execute custom Blender Python script (like Gemini-generated scripts)

  • list_scripts: List all available scripts in the repository by category

  • execute_repository_script: Execute a script from the repository with optional parameters

  3. First observed

TDQS

B3.3/5.0
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

With no annotations, the description carries the behavioral burden, and it does surface several significant behaviors such as using Blender MCP, installing plugins, and executing custom scripts. It does not, however, summarize the side effects of these operations, such as file writes, project modifications, or the safety implications of running arbitrary scripts.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness3/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The SUPPORTED OPERATIONS list is structured and scannable, which is important for an 11-operation tool. The PORTMANTEAU PATTERN RATIONALE section is largely product-design commentary and imparts little invocation knowledge, making the overall description longer than necessary.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a tool with 23 parameters and 11 operation modes, the description gives an adequate but minimal high-level map. It should provide a per-operation parameter orientation or a stronger example, but the detailed operation enum and high schema coverage reduce the gap.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The schema description coverage is roughly 87%, so most parameter meaning already comes from the schema. The description adds little parameter-level value beyond mapping script/category/script_name loosely to the script-related operations, but it does not need to compensate because the schema is already detailed.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly names the resource (robot models) and enumerates 11 concrete operations, so an agent can see this tool handles model create/import/export/convert/spz/script workflows. It is not vague or tautological, but it never explicitly distinguishes itself from sibling tools such as robot_control or robot_behavior, which prevents a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines3/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The operation bullets provide a usable map of what this tool can do, so an agent can infer relevant contexts such as 'import robot model' or 'convert .spz'. However, the description gives no when-not-to-use guidance, no explicit alternatives, and no direction to prefer a sibling tool for related but non-model operations.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
