Best Blender MCP Servers & Skills (2026) — MCP illustration

Best Blender MCP servers and skills for Claude, Codex and Cursor

Blender MCP connects an AI client to a running Blender session through the Model Context Protocol, so the model can read your scene and run Python through Blender’s API. This guide keeps MCP servers and skills apart: a skill only gives an agent written instructions.

Official vs community, and alternatives

Blender Lab publishes an official MCP server with a matching add-on. It needs Blender 5.1 or newer and is the server behind the Blender connector in Claude. Community MCP servers offer other tool sets and client support; read the server and add-on code before you install one. If you do not need a live session, a headless bpy script run with blender --background, or a computer-use agent, can be simpler.

Run it like untrusted code

The official server and most community servers run Python written by the model inside your Blender session. Blender recommends a virtual machine or a system without sensitive data. Save your file first and review generated code before it runs.

Tools to compare

  1. blender-mcp-bridge (seehiong/blender-mcp-bridge · MIT)

    A community MCP server plus Blender add-on that exposes a fixed set of named tools for modelling, materials, rendering and 3D-print checks, rather than a tool that runs any Python. Install the add-on zip in Blender, then start the server with uvx blender-mcp-bridge serve. The optional Studio assistant sends prompts to the AI provider you configure.

    Community project; not affiliated with or endorsed by the Blender Foundation. Source reviewed at commit e1cdb2c9380 on 19 Oct 2026.

    Needs: Blender 4.0 or newer and uv. The add-on and server listen on 0.0.0.0 by default; set BLENDER_ADDON_HOST=127.0.0.1 and MCP_BRIDGE_HOST=127.0.0.1 to keep them on your machine*

* Reviewed at the pinned commit: no tool that runs model-written code, no encoded payloads and no download-and-run steps were found. Listed ≠ audited. Read the add-on before installing it, and save your Blender file first.

FAQ

Is there an official Blender MCP server?

Yes. Blender Lab publishes an official MCP server and add-on. It requires Blender 5.1 or newer, and it is the server behind the Blender connector in Claude.

What is the best Blender MCP for Claude Code?

Start with the official Blender Lab server if you run Blender 5.1 or newer; Claude Code can connect to it as a local MCP server. Compare community servers when you need tools the official server does not offer, and check the Blender versions each one supports.

Does Blender MCP work with Codex?

Yes, when the server runs as a local MCP server: add it to the Codex MCP configuration and follow the server’s own setup steps. Blender skills that support Codex can be installed alongside it.

Is Blender MCP safe to use?

Treat it as running untrusted code. The official server and most community servers execute Python written by the model inside Blender, and Blender recommends a virtual machine or a system without sensitive data.

What are the alternatives to Blender MCP?

Choose between the official Blender Lab server and community servers, or skip MCP: a headless bpy script run with blender --background suits repeatable batch jobs, and a computer-use agent can operate the Blender interface without an add-on.
