Blender Skills MCP Server by EL4CTEO

<p align="center"><img src="assets/banner.png" width="420" alt="Blender Agent Skills"></p> <h1 align="center">Blender Agent Skills</h1>

Professional Blender workflows packaged as Agent Skills for AI coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and Cursor.

There are 28 skills covering the full 3D pipeline (modeling, UVs, texturing, baking, rigging, animation, clothing, hair, environments, stylized looks, optimization, export, rendering, video, weather, simulation and QA), built for Blender 5.2 LTS+ (verified on 5.3). Every script is tested in a real Blender.

Install

Claude Code (plugin):

/plugin marketplace add EL4CTEO/blender-skills
/plugin install blender-agent-skills@blender-agent-skills

Any agent (clone, then run the installer):

git clone https://github.com/EL4CTEO/blender-skills
./blender-skills/install/install.sh          # macOS / Linux
.\blender-skills\install\install.ps1         # Windows

The default installs into ~/.claude/skills and ~/.agents/skills. .agents/skills is read by Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Copilot and Cursor. Options: --agent claude|codex|opencode|gemini|copilot|cursor|all, --project DIR for a single project, --uninstall.

Requirements: Blender 5.2 LTS or newer. Update to Blender 5.3.0 for the best experience: every skill is verified on it, and it adds KTX2 web export, the compositor effects stack and Gaussian splats. Optional: a Blender MCP server lets agents work in your open Blender. Without one, agents run Blender in the background.

With vs without skills

Same model, same prompts, outputs with the skills vs without them: see the comparison.

Try it

"Make a game-ready crate for Unreal with baked normals and LODs." "Rig this character with Rigify and export it to Unity with a walk cycle." "Check this model for z-fighting and floating parts, then export it for Roblox." "Make this street a rainy night with puddles and lightning." "Give my character a shirt and hair cards, then retarget this Mixamo run onto it."
