## What it is

A Blender addon opens a socket server, and an MCP server connects it to Claude, Codex, Cursor and others. The model controls objects and materials and downloads assets from Poly Haven, Sketchfab and Poly Pizza, or generates 3D models with Meshy, Hunyuan3D, Tripo and Hyper3D Rodin.

## What it’s for

For someone modeling in 3D who wants to describe a scene and watch it built in Blender, instead of creating object by object.

## Benefits

- Install with one command: uvx mcp-for-blender setup
- A tool that runs Python inside Blender
- Poly Haven needs no API key; the 3D generators need your own

## Caveats

- It is a community project, not affiliated with the Blender Foundation, and needs Blender 3.0+, Python 3.10+ and uv.
- The socket has no authentication and the tool runs arbitrary Python, so keep it on localhost and save your work first; anonymous telemetry is on by default.
