Do not proceed before installing `uv` successfully.
Download the addon file and install it in Blender.
Edit > Preferences > Add-ons.Now, connect the MCP server to your preferred AI tool.
Watch the setup instruction video. Then, go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config and add the following to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
{

"command": "uvx",
"args": [

Now, open Blender, find the "BlenderMCP" tab in the 3D View sidebar (press 'N'), and click "Connect to Claude". Ensure your AI tool is running to start modeling with prompts!
