mcp-for-blender: Build 3D scenes in Blender by chatting with an AI

Added · Updated

View profile on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

Ask an AI assistant to create, change and light 3D scenes inside Blender for you.

For people who make 3D art and want to model by describing it.

What it does

It has two parts. A Blender addon starts a small server inside Blender when you open it. An MCP server (MCP is a way to plug tools into an AI assistant) connects your AI app to that addon, so the AI can create, move and delete objects, change materials and colors, and write Blender Python directly. It can also take camera, wireframe and X-ray views and renders so the AI checks its own work, and pull assets from Poly Haven, Sketchfab and Poly Pizza.

How to use it

Input → action → output: you type a request in your AI app, such as a low-poly dungeon scene with a dragon guarding gold. The AI sends commands to Blender, and the objects, materials and lighting appear in your open Blender file, where you can keep editing by hand or ask for changes.

Common use cases

  • Describe a beach scene in chat and get a Blender scene lit with an HDRI and filled with rocks and plants from Poly Haven.
  • Give the AI a reference image and get a Blender scene built to match it, which you can then adjust yourself.
  • Ask the AI to recolor or rearrange objects in an existing Blender file and see the changes appear in the viewport.

Setup details on the source page

Requirements One setup command for macOS, Linux or Windows installs uv if needed, finds the AI apps on your computer, lets you pick which to connect, and installs and enables the Blender addon. It keeps your existing settings and saves a backup of each file it changes. Then restart your AI app and open Blender. The code is MIT licensed, an open source license.

Caveat The creators say complex requests may need to be broken into smaller steps. A separate premium option exists for generating AI 3D models without your own API keys; the self-hosted addon works on its own.

Worth knowing Run only one copy of the server, from one AI app at a time. The AI can run any Python code inside Blender, so the creators advise saving your work first. It is a third-party tool, not made by Blender.
