Blender MCP servers: which one to use
Use Blender Lab's official server for a small, scene-inspection tool set from the Blender project. Use MCP for Blender for the most features and help online.

Blender Lab, part of the Blender project, publishes its own MCP server. It is small by design (26 tools, mostly scene summaries plus a Python tool) and needs Blender 5.1 or newer. The community MCP for Blender is far more popular and adds asset search and AI model generation, and it can check scripts before they run. Both of those can run Python inside your open Blender session, so save your work first and try it on a copy of the file.
Good for
- 3D artists who want Claude to build scenes, materials and lighting from a text prompt
- Technical artists who want an assistant to find slow objects and missing files in a scene
- Developers who need to convert or render 3D files without opening Blender
- People who want to use a local model such as Ollama instead of a cloud one
Which Blender MCP server to use
Use Blender Lab's official server if you want the Blender project's own tool for inspecting scenes. Pick MCP for Blender if you want the most features and community help, and three.ws Blender to convert or render files without opening Blender.

Questions
Is there an official Blender MCP server?
Yes. Blender Lab, the innovation space of the Blender project, publishes one. It needs Blender 5.1 or newer, a Blender add-on and an MCP client such as llama.cpp, and its page lists the setup steps.
Is MCP for Blender made by the Blender team?
No. Its README says it is a third-party integration and not made by Blender. It was formerly called blender-mcp, and its PyPI package is now mcp-for-blender.
Can an AI run code inside my Blender session?
Yes. The Blender Lab server runs LLM-written Python in Blender without guards, and its page advises using a virtual machine or a system without sensitive data. MCP for Blender runs any Python by default too, but you can set BLENDER_MCP_SAFE_MODE=1 to check scripts first.
Which Blender MCP server is the safest?
MCP for Blender is the only one here with a documented option to check scripts before they run. The three.ws Blender server runs Blender in the background on your files instead of in your open session. Work on a copy of your file either way.
Can I use a local model instead of Claude?
Yes. Blender Open MCP works with Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp and OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Blender Lab's page uses llama.cpp as its example client.
Does it work with Claude Desktop and Cursor?
MCP for Blender and the Blender MCP Bridge document Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Blender Lab's page names llama.cpp and also offers an .mcpb bundle for clients that support it. Use the install box on each server page.
Do I need to install anything in Blender?
Yes for every server that uses an open Blender session. You install a Blender add-on as well as the server. The three.ws Blender server needs no add-on, but needs Blender 3.0 or newer on your machine.
Can it generate 3D models from text?
MCP for Blender can, through services such as Meshy, Tripo, Hyper3D Rodin and Hunyuan3D, and it searches Poly Haven and Sketchfab for assets. Blender Lab's server is aimed at scene analysis and Python access.
Is it free?
The servers are free open source projects. MCP for Blender also sells a premium option for AI model generation without your own keys, and the AI model you connect may cost money.
