Your Own AI

Blender

Scenes, the Python API, code, screenshots, renders

Blender Foundation (Blender Lab) · GPL 3.0 or later · free

The official Blender Lab MCP server. Analyze a scene and find what is slowing it down, search the Python API and manual, run code in Blender through your approve step, jump the viewport, take a screenshot, render a thumbnail.

Add to Your Own AI

"Add to Your Own AI" opens the app with this ready to add (the app must be installed). Or in the app: Add-ons › Tools › Blender › Add. Then give it to an AI under Tools.

What it needs

The app checks these for you and installs what it can with one click; the links are the manual route.

  • uv (runs the Python server) - install
  • git (fetches the server once) - install
  • Blender 5.1 or newer with the Blender Lab MCP add-on installed and enabled (blender.org/lab/mcp-server) - the app can install it for you once the tool is added. The add-on opens a local connection only when Blender's own "Allow Online Access" setting is on (Edit > Preferences > System); the app turns it on with your OK when it installs the add-on.
  • The app fetches the server (a few MB) from projects.blender.org/lab/blender_mcp into your home folder - only when you press Add.

How it runs

Started by the app as
uv --directory ~/blender_mcp/mcp run --with mcp[cli]<2 blender-mcp
Or as a local address
uv --directory ~/blender_mcp/mcp run --with "mcp[cli]<2" blender-mcp --transport http --port 9191
