Best for
- 3D artists who want real-time LLM-driven scene control in Blender
- Developers and hobbyists driving Blender via natural language
- Users needing an LLM-agnostic integration (GPT, Claude, local models)

Blender MCP Server
Community
Let any LLM control Blender 3D scenes in real time via structured JSON commands
GitHub source repository ↗
37FMRS · D
An MIT-licensed community MCP server that bridges LLMs and Blender via a JSON-over-TCP protocol, offering real-time scene control and LLM-agnostic compatibility. The README does not enumerate specific tools or provide a client config example, so some details require checking its online documentation. Well suited for natural-language Blender workflows; not suitable for those needing official support or non-Blender pipelines.
Blender MCP is a plug-and-play Model Context Protocol server that lets any Large Language Model (GPT, Claude, or even local models) interact with Blender in real time using structured JSON commands over a TCP socket, enabling natural language control of 3D scenes. Maintained by pranav-deshmukh under the MIT License, it is a community project and not an official Blender product.
Setup
- Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/pranav-deshmukh/blender-mcp.git and cd into it; 2. Install dependencies: pnpm install; 3. Start the MCP server: node index.js. Docs and demo at https://blender-mcp-studio.vercel.app/.
Fit and risk
Not for
- Users who do not work with Blender
- Those seeking an officially supported Blender tool (this is community-built)
- Users who need a GUI-driven workflow rather than command-based control
Required permissions
- Requires network/socket access to send JSON commands over TCP
- Requires read/write control over Blender scenes and objects
Risks and side effects
- LLM-generated commands may unintentionally modify or damage the current Blender scene
- TCP socket communication could be exposed on the local network if not secured
- The README does not document authentication, so security hardening must be assessed independently
Troubleshooting
- Verify all dependencies were installed with pnpm install
- Check that node index.js starts the server without errors
- Confirm Blender is running and its connection settings match the TCP socket configuration
- Consult the usage docs at https://blender-mcp-studio.vercel.app/
