MCP Blender Addon Lets AI Take the Wheel and Wield the Tools
1 min read
Summary
An add-on for Blender, the open-source 3D modelling software, enables users to harness the power of Anthropic’s Claude AI to create 3D models via the MCP (Model Context Protocol).
This framework facilitates meaningful interactions between AI systems, such as large language models, and other software, to achieve results.
While such experimental software interfaces have been created before, BlenderMCP leverages MCP to allow LLMs to use software tools and perform tasks with context and history, thereby enhancing their utility.
It also offers some standardised integration that could be adopted by other locally hosted LLMs, albeit with more limited functionality.
As the video above demonstrates, BlenderMCP can create a 3D environment from a reference image, and also uses assets from a 3D asset library to form a beach scene.
Such tools will likely become more widespread in the next generation of gaming, benefiting from AI-driven content and creation.
