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.

Credentials. Provider connection details are stored in your user settings, so keep your API keys private and use a key you can revoke.

Who it is forA 3D artist or product designer who needs a quick product-display layout and wants to iterate on it in chat without writing scripts.

The problemSetting up a basic display scene by hand (pedestal, camera, lights, material) takes repeated clicks for every iteration.

The outcomeA display scene in the open Blender file, built from the brief, with the assistant's actions visible in the conversation and the result visible in the viewport.

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 and API key or connection details for at least one supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, OpenCode Zen, Ollama or a custom API)
  • Blender kept open while using Studio or an external client

Steps

  1. Download mcp-for-blender-pro.zip from the Releases page and install it in Blender via Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions → menu → Install from Disk.
  2. Enable mcp-for-blender-pro, then open 3D Viewport → N → MCP Pro.
  3. Choose a provider, add your connection details and select a model with tool-calling support.
  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 and the action log in the conversation, then ask for changes in the same chat.

Prompt for your agent

Using the mcp-for-blender-pro repo, connect Blender to a chosen provider and ask the assistant to create a product-display scene with a pedestal, a camera and three lights. Report the list of objects created and confirm with viewport_screenshot or get_scene_info that the pedestal has a blue material.

Caveat. The README lists the built-in chat and the release bundle for Windows x64 with Blender 4.2 or later, so other platforms may need a different setup that the README does not cover.
