MCP server integration for AI-assisted Blender automation.

Layered Tool Architecture

Blender MCP uses a four-layer tool architecture with 26 specialized tools organized by intent:

Layer	Tool Count	Purpose
Perception	11 tools	Read Blender state deeply with controllable granularity
Declarative Write	3 tools	Node editor (6 contexts) + Animation + VSE Sequencer
Imperative Write	9 tools	Object/Material/Modifier/UV/Constraint/Physics/Scene
Fallback	3 tools	execute_operator + execute_script + import_export

Perception Layer (11 tools):

Tool	Description
blender_get_objects	List/scene objects with filters
blender_get_object_data	Deep object data (12 include options)
blender_get_node_tree	Read any node tree (6 contexts)
blender_get_animation_data	Keyframes/NLA/drivers/shape keys
blender_get_materials	Material asset list
blender_get_scene	Scene-level global info
blender_get_collections	Collection hierarchy tree
blender_get_armature_data	Armature/bone hierarchy/constraints/poses
blender_get_images	Texture/image asset list
blender_capture_viewport	Viewport screenshot
blender_get_selection	Current selection/mode/active object

Declarative Write Layer (3 tools):

Tool	Description
blender_edit_nodes	Edit any node tree (add/remove/connect/disconnect/set_value) ⭐ Core
blender_edit_animation	Edit animation (keyframe/NLA/driver/shape_key/frame_range)
blender_edit_sequencer	Edit VSE video sequence (strip/transition/effect)

Imperative Write Layer (9 tools):

Tool	Description
blender_create_object	Create scene objects (MESH/LIGHT/CAMERA/CURVE/EMPTY/ARMATURE/TEXT)
blender_modify_object	Transform/parent/visibility/rename/delete
blender_manage_material	Material create/PBR edit/assign/duplicate/delete
blender_manage_modifier	Modifier add/configure/apply/delete/reorder
blender_manage_collection	Collection create/delete/object link/hierarchy/visibility
blender_manage_uv	UV unwrap/seam/pack/layer management
blender_manage_constraints	Object/bone constraint add/configure/delete
blender_manage_physics	Physics simulation add/configure/bake
blender_setup_scene	Render engine/world environment/timeline config

Fallback Layer (3 tools):

Tool	Description
blender_execute_operator	Execute any bpy.ops.* operator
blender_execute_script	Execute arbitrary Python code (⚠️ use with caution)
blender_import_export	Import/export asset files (FBX/OBJ/GLTF/USD/Alembic/STL/etc.)

Note: All tools use blender_ prefix to avoid conflicts in multi-server environments. Tool names follow MCP specification with underscores. Payload wrapper is removed - all parameters are exposed directly as top-level inputSchema properties.

Tool Naming: All tools use the blender_ prefix to avoid conflicts in multi-server environments.

Quick Start

New to Blender MCP? See the 5-Minute Quick Start Guide for step-by-step setup instructions.

// Create a cube
{
  "name": "MyCube",
  "object_type": "MESH",
  "primitive": "cube",
  "size": 2.0
}

// Move it
{
  "name": "MyCube",
  "location": [1, 2, 3]
}

// Add a subdivision modifier
{
  "action": "add",
  "object_name": "MyCube",
  "modifier_name": "Subdivision",
  "modifier_type": "SUBSURF",
  "settings": {"levels": 2}
}

// Read object data
{
  "name": "MyCube",
  "include": ["summary", "modifiers"]
}

// Capture viewport
{
  "shading": "SOLID",
  "format": "PNG"
}

用于 AI 辅助 Blender 自动化的 MCP 服务器集成。

分层工具架构

Blender MCP 采用四层工具架构，26 个专用工具按意图组织：

层级	工具数量	用途
感知层	11 个工具	以可控粒度深度读取 Blender 状态
声明式写入层	3 个工具	节点编辑器（6种上下文）+ 动画 + VSE 序列编辑器
命令式写入层	9 个工具	对象/材质/修改器/UV/约束/物理/场景
后备层	3 个工具	execute_operator + execute_script + import_export

感知层（11 个工具）：

工具	描述
blender_get_objects	列出/筛选场景对象
blender_get_object_data	单对象深度数据（12 种 include 选项）
blender_get_node_tree	读取任意节点树（6 种上下文）
blender_get_animation_data	关键帧/NLA/驱动器/形态键
blender_get_materials	材质资产列表
blender_get_scene	场景级全局信息
blender_get_collections	集合层级树
blender_get_armature_data	骨架/骨骼层级/约束/姿态
blender_get_images	纹理/图片资产列表
blender_capture_viewport	视口截图
blender_get_selection	当前选择/模式/活动对象

声明式写入层（3 个工具）：

工具	描述
blender_edit_nodes	编辑任意节点树（添加/移除/连接/断开/设置值）⭐ 核心
blender_edit_animation	编辑动画（关键帧/NLA/驱动器/形态键/帧范围）
blender_edit_sequencer	编辑 VSE 视频序列（片段/转场/特效）

命令式写入层（9 个工具）：

工具	描述
blender_create_object	创建场景对象（MESH/LIGHT/CAMERA/CURVE/EMPTY/ARMATURE/TEXT）
blender_modify_object	变换/父子/可见性/重命名/删除
blender_manage_material	材质创建/PBR 编辑/赋予/复制/删除
blender_manage_modifier	修改器添加/配置/应用/删除/排序
blender_manage_collection	集合创建/删除/对象链接/层级/可见性
blender_manage_uv	UV 展开/缝合线/打包/图层管理
blender_manage_constraints	对象/骨骼约束添加/配置/删除
blender_manage_physics	物理模拟添加/配置/烘焙
blender_setup_scene	渲染引擎/世界环境/时间线配置

后备层（3 个工具）：

blender_execute_operator	执行任意 bpy.ops.* 操作符
blender_execute_script	执行任意 Python 代码（⚠️ 谨慎使用）
blender_import_export	导入/导出资产文件（FBX/OBJ/GLTF/USD/Alembic/STL 等）

注意: 所有工具使用 blender_ 前缀以避免多服务器环境下的命名冲突。工具名称符合 MCP 规范使用下划线。Payload 包装层已移除 - 所有参数直接暴露为顶层 inputSchema 属性。

工具命名: 所有工具使用 blender_ 前缀以避免多服务器环境下的命名冲突。
