# AI use cases for Blender AI MCP Addon (LiCinCan/blender-ai-mcp-addon) Repo: [LiCinCan/blender-ai-mcp-addon](https://github.com/LiCinCan/blender-ai-mcp-addon) | Use cases: 5 | Page: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/licincan-blender-ai-mcp-addon/ An AI assistant add-on for Blender that inspects your scene, builds and edits objects, and runs multi-step workflows through a chat workspace and a built-in MCP server. This file holds every use case of this repo. Each one starts with a "## " heading and ends with its URL. - Build a product-display scene from a text brief: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/licincan-blender-ai-mcp-addon/build-product-display-scene-from-brief/ - Get a scene structure review before any edits: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/licincan-blender-ai-mcp-addon/inspect-scene-before-changes/ - Split a large Blender task across an agent team: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/licincan-blender-ai-mcp-addon/run-manager-worker-reviewer-team/ - Control Blender from OpenCode or another MCP client: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/licincan-blender-ai-mcp-addon/drive-blender-from-opencode-or-mcp-client/ - Find and import a Poly Haven asset after approval: https://dedupedai.com/use-cases/licincan-blender-ai-mcp-addon/import-poly-haven-asset-with-approval/ ## How to build a product-display scene from a text brief with Blender AI MCP Addon Repo: [LiCinCan/blender-ai-mcp-addon](https://github.com/LiCinCan/blender-ai-mcp-addon) | Difficulty: Intermediate | Time: 30 minutes | Basis: From the README Describe a product display in chat and let the assistant create the objects, camera, lights and material in Blender. **Who it is for:** A 3D artist or product designer who needs a quick product-display layout and wants to iterate on it in chat without writing scripts. **The problem:** Setting up a basic display scene by hand (pedestal, camera, lights, material) takes repeated clicks for every iteration. **The outcome:** A 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. ### 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 to paste into your agent ```text 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. Risk, credentials: Provider connection details are stored in your user settings, so keep your API keys private and use a key you can revoke. Dual-use notice: only use this on software, sites and systems you own or are authorized to test. Disclaimer: Third-party repos we don't own or vouch for. AI-generated use cases can be wrong: review everything and run at your own risk.

Install and enable mcp-for-blender-pro as described in the Install and create section of the README. 2. Open 3D Viewport → N → MCP Pro and select a provider and model. 3. Open the scene you want to review in Blender. 4. Send this message: Inspect this scene and explain its object structure before making any changes. 5. Read the explanation and the list of objects, then decide which edits to request in a separate message. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the mcp-for-blender-pro repo, ask the Blender assistant to inspect the open scene and explain its object structure without changing anything. Return the object hierarchy and material list, and verify that get_scene_info and list_objects were the tools used. ``` ### Caveat The README says Python tool validation is not a security sandbox, so review any file before relying on the assistant's reading of it.

Install and enable mcp-for-blender-pro and open the MCP Pro panel in the 3D Viewport sidebar. 2. Switch the mode from Single assistant to Team chain. 3. Configure the manager, workers and reviewers, giving each its responsibility, instructions and model. 4. Describe the full scene task to the manager and start the workflow. 5. Watch the task board for assignments, attempts and review findings, and read the final review before accepting the result. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the mcp-for-blender-pro repo, configure a Team chain with one manager, one worker and one reviewer, then give it the task . Return the task board summary with each assignment and its review result, and verify that the reviewer approved the final state of the scene. ``` ### Caveat The README says a second failed review stops the workflow, so plan for a manual fix when that happens, and the README does not describe a way to resume it automatically.

Install and enable mcp-for-blender-pro and keep Blender open. 2. Read the connection guide in docs/CONNECTIONS.md to find the authenticated local endpoint and its settings. 3. Launch OpenCode Portable from the sidebar to work through OpenCode with the Blender connection configured for you, or configure your MCP client with the endpoint from the connection guide. 4. Ask the client to list the scene objects with list_objects, then run a small change such as add_cube. 5. Use viewport_screenshot to confirm the change in Blender. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the mcp-for-blender-pro repo, connect an MCP client to the authenticated local endpoint in docs/CONNECTIONS.md and call list_objects, then add_cube with a name of . Return the tool responses, and verify with viewport_screenshot that the cube appears in Blender. ``` ### Caveat The README says external MCP clients manage their own approval policies, so Blender's chat approvals do not apply to calls made from them. Risk, remote script: The execute_code tool runs Python inside Blender when a connected client calls it, so only connect clients you trust and review their requests.

Install and enable mcp-for-blender-pro and open the MCP Pro panel. 2. Add the service key for Poly Haven in your connection settings if the integration requires one. 3. Send this message: Find an appropriate Poly Haven asset for this scene and ask before importing it. 4. Review the search results the assistant reports and approve or reject the import when asked. 5. Check the license of the imported asset before using it in your work. ### Prompt to paste into your agent ```text Using the mcp-for-blender-pro repo, ask the assistant to search Poly Haven for an asset matching using search_assets and ask for approval before calling import_asset. Return the asset name, its license and the import result, and verify that the asset was not imported before approval. ``` ### Caveat The README says to follow the licenses of the assets you use, and it does not describe the license terms for each source, so check them yourself. Risk, credentials: Service keys for asset integrations are stored in your user settings, so keep them private.
