blender-mcp-quickstart

blender-mcp-quickstart is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tattooinmtl/Minimax_Blender_MCP. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,508 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A quick-start guide for controlling Blender through a local MCP server. Blender is software for creating and rendering 3D scenes, while MCP is the connection used to send the agent commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for Blender scene work such as listing objects, reading object details, creating meshes or lights, adjusting scenes, and running Python when no dedicated operation is available.
Why use it?
It explains how to inspect the live Blender session and choose the right available operation before changing a scene.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

blender-mcp-quickstart scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Blender MCP — quick-start for the agent

You are driving Blender 5.2 LTS through the local MCP server bundled with this plugin. The server runs inside Blender itself (the add-on starts a local HTTP listener on 127.0.0.1:8765), so all operations happen against the user's live session — there is no separate Blender process for you to spawn.

First call: capability handshake

Before doing anything else, call get_addon_info. It returns:

  • the add-on's SemVer
  • the protocol version it speaks
  • the Blender version (string + tuple)
  • a sorted list of every tool the server exposes
  • the bundled Python version

If a tool you want isn't in the capabilities list, fall back to execute_python — but prefer the dedicated tool when available.

Tool index (in order of usefulness)

Tool When to use it
scene_info First read of any new session — frame, render engine, object counts, full object list.
list_objects Same as scene_info but filtered by type, with pagination.
get_object Full descriptor (transform, modifiers, materials, children).
create_object Build a mesh/empty/camera/light with optional initial transform + material.
delete_object Remove by name.
transform_object Set location/rotation/scale. Any field can be omitted.
set_material Principled BSDF on a material. Reuse via existing.
set_texture Apply an image file to a material input (base_color, roughness, normal, etc.).
add_modifier Whitelist: SUBSURF, MIRROR, SOLIDIFY, ARRAY, BEVEL, BOOLEAN, SHRINKWRAP, SMOOTH, DECIMATE, WIREFRAME.
remove_modifier By name or by type.
import_asset GLB / GLTF / FBX / OBJ / STL / PLY / DAE / USD / X3D / ABC.
frame_get / frame_set Timeline control.
render_image Full Cycles/Eevee render to a file. Slow.
screenshot_viewport Quick PNG of the 3D viewport. Cheap — use for iteration.
execute_python Anything the above can't do. AST-validated, with dangerous imports blocked.
ping Connectivity check.
get_addon_info Always call first.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
