Blender MCP
A Blender MCP server for cloud render and AI tools.
Loopcut's MCP server lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any agent running Blender render on an RTX 4090, find free assets, and make images, 3D models, character motion, voice lines and sound effects. It doesn't control your open Blender window, so it works next to the MCP servers that do.
/plugin install loopcut --marketplace loopcut-ai/loopcutWhich one
Three different jobs.
Blender MCP servers don't all do the same thing. Pick by what you need the agent to do, or use more than one.
Edit the scene in your open Blender
MCP for Blender or the Blender Lab MCP server
The model runs Python in the Blender you have open and looks at the viewport. The Blender Lab server is the one behind Claude's Blender connector.
Render and generate from your agent
Loopcut MCP server
The agent renders a saved .blend on an RTX 4090, finds free assets, and makes images, 3D models, character motion, voice lines and sound effects. No Blender window needed, so it works for headless agents and CI.
An agent inside Blender itself
The Loopcut app
A Blender build with the agent built in. It reads the scene and shows the Python before it runs, inside the Blender you work in.
What each Blender MCP does
Loopcut's MCP server next to the two that control your open Blender.

| Needs Blender open with its add-on | No. It packs the saved file with any Blender, headless. The hosted server needs no Blender at all | Yes | Yes |
| Runs code in your open scene | No. The Loopcut app does that | Yes | Yes |
| Looks at your viewport | No | Yes | Yes |
| Works for headless agents and CI, with no Blender window | Yes | No | No |
| Where it renders | In the cloud, on an RTX 4090 (Cycles or EEVEE) | In your Blender, on your machine | In your Blender, on your machine |
| Free asset search | Poly Haven, ambientCG and Physically Based | Poly Haven; Sketchfab and Poly Pizza with your own keys | No |
| 3D models from a picture or a prompt | Built in, paid in credits | Tripo, Hunyuan3D, Rodin or Meshy, with your own keys or its Premium plan | No |
| Images from a prompt, and image edits | Yes | No | No |
| Cloud remesh to clean quads | Yes | No | No |
| Character motion from text or a video | Yes | No tool. The model writes animation Python itself | No |
| Voice lines and sound effects | Yes | No | No |
| Hosted server for the Claude and ChatGPT apps | Yes | No | No |
| What you pay | Free to install. Cloud jobs use Loopcut credits; the free plan adds 100 a month | Free. Optional paid plans for 3D generation | Free |
| Made by | Loopcut (us) | Siddharth Ahuja and contributors | The Blender developers |
| Open source | GPL-3.0 | MIT | GPL-3.0 |
From each project's public docs, checked 22 October 2026. MCP for Blender is the open-source add-on by Siddharth Ahuja; the Blender Lab MCP server is built by the Blender developers and used by Claude's Blender connector. Both run code in your open scene, so save your work first. They change often: if a row is out of date, tell us.
Together
Edit with one, render with Loopcut.
The two kinds don't overlap, so an agent can use both in one job.
01
Build the scene
Your agent edits the open scene through MCP for Blender or the Blender Lab server, or writes it as a script for headless Blender.
02
Save the .blend
The Loopcut connector renders the saved file, packed by your Blender. Only new files upload.
03
Render in the cloud
Quotes are free, and a quote is the most the job can cost. The frames come back with a QA report that flags the ones to look at.
04
Bring the rest in
Images, 3D models, motion, voice lines and sound effects come back as files the agent imports the same way.
The tools
One sign-in, one credit balance.
Every paid tool quotes before it runs. Asset search is free.
Cloud render
$0.05 per GPU-minuteCycles or EEVEE on an RTX 4090, Blender 5.2. Up to 2,000 frames a job.
Image
$0.06 standard, $0.20 HD6 or 20 credits an image, for references and concepts. Editing an image costs the same.
Image to 3D model
$0.80 a model80 credits; a quick draft is 25.
Cloud remesh
From $0.05 a mesh5–60 credits depending on the mesh; you approve the most it can cost first. Free on your own machine.
Voice line
$0.10 per minute10 credits a minute of speech, rounded up per line, 1 credit minimum.
Sound effect
$0.04 a take4 credits up to 6 seconds, then 1 per extra 2 seconds.
Motion from video
$0.03 per second3 credits a second of video, rounded up, 2-second minimum, up to 60 seconds a clip, captured with NVIDIA GEM-X. Putting the motion on your rig happens in Blender, free.
Motion from text
$0.02 per second2 credits a second of motion, 2–10 seconds a clip, one free redo. NVIDIA Kimodo. Built with Meta Llama 3.
Asset search

What comes back
Questions
- What is a Blender MCP server?
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets an AI app or coding agent call tools. A Blender MCP server gives it tools for Blender. MCP for Blender (formerly Blender MCP) and the Blender Lab MCP server behind Claude's Blender connector control the Blender you have open. Loopcut's MCP server gives the agent cloud tools: render, asset search, images, 3D models, motion and audio.
- Does the Loopcut MCP server control my open Blender?
- No. It packs the saved .blend with your Blender, running headless, and renders it in the cloud. To edit the open scene, use MCP for Blender or the Blender Lab server alongside it, or the Loopcut app, which has its own agent inside Blender.
- Can my agent render without the Blender interface?
- Yes. The connector only needs a Blender install to pack the scene, and runs it headless. From CI, create an API key on your account page, set LOOPCUT_API_KEY, and run the CLI with a credit ceiling: a job starts only if its quote is under it.
- Which apps and agents does it work with?
- Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Desktop run it on your computer with uvx loopcut mcp. The Claude and ChatGPT apps connect to the hosted server at https://loopcut.org/mcp and sign in with a Loopcut account.
- What does it cost?
- Installing it is free. Cloud jobs are paid with Loopcut credits (1 credit = $0.01), quoted before they run. A render costs $0.05 per GPU-minute on an RTX 4090, with a one-minute minimum, and the free plan adds 100 credits every month.
- Is it open source?
- Yes. The connector is GPL-3.0-or-later, and its source is on GitHub with a Claude Code plugin and an agent skill.
