## How to explain a Blender scene before changing anything with Blender AI MCP Addon

Repo: [anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon](https://github.com/anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Ask the assistant to read object structure and describe a scene before any edits are made.

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

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

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

### 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 to paste into your agent

```text
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.

## How to build a product display scene from a short brief with Blender AI MCP Addon

Repo: [anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon](https://github.com/anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Turn a written layout brief into a pedestal, camera, lights and matte material in Blender.

**Who it is for:** A product designer or small studio artist who needs a quick display mockup for a client review.

**The problem:** Setting up a basic product stage by hand means many repeated steps for primitives, lights, camera and materials.

**The outcome:** A simple product-display scene with a pedestal, camera, three lights and a matte blue material, checked in the viewport preview.

### Steps

1. Install and enable mcp-for-blender-pro in Blender, then open 3D Viewport, N, MCP Pro.
2. Select a provider and model that support tool calling.
3. Open Studio Window to see the chat, scene objects and viewport snapshots side by side.
4. Send this message: Create a simple product-display scene with a pedestal, a camera and three lights. Give the pedestal a matte blue material.
5. Check the viewport preview, then ask for corrections in the same conversation.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the mcp-for-blender-pro add-on in Blender, build a product-display scene with a pedestal, one camera and three lights using the add_cube, add_cylinder, add_camera, add_light and set_material tools. Return the list of created object names. Verify with viewport_screenshot that the pedestal has the matte blue material.
```

### Caveat

Results depend on the model you pick, so use a model with tool-calling support and expect to refine the output.

## How to run a manager, worker and reviewer team on a scene task with Blender AI MCP Addon

Repo: [anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon](https://github.com/anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon) | Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 60 minutes | Basis: From the README

Split a larger Blender task across a manager, workers and reviewers with ordered steps.

**Who it is for:** A technical artist who wants larger scene changes checked before they are accepted.

**The problem:** A single assistant can make many edits in one pass, which is hard to verify and easy to lose track of.

**The outcome:** A sequential run where assignments, attempts and review findings appear on the task board, and approved work is kept.

### Steps

1. Install and enable mcp-for-blender-pro in Blender.
2. In the Studio window, switch from Single assistant to a Team chain.
3. Assign a manager, one or more workers and reviewers, each with instructions and a model.
4. Send the task, then watch the task board for assignments, attempts and review findings.
5. Accept the approved result, or review the findings if a second review fails and the workflow stops.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the mcp-for-blender-pro team chain in Blender, run a manager, worker and reviewer workflow to <describe the scene change>. Expect a final summary listing each assignment, its attempt count and the reviewer's approval or findings. Verify that the task board shows tasks completed in order and that no task was left in a blocked state.
```

### Caveat

Each team member can use a different model, which raises cost and makes results harder to reproduce, so keep the team small at first.

## How to search Poly Haven or Sketchfab and import a chosen asset with Blender AI MCP Addon

Repo: [anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon](https://github.com/anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README

Let the assistant find a matching asset, ask before importing, and follow its license.

**Who it is for:** A 3D artist who needs a prop or texture for a scene and wants to avoid manual downloads.

**The problem:** Searching several asset libraries and checking licenses by hand takes time away from the scene itself.

**The outcome:** A short list of matching assets from the supported services, with one imported only after you approve it.

### Steps

1. Install and enable mcp-for-blender-pro in Blender.
2. Add the service key for Poly Haven, Sketchfab or Poly Pizza in the connection settings.
3. Send this message: Find an appropriate Poly Haven asset for this scene and ask before importing it.
4. Review the search results and the license shown for each asset.
5. Approve the one you want, then check the imported asset in the viewport.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Using the mcp-for-blender-pro add-on, search Poly Haven, Sketchfab or Poly Pizza for <asset description> with the search_assets tool. Ask for approval before calling import_asset. Return the asset name, source and license for each result. Verify the license permits your intended use before importing.
```

### Caveat

The README says to follow the licenses of the assets you use, so confirm each asset's terms before it goes into client or commercial work.

Risk, credentials: Service keys are stored in your user settings, so use keys you are allowed to use and keep your Blender profile private.

Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test.

## How to control Blender from an external MCP client with Blender AI MCP Addon

Repo: [anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon](https://github.com/anujasid/blender-ai-mcp-addon) | Difficulty: Advanced | Time: 45 minutes | Basis: From the README

Connect an MCP client to Blender's authenticated local endpoint and run scene tools from it.

**Who it is for:** A developer or technical artist who wants to script Blender from an AI tool they already use.

**The problem:** Manually switching between a coding tool and Blender for repeated scene operations breaks the flow of work.

**The outcome:** An external MCP client that lists the Blender tools and runs scene operations through the local endpoint.

### Steps

1. Install and enable mcp-for-blender-pro in Blender and keep Blender open.
2. Open the connection guide at docs/CONNECTIONS.md to get the local endpoint and its authentication details.
3. Launch OpenCode Portable from the sidebar, or add the endpoint to your MCP client using the connection guide.
4. Ask the client to list the available Blender tools, then run a read-only call such as get_scene_info.
5. Confirm the result appears in Blender before running any editing tool.

### Prompt to paste into your agent

```text
Connect to the authenticated local Streamable HTTP MCP endpoint of the mcp-for-blender-pro add-on, following docs/CONNECTIONS.md. Call get_scene_info on <target .blend file> and return the scene summary. Verify the call succeeds with Blender open and that no object changed.
```

### Caveat

External MCP clients manage their own approval policies, so the built-in approval prompts in Blender may not apply to them.

Risk, remote script: The execute_code tool runs Python inside Blender, and the README says Python tool validation is not a security sandbox, so only connect clients you trust.

Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test.
