The BlenderMCP integration enables direct communication between Blender and Claude AI through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This powerful tool lets Claude interact with and control Blender, facilitating AI-assisted 3D modeling, scene creation, and manipulation through natural language commands.
Install uv according to your operating system:
Mac:
brew install uv
Windows:
powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
After installing on Windows, add uv to your user path (restart Claude Desktop afterwards if needed):
$localBin = "$env:USERPROFILE\.local\bin"
$userPath = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "User")
[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "$userPath;$localBin", "User")
For other systems, visit uv's installation documentation.
Configure the Blender connection with these environment variables:
export BLENDER_HOST='host.docker.internal' # default: "localhost"
export BLENDER_PORT=9876 # default: 9876
{
"mcpServers": {
"blender": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [

]
}
}
}
For Mac users:
.cursor/mcp.json for project-specific use){
"mcpServers": {
"blender": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"blender-mcp"
]
}
}
}
For Windows users:
{

"blender": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": [

]
}
}
}
Important: Only run one instance of the MCP server (either on Cursor or Claude Desktop), not both.
addon.py file from the repositoryaddon.py fileOnce configured, you'll see a hammer icon in Claude with tools for Blender MCP.
Here are some examples of what you can ask Claude to do:
Hyper3D's free trial key allows for a limited number of model generations per day. Once the limit is reached, you can wait for the next day's reset or obtain your own key from hyper3d.ai and fal.ai.
The system uses a JSON-based protocol over TCP sockets, with commands sent as JSON objects with a type and optional params, and responses as JSON objects with a status and result or message.
execute_blender_code tool runs arbitrary Python code in Blender, which can be powerful but potentially dangerous. Always save your work before using it.To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "blender" '{"command":"uvx","args":["blender-mcp"]}'See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"blender": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"blender-mcp"
]
}
}
}To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"blender": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"blender-mcp"
]
}
}
}3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
