Meshy MCP Server: Generate 3D Models and Images From Your Assistant

OfficialLocal
Getnpm@meshy-ai/meshy-mcp-servermeshy-dev/meshy-mcp-server

Lets your assistant make 3D models, textures, animations and print-ready files with Meshy.

Meshy's own server lets Claude, Cursor and other assistants create 3D models from text or pictures, texture and rig them, and prepare files for 3D printing. It runs on your computer and talks to the Meshy API.

You need a Meshy API key, and the README says the API requires a Pro plan or above. Most generation tools spend credits from your Meshy balance, so ask the assistant to tell you the cost and wait for your approval before it runs.

Good for

  • 3D artists and game developers who want quick models and rigs
  • Makers who print figures, lamps and keychains from photos
  • Developers adding 3D generation to an agent

Install meshy-mcp-server

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the meshy-mcp-server server to Claude Code. Run this command:
    
    claude mcp add meshy -e MESHY_API_KEY=<MESHY_API_KEY> -- npx -y @meshy-ai/meshy-mcp-server
    
    Ask me for MESHY_API_KEY and only put the values in that config, nowhere else.
    
    Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js.

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.

Tools

  • Makes an untextured 3D model from a text prompt

    Creates a 3D preview from a description in about 2 to 3 minutes. It costs 20 credits on the newest models, and you texture it afterwards once you approve.

    Try: “Generate a 3D preview of a low-poly fox.”

    Write · meshy_text_to_3d

  • Adds textures to a text-to-3D preview

    Textures a preview that has finished. It costs 10 credits, or 15 at 8K, so the assistant should ask you first.

    Try: “Texture the fox preview with a red fur look.”

    Write · meshy_text_to_3d_refine

  • Turns one picture into a 3D model

    Builds a model from a single image, textured by default. On the newest models it costs 20 credits for a bare mesh and 30 textured.

    Try: “Make a 3D model from this product photo.”

    Write · meshy_image_to_3d

  • Turns 1 to 4 pictures of an object into a 3D model

    Uses several views of the same object for a better reconstruction, textured by default, at the same credit cost as a single image.

    Try: “Build a 3D model from these front, side and back photos.”

    Write · meshy_multi_image_to_3d

  • Makes a 2D image from text

    Generates a picture, for example a design to approve before going to 3D. It takes about 30 seconds and costs 3 to 12 credits depending on the image model.

    Try: “Draw a concept image of a robot mascot.”

    Write · meshy_text_to_image

  • Edits or restyles an image from a prompt

    Changes an existing image using a text instruction and one reference source. It costs the same credits as text to image.

    Try: “Restyle this sketch as a clay render.”

    Write · meshy_image_to_image

  • Turns a photo into a print-ready product model

    Takes a photo and builds a finished product model such as a figure, lamp or keychain from start to finish. Each product costs credits, from 6 up to 62, so confirm before it runs.

    Try: “Turn this photo into a keychain with the name Sam.”

    Write · meshy_creative_lab

  • Changes a model's polygon count or layout

    Remeshes an existing model for 5 credits. For a format change alone the convert tool is cheaper.

    Try: “Remesh the fox to 5,000 faces.”

    Write · meshy_remesh

  • Gives a model new AI textures

    Applies a new texture from a text style or a reference image for 10 credits, or 15 at 8K.

    Try: “Retexture the fox as rusty metal.”

    Write · meshy_retexture

  • Adds a skeleton to a humanoid model

    Auto-rigs a textured humanoid for 5 credits and returns free walking and running animations as separate files.

    Try: “Rig the knight model.”

    Write · meshy_rig

  • Applies an animation to a rigged character

    Animates a rigged model for 3 credits per action, using an action from the animation library or a motion clip.

    Try: “Make the knight do a victory dance.”

    Write · meshy_animate

  • Creates a motion clip from a description

    Generates a motion clip from text for 10 credits (prime) or 3 credits (swift), then you can apply it to a rigged character.

    Try: “Create a motion of a character waving.”

    Write · meshy_text_to_motion

High risk

The assistant can spend your Meshy credits on every generation, rigging and print-prep call, and it can cancel or delete tasks. Ask it to state the credit cost and wait for your OK before each paid action.

What it can do

  • Read your data
  • Create and change things
  • Delete things
  • Read-only mode

Watch out for

  • It spends your Meshy credits

    Most tools charge credits, for example 20 to 30 for a model, 36 or more for a Creative Lab product and up to 62 for a keycap. Ask for the cost first and watch your balance. github.com

  • It can cancel and delete tasks

    meshy_cancel_task cancels a queued task, which can refund credits, or deletes a finished one. Check what the assistant is about to remove. github.com

  • It writes files to your computer

    meshy_download_model saves outputs under a meshy_output folder or a path you give. Pick the folder yourself. github.com

  • Your photos and prompts go to Meshy

    Images and prompts you use are sent to the Meshy API for processing. github.com

Questions

Is the Meshy MCP server official?

Yes. Meshy publishes it under its own organization and it connects to the Meshy API.

Do I need a paid Meshy plan?

The README says the API key requires a Pro plan or above. Each tool call then spends credits from your balance.

How much does a 3D model cost?

On the newest models, a text-to-3D preview costs 20 credits, texturing it costs 10, and image-to-3D costs 20 for a bare mesh or 30 textured. Other tools cost 1 to 62 credits per the README.

Can I check my credits from the assistant?

Yes. The balance tool is free, and a usage tool lists spend per finished task for Studio and Enterprise teams.

Can I use it for 3D printing?

Yes. It can check a model for printability, repair it, make a multi-color 3MF, split it into parts and find your installed slicers. Repair and multi-color cost 10 credits each.

Does it need an API key?

Yes. Get a key from your Meshy account. It starts with msy_ and goes in the MESHY_API_KEY setting of your MCP config.

How do I add it to Claude Desktop or Cursor?

Use the install box above and put your API key in the placeholder. Restart the app so it loads the tools.
