BlenderMCP

Ask Claude for changes from Blender's sidebar, or connect any MCP client to the Blender you already have open.
Quickstart Chat inside Blender

BlenderMCP links the Blender on your desk to a hosted server at https://mcp.blender.bet/. Once they’re connected, Claude (or any other MCP client) can look at your scene, build and change objects, set up materials and cameras, and render, all in the Blender you’re watching. Several clients, and several people, can work on the same scene at once. Each account gets its own private connection, so nobody else sees your Blender.

Start here

Section titled “Start here”
Quickstart Install the add-on, log in, connect Claude, and watch it change your scene. About ten minutes.

The add-on installs from Blender’s own extension manager. Add https://mcp.blender.bet/install as a repository once, and Blender keeps it up to date from then on.

Two ways to work

Section titled “Two ways to work”

From your MCP client

Add https://mcp.blender.bet/ to Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, or another MCP client, then ask for what you want. The client calls tools that run inside your Blender and report back.

From the Chat panel

The Chat panel sits in the BlenderMCP sidebar tab, below the connection status. Type a request and the reply streams in while the assistant works. Before it runs Python, it shows the code with Allow and Deny.

On mcp.blender.bet, Chat answers with Claude Haiku 4.5 and can consult a stronger model when a request needs it, Claude Fable 5.1 unless you pick another under Preferences › Chat backend › Escalate to. Every change it makes to the scene is its own Ctrl+Z step, and Undo last chat change takes back everything from its last reply at once. The binder clip button next to the message field attaches your selection, what you see in the viewport, or a text block to the next message.

Section titled “Building your own client”

Everything an MCP client can do with your Blender is in the For developers section of the sidebar: the tool reference, authentication, the Chat protocol, and how the server, the add-on and clients fit together in Architecture.
