You run a microservice that talks to Sketchfab via MCP, letting you search for downloadable models and download a model by UID through a simple MCP client workflow. This server keeps your Sketchfab API token separate from your client, enabling secure, automation-friendly model access.

How to use

You interact with this MCP server through an MCP client or tooling that speaks the Model Control Protocol. With the server running, you can perform two core actions: search for downloadable Sketchfab models and download a specific model using its UID. Provide your Sketchfab API token to authorize requests, and use the MCP client’s actions to request model data or initiate a download.

How to install

Prerequisites: you should have a working environment for running MCP servers and access to a terminal or shell. You will need the ability to run a local MCP command or a Docker container as an alternative.

Option A: Run the MCP server locally with the provided command. Replace PLACEHOLDER with your actual Sketchfab API token. Then you can connect your MCP client to this local server.

Running with Docker

If you prefer Docker, build and run the container with your token set as an environment variable.

docker build -t sketchfab-mcp .
docker run -it --rm -p 8000:8000 -e SKETCHFAB_API_TOKEN=PLACEHOLDER sketchfab-mcp
