blender-mcp-ultra
The most complete MCP server for Blender — control Blender with natural language from any AI agent: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, opencode, Windsurf, Antigravity, LM Studio, Ollama and any Model Context Protocol (MCP) client.
239 tools · Windows / macOS / Linux · headless-ready · production-grade security

Scene above: 100% created and rendered by an AI agent through this MCP server — no manual modeling.
Gallery — what agents build with it
Every image above was generated end-to-end through MCP tools — scene setup, materials, lighting, camera framing, simulation and final Cycles render.
What is it?
blender-mcp-ultra connects Blender (the free open-source 3D suite) to LLM agents through the Model Context Protocol. Ask your AI assistant to model, texture, light, animate, simulate and render 3D scenes — it executes through 248 typed tools instead of fragile screenshot-guessing.
You: "Create a wooden table with a coffee mug on it and render it in Cycles"
Claude: → object.create, mesh ops, material PBR wood, light.three_point,
camera.set_framing, render.render → escena.png
Highlights
- 🧰 248 MCP tools (7 base + 241 registry, incl. built-in workflow guidance) — modeling, materials, shader nodes, geometry nodes, lighting, cameras, animation, physics, compositor, UV, rigging, 3D printing, export (FBX/OBJ/glTF/STL), batch, VLM visual feedback, multi-agent collab, scene planner
- 🖥️ Any MCP client — stdio (Claude Code/Desktop, Cursor, opencode, VS Code, Windsurf), SSE/HTTP (Antigravity, remote), REST
- 🧠 VLM feedback loop — the agent sees its renders (EEVEE headless capture) and iterates
- 🔒 Security-first — AST code blocklist validated in gateway and addon, mandatory auth token (auto-generated), localhost-only binding, rate limiting, 0 secrets in history (gitleaks)
- 🤖 Multi-provider — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, Ollama (local)
- 📦 Asset integrations — PolyHaven, Sketchfab, AmbientCG, Hyper3D
- 🚀 Headless CI — real E2E tests against Blender in GitHub Actions (Linux + Windows + macOS)
- 🧪 479 tests passed · ruff · bandit · pip-audit clean
Quick Start
1. Install the Blender addon
Download blender_mcp_ultra.zip → Blender → Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install… → enable blender-mcp-ultra → click Connect in the N-panel.
Or install from this repo (Blender 4.2+/5.x):
git clone https://github.com/carlosh7/blender-mcp.git
cd blender-mcp
pip install -e .
2. Connect your AI client
Install the gateway (provides the blender-mcp-server command). Startup order doesn't matter: all tools register even if Blender is closed and work as soon as you open it.
pip install blender-mcp-ultra
claude mcp add blender -- blender-mcp-server
# o, desde un checkout del repo:
claude mcp add blender -- python /ruta/a/blender-mcp/mcp_server.py

Security
Run trusted agents only — executing Blender Python on the agent's behalf is the product.

FAQ
Does it work with ChatGPT / Gemini? Any client that speaks MCP works. For providers without MCP support, the bundled REST API (:9877) accepts plain HTTP.
Does Blender need to be open? Yes for interactive work (it drives the real Blender). CI/headless render jobs run with blender -b — see docs/skills/headless_ci.md.
Is it safe? The agent can execute Blender Python — that's the product. Execution is sandboxed, validated by AST, rate-limited and bound to localhost with token auth. Run trusted agents only.
Blender versions? 4.2+ (LTS) and 5.x. Python 3.10+ for the gateway.
