Blender

You can connect Blender with Claude AI using the Blender MCP Server. This setup lets Claude send commands to Blender to create and edit 3D scenes, manage objects and materials, inspect your scene, and even run Python code inside Blender. It enables prompt-driven 3D work with a live, two-way connection between Claude and Blender.

How to use

Start by ensuring the Blender MCP server is running and Claude is configured to connect to it. In Blender, enable the Blender MCP addon, then connect to Claude through the dedicated panel. When connected, you will see tools like a hammer icon that let you issue commands to create, modify, or inspect your scene, apply materials, and execute Python code inside Blender. Use practical prompts to guide Claude, such as asking it to create a low-poly dungeon scene, generate materials, or place a camera and lighting to match a given mood.

How to install

Prerequisites: install the UV package manager before proceeding.

Install the Blender addon and configure the MCP server as shown below.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "blender-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Additional configuration and usage notes

There are two local MCP command setups shown for different environments. Use the one that matches your operating system to ensure the MCP server runs correctly.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "blender-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting and tips

Ensure the Blender addon server is running and Claude is configured to use the correct MCP server entry. If a command initially fails, try again, as the first attempt may require a moment to establish the connection. If problems persist, restart both Blender and Claude and re-check the MCP server configuration.

Examples of what you can ask Claude to do

Create a low-poly dungeon scene with a dragon guarding a pot of gold, or generate a garden gnome model with a metallic finish. Request scene inspections, object creation, material application, or Python code execution inside Blender to automate tasks.
