Intro

Hello! I'm a Ninja Web Developer. Hi-Yah!🥷
I've been trying MCP of Cline and Cursor recently.

I would like to introduce my friend Ninja today.
Oh no, I didn't have any friend Ninja...
Then, let's make it with Blender MCP!🥳
Blender MCP allows AI to interact with and control Blender.
I will focus on how was MCP Blender actually working.
I will not write about details of Blender and details of MCP here.

How to use Blender MCP

Here is the GitHub of Blender MCP.↓
https://github.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp
1️⃣ Prerequisites.
1: Blender 3.0 or newer
2: Python 3.10 or newer
3: uv package manager:
to install uv on Windows

powershell -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex" 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and set path

set Path=C:\Users\nntra\.local\bin;%Path%
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2️⃣ Set Blendr MCP to Cursor and Cline
I was using Windows, so rewrote cline_mcp_settings.json for Cline and mcp.json for Cursor.
Rewrote from uvx to cmd /c uvx.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "uvx", "blender-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3️⃣ Set Blender Addon to Blender.
1: Download addon.py file from Blender MCP repo
https://github.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp
2: Blender > "Edit" > "Preferences" > "Add-ons" > "Install from disk..." > select addon.py
3: Select "BlenderMCP" tab and push "Start MCP Server"
(Check "Use assets from Poly Haven" and "Use Hyper3D Rodin 3D model..." if needed.)

4️⃣ OK! You are ready for BlenderMCP.🎉
5️⃣ I will follow up, if I learned more about Blender MCP.

How was Blender MCP?

First, I tried to make a "cat" without using Poly Haven and Hyper3d.
The output was this.↓🤣
Image description
Poly Haven is a public 3D asset library, and Hyper3d is an AI 3D model generator.
I checked the check box of both of it, and tried again.
AI searched Poly Haven first whether there is a 3D model, and there wasn't a model in Poly Haven, so next it used Hyper3d to make a model from text.
You can use Hyper3d trial API Key for this, and it looks like it has limits.
The output was this.↓

I learned that Blender MCP works well, so next I tried to make a "Ninja".
The output was this.↓
Image description
It didn’t have a color so, next I asked to make a black Ninja, and it worked.
Finally, I wanted to make a super cool Ninja world, so made a few Ninjas, Ninja House, Computer and Letters.
The output was this.↓
Image description
So cool Ninjas!👍
I asked to make the word "MCP", but the output was K?B?A?.🤣 Never mind.
