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

Who it is forA product visualizer who needs a quick first layout for a client review and wants to skip the manual setup of primitives, lights and materials.

The problemBlocking out a simple display scene with a pedestal, camera, lights and material by hand is repetitive when the goal is only a first draft.

The outcomeA basic product-display scene in the viewport with a pedestal, a camera, three lights and a matte blue material on the pedestal, ready for refinement.

What you need first

  • Blender 4.2 or later (the release bundle targets Windows x64)
  • The mcp-for-blender-pro.zip file from the Releases page
  • An account or API key for a supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, OpenCode Zen, Ollama or a custom API)

Steps

  1. Install MCP for Blender Pro from MCP for Blender Pro.zip using Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions → menu → Install from Disk.
  2. Open 3D Viewport → N → MCP Pro, then choose a provider and select a model that supports tool calling.
  3. Click Open Studio Window to use the visual chat workspace.
  4. Send this prompt: Create a simple product-display scene with a pedestal, a camera and three lights. Give the pedestal a matte blue material.
  5. Follow the actions in the conversation and check the result in the viewport preview.

Prompt for your agent

Use the mcp-for-blender-pro assistant in Blender to build a product-display scene for <product name> with a pedestal, a camera, three lights and a matte blue pedestal material. Expected output: a viewport scene containing those objects. Verify by listing the scene objects and confirming the pedestal has the blue material.

Caveat. The README lists the object and material tools but does not describe output quality, so the first draft will likely need manual refinement in Blender.
