 "title": "Inspect a Blender scene before the AI changes it",
 "page_title": "How to inspect a Blender scene before the AI changes it with MCP for Blender Pro",
 "summary": "Ask the built-in assistant to explain a scene's object structure before any edits are made.",
 "who": "A 3D artist who inherits a complex .blend file from a teammate and needs to understand it before changing anything.",
 "problem": "Opening an unfamiliar scene and working out its object hierarchy, names and layout by hand takes time, and a careless edit can break it.",
 "outcome": "A plain-language description of the scene's objects and structure, produced by the assistant without any changes to the file.",
 "steps": [
  "Download MCP for Blender Pro.zip from Releases.",
  "In Blender, open Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions → menu → Install from Disk, select the ZIP and enable MCP for Blender Pro.",
  "Open 3D Viewport → N → MCP Pro, choose a provider, add your connection details and select a model.",
  "Send this message in Blender: Inspect this scene and explain its object structure before making any changes.",
  "Read the explanation in the conversation and confirm the scene is unchanged."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the mcp-for-blender-pro add-on in Blender, ask the built-in assistant to inspect <scene name> and explain its object structure without making changes. Expected output: a written summary of objects, hierarchy and layout. Verify that no objects were added, moved or deleted by comparing the object list before and after.",

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "45 minutes",

 "caveat": "The assistant needs a working provider connection, and the README only lists Blender 4.2 or later with a Windows x64 release bundle, so other setups may need extra work.",

  "An account or API key for a supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, OpenCode Zen, Ollama or a custom API)"
