What it does
MCP for Blender connects Blender, a free 3D design program, to AI assistants such as Claude, Codex or Cursor. You can then ask the AI to create objects, set up a scene or change what is already there, and it does the work inside Blender.
It uses MCP (Model Context Protocol), a standard way for AI assistants to control outside tools. A setup command finds the AI apps on your computer and installs the Blender add-on for you.
It is a community project and is not made by or affiliated with the Blender Foundation.
Who it's for
3D artists, hobbyists and designers who use Blender and want AI help with modelling.
