Blender FAQs

Question 1

What is the Blender MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

It's a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets you manage and execute Blender Python scripts in a headless environment. This enables automation and remote control of Blender tasks.

Question 2

How do I execute a script with a specific .blend file?

Accepted Answer

Use the `execute_script(name, blend_file='/path/to/your/project.blend')` command, replacing `/path/to/your/project.blend` with the actual path to your blend file.

Question 3

What are the main benefits of using this server?

Accepted Answer

It allows you to automate Blender tasks, run scripts remotely, track script execution results, and manage your Blender scripts efficiently, without needing a graphical user interface.

Question 4

What are the requirements to use the Blender MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

You need Python 3.7+, a Blender installation, and the `mcp` Python library (`pip install mcp`).  Blender must be accessible from your system's PATH.

Question 5

Where are the script files and execution results stored?

Accepted Answer

Scripts are stored in the `script_files/scripts` directory, and execution results are saved in the `script_files/results` directory. Metadata about scripts is tracked in `script_files/metadata.json`.
