Authorization notice. Blender AI MCP Addon is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA 3D artist who inherited a .blend file from a colleague and needs to understand it before editing.

The problemUnfamiliar scenes with many objects are slow to read through the outliner, and a wrong edit can damage work.

The outcomeA plain-language description of the scene's object structure, produced without any changes to the file.

What you need first

  • Blender 4.2 or later; the release bundle targets Windows x64
  • The mcp-for-blender-pro.zip file from the GitHub Releases page
  • An account and API key for a supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, OpenCode Zen), or a local Ollama install, or a compatible custom endpoint
  • Service keys for Poly Haven, Sketchfab or Poly Pizza if you want asset search and import

Steps

  1. Download mcp-for-blender-pro.zip from the Releases page.
  2. In Blender, open Edit, then Preferences, then Get Extensions, then the menu, then Install from Disk, and select the ZIP.
  3. Enable mcp-for-blender-pro, then open 3D Viewport, N, MCP Pro.
  4. Choose a provider, add your connection details and select a model.
  5. Send this message: Inspect this scene and explain its object structure before making any changes.

Prompt for your agent

Using the mcp-for-blender-pro add-on running in Blender, call the scene inspection tools (get_scene_info, list_objects, get_object_info) on <scene name or file>. Return a plain-language summary of the object hierarchy and parent relationships. Verify that no object was created, moved, or deleted during the run.

Caveat. Cloud providers receive scene information through the assistant, so check what your scene contains before connecting a hosted model.
