\n

A lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Blender. It offers a natural language interface with Blender’s Python API, improving access to documentation, and allowing users to explore and understand complex setups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For technical details and documentation about the architecture check the source code<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security Warning<\/strong>
The MCP server will execute LLM generated code in Blender without any guards in place to protect your data from removal or being sent to a remote location. To keep your data safe it is recommended to use a virtual machine, or a system without access to sensitive information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
