Blender MCP setup

Use the Blender MCP tools exposed by the user's configured Blender setup to inspect and control Blender. Do not assume a particular MCP implementation, endpoint, port, operating system, or OVRTX runtime package.

When to Use

Use when a user is new to Blender MCP, asks to create or edit a scene through MCP, or reports that Blender tools cannot connect. This covers the Blender-side MCP connection only; OVRTX and OVPhysX runtime setup belongs to ovrtx-addon-install-and-preflight.

Prerequisites

• Blender 5.1 or newer is recommended for the OVRTX example.
• Blender is running with the user's Blender MCP add-on/server enabled.
• The agent has access to scene inspection, Blender-Python execution, and (when available) a viewport screenshot tool.

The MCP server and the OVRTX worker are separate services. A working MCP connection does not prove OVRTX is installed, and an OVRTX preflight failure is not fixed by changing MCP settings.

Blender Python and MCP mutation tools have local-code authority. Use a user-scoped, access-controlled endpoint, expose it only as required by the user's deployment, and do not connect to an endpoint whose owner is unknown.
