Use AI for generating 3D Graphics in Blender
2025 is taken as the year of AI agents. To make things easier, now MCP (Model Context Protocol) by Anthropic is gaining some traction. and what led to MCP’s internet sensation.

The answer is Blender MCP.
First of all, what is Blender?
Blender 3D is a free and open-source 3D creation software used for modelling, sculpting, animation, rendering, compositing, VFX, and game development. It’s a powerful tool that supports everything from simple 3D designs to Hollywood-level visual effects.
Data Science in Your Pocket – No Rocket Science
Why is Blender Used?
- 3D Modeling & Sculpting — Create detailed 3D objects and characters.
- Animation & Rigging — Make lifelike movements with advanced rigging tools.
- Rendering — Use Cycles or Eevee (real-time) render engines for high-quality visuals.
- VFX & Compositing — Add realistic effects like smoke, fire, and motion tracking.
- Game Development — Design assets for video games.
- Simulation — Work with physics, fluids, and soft body dynamics.
Who Uses Blender?
3D Artists & Animators — For films, commercials, and games.
Game Developers — To create assets and environments.
Architects & Designers — For 3D visualization and walkthroughs.
VFX Artists — To add special effects in movies.
Engineers & Scientists — For simulations and research visualization.
Hobbyists & Indie Creators — Since it’s free and community-driven.
Blender is widely used due to its powerful features, active community, and zero cost, making it a strong alternative to paid software like Maya or 3ds Max.
Can AI take control of Blender?
Hell yeah !
What is Blender MCP?
Blender MCP (Model Context Protocol) is like a bridge connecting Blender, the popular 3D modelling software, with Claude AI. This integration lets you create, tweak, and manage 3D models using simple text prompts. Imagine telling your computer, “Build me a medieval castle,” and watching it come to life in Blender. Cool, right?
And Blender-MCP is free to use
Check this demo where I designed a basic room using Claude AI

Why Should You Care?
- AI-Powered Modeling: Directly interact with Claude AI for instant 3D modifications.
- Seamless Asset Management: Access assets from platforms like Poly Haven for quick model generation.
- Advanced Material Control: Easily modify object textures and materials.
- Script Execution: Run Python scripts directly within Blender for customized operations.
Just integrate Blender MCP with Cloud AI and Blender software, and let Cloud AI take control of Blender software for you to design amazing stuff.
How does Blender-MCP work under the hood?
MCP is a new concept that was introduced by Anthropic last year. If you don’t know what is MCP, check out this blog.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
Now, let’s understand how Blender-MCP works under the hood :
- Establishing Communication — MCP sets up a two-way communication channel between Claude AI and Blender. This means Claude can send commands to Blender, and Blender can send information back.
- Sending Commands — When you input a text prompt into Claude AI, it translates your request into specific commands using MCP. For example, if you say, “Create a red cube,” Claude sends a command to Blender to generate a cube and apply a red material to it.
- Executing in Blender — Blender receives these commands through MCP and performs the necessary actions — like creating models, applying textures, or setting up scenes — just as if you were doing it manually.
- Feedback Loop — After executing the commands, Blender can send feedback or the results back to Claude AI via MCP. This allows for real-time updates and further modifications based on your inputs.
How to use Blender MCP?
It is a Github repo that you need to install alongside installing the cloud AI desktop app and blender software. All the steps have been mentioned in the previous video integrated into the blog.
Give Blender MCP a shot — it’s totally free and doesn’t require any pro subscription to Claude AI. It’s still a work in progress, but it’s already showing some awesome potential!
