imagine describing a fantasy dungeon scene to a artificial intiligent and wachthing it materialize in Blender in real time with BlenderMCP , this looks like scince fiction but now it possible.

BlenderMCP Blender Model Context Protocol contects Blender to artificial intiligent models that allows to you create 3d modeling, objects manipluation scene creation like Kong Fu Panda animation.

  1. it also generate 3d models using Hyper3d Rodin
  2. Acess poliy haven's vast asset libray
  3. exicute python code within Blender
  4. analisis scences and suggest optimizations

NEW in v1.1.0: Turbocharged Creativity
The latest updates game-changing features: a. Poly Haven Intrigation - instantly import HDRi Skies, texures, and 3d assets example: "create a beach sence using tropical plams from poly haven" watch beach scence demo

b. Hyper3d Rodin suports -genearte 3d models via text to 3d artificial intiligent - example: "make a pokemon statue using hyper3d"

c. Streamline installation -simplified setup for new users -improve reliabity for exiting users

How its works

i. Blender addon: create a live connection to claude via local sever
ii. MCP Protocol: enables natural language <-> Blender command traslation
iii. Asset pipeline: Direct api acess to poly haven's 10,000+ CC0 assets

Getting started : 3-Mintue Setup

a. installation prerequisites To install Blender MCP, ensure you have: - Blender 3.0+ - python 3.10+ _ uv pakage mannger (esssential for running MCP)

install UV
For Mac

brew install uv

For windows:

powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Then add to the system path:

set path=c:\user\nntra\.local\bin;%path%

Caution

Don't proceed before intalling UV

setting up MCP in Claude

  1. open claude desktop
  2. Navigate to setting > Developer > Edits config
  3. add the floowing to claude_destop_config.json
{
  "mcpSever" : {
      "blender" : {
          "comand" : "uvx",
          "args" :[
              "blender-mcp"
          ]
      }
  }
}

installing Blender Addon

  1. Download the addon.py file
  2. open Blender
  3. Navigate to edit > Prerence > add-ons
  4. click instal... and seelect addon.py
  5. Enable the addon ( Cheecbox: "interface Blender MCP)

Blender MCP connecting to claude
1. Open blender and press N to acess the 3D view sidebar
2. Navigate to the BlenderMCP tab
3. Enables Poly Haven API(optinal)
4. click "connect to Claude"
5. Ensusre the MCP sever is running

Note

Now interact with blender using claude by 
using commands like: create a beatuifull 
scene like deerjeling moutain 
covers with beautifull pine tress

Tips

Start Small: "add a cube with a matalic texture" -> build complexity

References: Upload images for style matching

Combine Tools: Use Hyper3D for models + Poly Haven for enviroments

Safty Frist: Always save before code execution

Benifits Tradintional 3D workfolws require manual modeling, material setup, and lighting adjustment. Blender MCP can flips this by:

  1. Reducing repetitive task
  2. Enabling rapid prototyping
  3. Democratizing 3D creation for non experts
  4. Serving as a real time collaboration partner

imaging working with aartificial intiligent as partner thats not only listen to yours ideas but also bring your ideas to life instantly. this is no longer sceince-fiction. whether you're professional or just starting it's make process faster, easier, infinitly more fun. it's might seems like bit magical but its all possible
