Model Context Protocol has been a sensation since the start of the month. I hope, by now, you might have seen the crazy video of how Blender (a highly sophisticated 3D graphics rendering software) gets controlled by Claude AI, that too for free.
Blender-MCP is not the only interesting MCP server you can integrate with your AI, but there are many.
Note: if you don’t know what MCP is, you can check this blog
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP servers help you connect AI to any software, whether it’s Blender, Docker, or WhatsApp and let AI take control of them, given just a single prompt.
Here is a list of my favourite MCP servers :
- Blender-MCP: A system that integrates Blender and MCP, consisting of a Blender addon and an MCP server. The Blender addon creates a socket server within Blender to receive and execute commands, while the MCP server connects to the Blender addon.
To use Blender MCP, you need to do a couple of steps:
Install the Blender software on your local system.
Change Claude AI’s config for the MCP servers,
install an add-on file and upload it to Blender.
Don’t worry, all the steps are shown in the tutorial below.

I even designed a room for using Blender MCP by just giving it a single prompt. I didn’t even touch Blender!

- GitHub-MCP: A MCP server that provides repository management, file operations, and GitHub API integration. The demonstration below shows how you can add GitHub MCP to Claude AI quite smoothly. For this, you just need to do two things:
Generate a Private Access Token for your GitHub profile
Change the config.json for Claude AI

- File System-MCP: A Go server implementing MCP for filesystem operations。 It allows you to read/write files, create/list/delete directories, move files/directories, search files, and get file metadata.
- Docker-MCP: A community-developed MCP server for managing containers, images, volumes, and networks. In the below tutorial I have demonstrated both file system MCP and docker MCP and how to use them using Claude AI.

- WhatsApp MCP: WhatsApp MCP is one of the most interesting MCP servers which helps you to send messages to your friends, load chats, load contacts, and do whatever else. Though the process is not as straightforward as compared to others, but is worth the wait. You need to do a number of steps to integrate WhatsApp MCP in your local system.

- Puppeteer-MCP: A MCP server that provides browser automation and web scraping capabilities. It can take control of a browser like Google Chrome or Firefox and can even buy stuff for you from Amazon. This is amazing. it can be taken as a free alternative for OpenAI’s operator or browser use from GitHub.

- SQLite-MCP: SQLite or Postgres Lite, etc, are all MCPs devoted to database connections for Claude AI. Using MCPs for these, you can now talk to your databases using AI.

These are some interesting MCPs that I’ve explored so far. I will be updating this blog as soon as I find something more.
One thing to note is that not just with Claude AI, you can even use MCP servers with local LLMs as well. How? Using Ollama.

And not just that, you can even create your own custom MCP servers. Yes, you heard it right. It is not necessary that you only use the ones that are available. You can even create your custom servers for any service you wish to have. How? Check the tutorial below.

So with this, it’s a wrap. I hope you check out these tutorials and get started with MCP servers. This is the future !!
