What is Blender MCP Pro?
Blender MCP Pro is a paid MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to control Blender — the open-source 3D creation suite — through natural language. With 100+ tools across 16 categories, it covers everything from basic object manipulation to advanced geometry nodes, animation keyframes, shader node trees, and batch rendering. It is the most feature-complete MCP server available for Blender.
100+ tools across 16 categories
From basic scene management to advanced geometry nodes — every tool a 3D creator needs, accessible through natural language.
Full Modifier Stack
22 modifier types: Subdivision Surface, Bevel, Boolean, Array, Mirror, Decimate, Remesh, Solidify, Curve, Weld, and more. 6 tools.
Animation & Keyframes
Insert and delete keyframes, set interpolation (Bezier, Linear, Bounce), manage actions, NLA strips, and frame ranges. 12 tools.
Shader Node Trees
Full node tree control beyond Principled BSDF. Create Emission, Glass, Toon shaders. Connect nodes, set values, build custom materials. 10 tools.
Geometry Nodes
Actually build node networks — not just read status. Create modifiers, add nodes, connect sockets, expose parameters. 12 tools.
Camera Control
Create cameras, set lens type (Perspective/Ortho/Panoramic), focal length, DOF, auto-frame objects, track-to constraints. 7 tools.
UV & Texture Baking
7 unwrap methods (Smart Project, Angle Based, Lightmap Pack). Bake diffuse, roughness, normal, AO, shadow maps. 6 tools.

Create armatures and bones, manage vertex groups, set bone constraints, parent meshes to armatures. 8 tools.
Batch Processing
Multi-camera batch render, automated turntable animations, batch import/export for production pipelines. 5 tools.
Materials
Principled BSDF setup with the node duplication bug fixed. Create, assign, configure, and manage materials reliably. 7 tools.
Import / Export
Full format support: FBX, OBJ, glTF/GLB, USD, STL, DAE, PLY, SVG, Alembic. Import images as planes. 4 tools.
Asset Integrations
Poly Haven and Sketchfab — stabilized with proper error handling. Download and apply assets directly. 7 tools.

How to set up Blender MCP Pro
Install the Blender addon, configure your MCP client, and start creating. Takes about 3 minutes.
Install the Addon
Download the addon ZIP, install it in Blender via Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, and enable "Blender MCP Pro".
Start the Server
Open the N-panel in Blender's 3D Viewport, go to the BM Pro tab, and click Start Server. It listens on localhost:9877.
Configure MCP Client
Add the MCP server to your client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf) and start controlling Blender with natural language.
// claude_desktop_config.json

"mcpServers": {
"blender-mcp-pro": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["/path/to/blender-mcp-pro/server.py"]
}
}

Architecture
Two-component design: a Python MCP server that speaks the protocol, and a Blender addon that executes commands on the main thread via a Modal Operator.

What can you do with Blender MCP Pro?
Real examples of what AI can do when it has full control over Blender.
Studio Lighting in Seconds
"Set up three-point studio lighting on the cube, brushed metal material, bevel the edges, render at 1080p." — Executes create_three_point_lighting, set_principled_bsdf, add_modifier (BEVEL), and render_image in one conversation.
Animate a Bouncing Ball
"Animate a bouncing ball with squash and stretch, Bezier easing, settle by frame 65." — Inserts keyframes for location and scale, sets interpolation modes, all through natural language.
Procedural Geometry Nodes
"Build a procedural building facade with geometry nodes: 8 floors, distributed windows, parameterized floor count." — Creates GN modifier, adds and connects nodes, exposes parameters.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Blender MCP Pro.
What is Blender MCP Pro?
Blender MCP Pro is a paid MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf to control Blender with 100+ tools across 16 categories. It provides professional-grade control over lights, modifiers, animation, shader nodes, geometry nodes, camera, UV, rigging, and batch processing.
What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol by Anthropic that lets AI assistants interact with external tools and services. Blender MCP Pro implements this protocol to give AI direct control over Blender's full API through natural language commands.
How much does Blender MCP Pro cost?
Blender MCP Pro costs $5 per month with a 7-day free trial. You get full access to all 100+ tools during the trial. Cancel anytime — no questions asked.
Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender MCP Pro supports Blender 3.6 LTS and newer, including Blender 4.x. We test against the latest stable release and update promptly when new Blender versions are released.
What's the difference between Blender MCP Pro and the free blender-mcp?
The free ahujasid/blender-mcp is great pioneering work, but it lacks light control, modifiers, animation, shader node trees, camera control, UV tools, rigging, batch processing, and has several known bugs (material node duplication, viewport screenshot issues, connection instability). Blender MCP Pro fixes all known bugs and adds 9 entirely new tool categories with 100+ total tools.
Does it work with Cursor, Windsurf, and other AI tools?
Yes. Blender MCP Pro works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any other tool that supports the Model Context Protocol.
How do I install Blender MCP Pro?
Installation takes about 3 minutes: 1) Install the Blender addon via Edit > Preferences > Add-ons, 2) Start the server from the BM Pro panel in Blender's N-panel, 3) Add the MCP server to your AI client's config file. See the setup guide for details.
Is an internet connection required?
An internet connection is required for license verification at startup. After verification, the license is cached for 72 hours, so brief offline periods are fine. The Blender addon itself communicates with the MCP server over localhost only.
Can I cancel my subscription anytime?
Yes. You can cancel your subscription at any time through Stripe. You'll retain access until the end of your current billing period, and no further charges will be made.
What is your refund policy?
We offer a 7-day free trial so you can evaluate the product before being charged. If you experience technical issues that prevent the product from working, contact us within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund. See our refund policy for details.
What operating systems are supported?
Blender MCP Pro works on Windows, macOS, and Linux — any platform where Blender and Python are available. The MCP server is a Python script that runs alongside your AI client.
