-
-# ahujasid/blender-mcp (MIT, PyPI: blender-mcp) is the de-facto standard
-# Blender MCP. It is a bridge with two halves:
-#   1. This stdio server (uvx blender-mcp), which Hermes launches.
-#   2. An addon (addon.py) running inside Blender that opens a local command
-#      socket on 127.0.0.1:9876. The stdio server relays to it.
-# There is nothing to git-clone on the Hermes side — uvx resolves the package —
-# so no install block. The in-Blender addon setup is covered in post_install.
-#
-# Why not Blender's official MCP (blender.org/lab): it requires Blender 5.1+
-# and targets scene analysis/documentation rather than asset creation. This
-# server works across Blender 3.x/4.x and exposes full modeling control.
-transport:
-  type: stdio
-  command: "uvx"
-  # Pinned per catalog dependency policy: exact version, and the release must
-  # be at least 2 weeks old at pin time (supply-chain cooldown — same rule as
-  # pyproject.toml dependencies). 1.6.4 released 2026-06-11. The catalog never
-  # auto-updates; bumping the pin is a PR to this manifest.
-  args:
-    - "blender-mcp==1.6.4"
-  version: "1.6.4"
-  env:
-    # Upstream ships anonymous telemetry, on by default. Hermes policy is
-    # no outbound telemetry without explicit opt-in, so the catalog entry
-    # disables it. Remove this line only if you deliberately want it on.
-    DISABLE_TELEMETRY: "true"
-
-# The Blender addon binds 127.0.0.1 only and has no auth of its own; the
-# stdio server needs no credentials. Optional integrations (Sketchfab,
-# Hyper3D Rodin, Hunyuan3D) take API keys entered in the addon's N-panel
-# inside Blender, not via Hermes env.
-auth:
-  type: none
-
-# Tool selection at install time:
-# The server advertises 22 tools. 18 of them front optional third-party asset
-# services (PolyHaven, Sketchfab, Hyper3D Rodin, Hunyuan3D) that are dead
-# weight unless the matching integration is enabled in the addon panel — and
-# upstream has no server-side trim mechanism, so without a filter every one
-# of them costs schema tokens on every API call. Default to the core surface:
-# scene/object inspection, viewport screenshots, and code execution, which is
-# the complete modeling/render capability. Users who enable an asset service
-# in the addon can opt into its tools with `hermes mcp configure blender`.

-  This entry launches the bridge server, but the bridge talks to an addon
-  INSIDE a running Blender (3.0+). One-time setup:
-
-    1. Download addon.py from https://github.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp
-       (raw file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp/main/addon.py)
-    2. Blender > Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install... > select addon.py,
-       then enable "Interface: Blender MCP".
-    3. In the 3D viewport press N, open the "BlenderMCP" tab, click
-       "Connect to Claude" (starts the local socket on 127.0.0.1:9876).
-
-  Blender must be RUNNING with the addon connected before the tools work —
-  start Blender first, then your Hermes session. The addon refuses to start
-  under `blender -b` (background mode): its command queue runs on UI timers.
-  On a machine without a display, run Blender under a virtual one:
-    xvfb-run blender    (or Xvfb :99 & DISPLAY=:99 blender)
-  GPU rendering (Cycles/OptiX) works fine under Xvfb.
-
-  SECURITY: execute_blender_code runs arbitrary Python inside Blender with no
-  sandbox — same trust level as the terminal tool. Upstream telemetry is
-  disabled via DISABLE_TELEMETRY in this entry's env block.
-
-  The 18 asset-service tools (PolyHaven/Sketchfab/Hyper3D/Hunyuan3D) are off
-  by default. To use one: enable the service in the addon's BlenderMCP panel
-  (API key there if required), then `hermes mcp configure blender` and tick
-  its tools. PolyHaven is free and keyless; the others need accounts.
-
-  If Hermes and Blender run on different machines, note that file paths in
-  execute_blender_code (texture loads, exports) resolve on the BLENDER host's
-  filesystem, not where Hermes runs.

-# Blender MCP Skill
-
-Companion skill for the `blender` entry in the Hermes MCP catalog. The MCP
-server provides the connection to Blender; this skill teaches the bpy idioms
-and pitfalls for driving it well. It does not cover Blender UI workflows —
-everything here goes through the MCP tools against a live Blender session.
-
-## When to Use
-
-Use when the user wants to create or modify anything in a running Blender
-instance: meshes, materials, animations, lighting, renders. Requires the
-blender MCP server installed and a Blender desktop session with the addon
-connected.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. Install the MCP server from the Nous catalog (one-time):
-
-       hermes mcp install blender
-
-   This configures the pinned `blender-mcp` stdio server with the curated
-   tool set: `get_scene_info`, `get_object_info`, `get_viewport_screenshot`,
-   `execute_blender_code`.
-
-2. Install the addon inside Blender (one-time — the catalog entry's
-   post-install notes cover this too):
-   - Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp/main/addon.py
-   - Blender > Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install... > select addon.py,
-     enable "Interface: Blender MCP".
-
-3. Every session: start Blender FIRST, press N in the viewport, open the
-   "BlenderMCP" tab, click "Connect to Claude" (starts the local bridge
-   socket). Then start your Hermes session so the MCP tools are loaded.
-
-   The addon refuses to start under `blender -b` (background mode). On a
-   machine without a display, run Blender under a virtual one:
-   `xvfb-run blender`. GPU rendering works fine under Xvfb.
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-| MCP tool                  | Use for                                    |
-|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
-| `get_scene_info`          | List objects before touching the scene     |
-| `get_object_info`         | Inspect one object (transform, materials)  |
-| `get_viewport_screenshot` | Visual check of what you built             |
-| `execute_blender_code`    | Everything else — arbitrary bpy Python     |
-
-Deeper material lives in the reference files (load on demand):
-
-| Reference | Contents |
-|-----------|----------|
-| `references/bpy-api.md` | Essential bpy operations: modeling, materials, modifiers, rendering |
-| `references/recipes.md` | Complete working scenes: low-poly terrain, glass sphere, HDRI lighting, turntable animation |
-| `references/pitfalls.md` | Hard-won lessons: empty code results in 5.x, ops-vs-data API, engine names by version |
-
-Optional asset-service tools (PolyHaven, Sketchfab, Hyper3D, Hunyuan3D) are
-disabled by default. If the user has enabled a service in the addon panel,
-opt into its tools with `hermes mcp configure blender`.
-
-## Procedure
-
-1. Call `get_scene_info` first — never assume the scene is empty.
-2. Build with `execute_blender_code`, in small focused calls (one logical
-   step per call: add objects, then materials, then animation). Large
-   monolithic scripts hit the bridge timeout.
-3. Verify visually with `get_viewport_screenshot` between major steps.
-4. Render to an absolute path and tell the user where the file is.
-
-### Common bpy Patterns
-
-Clear scene:
-
-    bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='SELECT')
-    bpy.ops.object.delete()
-
-Add mesh objects:
-
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add(radius=1, location=(0, 0, 0))
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2, location=(3, 0, 0))
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cylinder_add(radius=0.5, depth=2, location=(-3, 0, 0))
-
-Create and assign material:
-
-    mat = bpy.data.materials.new(name="MyMat")
-    mat.use_nodes = True
-    bsdf = mat.node_tree.nodes.get("Principled BSDF")
-    bsdf.inputs["Base Color"].default_value = (R, G, B, 1.0)
-    bsdf.inputs["Roughness"].default_value = 0.3
-    bsdf.inputs["Metallic"].default_value = 0.0
-    obj.data.materials.append(mat)
-
-Keyframe animation:
-
-    obj.location = (0, 0, 0)
-    obj.keyframe_insert(data_path="location", frame=1)
-    obj.location = (0, 0, 3)
-    obj.keyframe_insert(data_path="location", frame=60)
-
-Render to file:
-
-    bpy.context.scene.render.filepath = "/tmp/render.png"
-    bpy.context.scene.render.engine = 'CYCLES'
-    bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)
-
-## Pitfalls
-
-- The blender MCP tools only exist if the server is installed and the session
-  started after install. If they're missing, run `hermes mcp install blender`
-  and start a new session.
-- The addon bridge must be (re)connected inside Blender each Blender session
-  (N-panel > BlenderMCP > Connect). "Connection refused" from the tools means
-  Blender isn't running or the addon isn't connected — fix that, don't retry.
-- Break complex scenes into multiple smaller `execute_blender_code` calls to
-  avoid bridge timeouts.
-- Render output paths must be absolute (`/tmp/render.png`), not relative —
-  they resolve on the BLENDER host's filesystem, which matters if Hermes and
-  Blender run on different machines.
-- `shade_smooth()` requires the object to be selected and in object mode.
-- `execute_blender_code` runs arbitrary Python inside Blender with no sandbox
-  — same trust level as the `terminal` tool. Don't paste untrusted code into
-  it.
-- Do NOT hand-roll raw TCP JSON to port 9876 from `execute_code` — that was
-  this skill's pre-MCP workaround. It bypasses the catalog's version pinning
-  and tool curation. The MCP tools are the supported path.
-
-## Verification
-
-- `get_scene_info` returns the expected object list after each build step.
-- `get_viewport_screenshot` shows the scene you intended.
-- After a render, confirm the output file exists and report its absolute
-  path to the user.

-# Blender MCP — Pitfalls & Lessons Learned
-
-All interaction goes through the blender MCP tools (`hermes mcp install
-blender`): `get_scene_info`, `get_object_info`, `get_viewport_screenshot`,
-and `execute_blender_code` for arbitrary bpy Python.
-
-## Setup & Connection
-
-### 1. The addon bridge must be started BEFORE the tools work
-
-The Blender MCP addon opens its local bridge socket only when you click
-"Connect to Claude" in the BlenderMCP sidebar tab (N-panel). If the MCP
-tools error with "connection refused", the addon isn't connected — fix that
-in Blender, don't retry the tool.
-
-**Verify the bridge is up:** `lsof -i :9876 -P -n | grep LISTEN`
-
-### 2. Port 9876 is the addon's default — check for conflicts
-
-Other services may already use 9876. If the tools fail but Blender is
-running with the addon started, check with lsof. The port is configurable
-in the BlenderMCP addon UI panel.
-
-### 3. Addon installation requires user interaction
-
-Blender addon installation requires the GUI: Edit > Preferences > Add-ons >
-Install. The agent cannot automate this. Provide the addon.py path and let
-the user install it.
-
-## Python Execution (`execute_blender_code`)
-
-### 4. Only bpy and math are in the namespace
-
-The code runs in a namespace with only `bpy` and `math`. If you need os,
-json, bmesh, mathutils, etc., import them inside the code:
-
-```python
-import bmesh
-bm = bmesh.new()
-...
-```
-
-### 5. Code result is always empty in Blender 5.x
-
-The addon returns `{"executed": true, "result": ""}` for ALL code — the
-eval result is not captured in Blender 5.x. To get values out:
-- Use `get_scene_info` or `get_object_info` for queries
-- Write results to a temp file and read back:
-
-```python
-import json
-open('/tmp/result.json', 'w').write(json.dumps([o.name for o in bpy.data.objects]))
-```
-
-### 6. Errors come back as error strings — always check
-
-The addon catches exceptions and returns them as error text rather than
-crashing. Check the tool result for an error before assuming the code ran.
-
-### 7. bpy.ops require correct context
-
-Many `bpy.ops` functions require the right UI context, which differs when
-executing through the bridge. Prefer direct data manipulation:
-
-```python
-# Prefer data API over ops
-bpy.data.objects.remove(bpy.data.objects['Cube'], do_unlink=True)
-```
-
-## Objects & Scene
-
-### 8. Default scene has Cube, Light, Camera
-
-New Blender files start with a Cube at (0,0,0), a Light, and a Camera.
-Clear them before building.
-
-### 9. Object names are unique — Blender auto-renames duplicates
-
-Creating an object named "Cube" when one already exists results in
-"Cube.001". Always check the actual name via `get_scene_info`.
-
-### 10. Degrees vs radians
-
-The addon's own object-creation commands take degrees and convert
-internally, but bpy code in `execute_blender_code` uses radians. Be careful
-about the distinction.
-
-## Materials
-
-### 11. Principled BSDF is the default shader
-
-Materials created by the addon use Principled BSDF. For other shader types,
-build the node tree manually in `execute_blender_code`.
-
-### 12. Color is RGBA 0-1, not RGB 0-255
-
-Material colors use floating-point RGBA in the 0.0-1.0 range.
-
-## Rendering
-
-### 13. Render blocks the bridge — expect long calls
-
-Rendering is synchronous; the tool call won't return until the render
-finishes. Expect renders to take far longer than other calls.
-
-### 14. Engine name varies by Blender version
-
-In Blender 5.x, EEVEE is `'BLENDER_EEVEE'` (not `'BLENDER_EEVEE_NEXT'`,
-which was Blender 4.x). Discover available engines at runtime:
-
-```python
-import json
-open('/tmp/engines.json', 'w').write(json.dumps(
-    list(bpy.types.RenderSettings.bl_rna.properties['engine'].enum_items.keys())))
-```
-
-Known engine names: `BLENDER_EEVEE`, `BLENDER_WORKBENCH`, `CYCLES`
-
-### 15. GPU rendering requires explicit setup on macOS
-
-Use METAL compute device type on Apple Silicon. Use CUDA or OPTIX on NVIDIA.
-
-## Reliability
-
-### 16. All state lives in Blender's scene data
-
-Each tool call is independent — there is no session state in the bridge.
-Anything you need later must exist in the scene (or a file you wrote).
-
-### 17. Blender crash loses the bridge
-
-If Blender crashes, relaunch it, re-enable the addon, and click "Connect to
-Claude" again. Save frequently (`bpy.ops.wm.save_mainfile()`).

-
-# Make rotation linear (not eased)
-for fc in pivot.animation_data.action.fcurves:
-    for kp in fc.keyframe_points:
-        kp.interpolation = 'LINEAR'
-
-# Render settings
-scene.render.filepath = '/tmp/turntable_'
-scene.render.image_settings.file_format = 'PNG'
-scene.render.resolution_x = 1080
-scene.render.resolution_y = 1080
-```
-
-## Recipe 5: Render to File and Verify
-
-```python
-import bpy, os
-
-scene = bpy.context.scene
-scene.render.resolution_x = 1920
-scene.render.resolution_y = 1080
-scene.render.filepath = '/tmp/blender_render.png'
-scene.render.image_settings.file_format = 'PNG'
-
-# Use Cycles for quality
-scene.render.engine = 'CYCLES'

-
-# Render
-bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)
-
-# Verify
-result = os.path.exists('/tmp/blender_render.png')
-```
-
-Then from the agent, view the render:
-```python
-# After execute_blender_code returns, verify and view
-from hermes_tools import terminal
-terminal("ls -la /tmp/blender_render.png")
-# Use vision_analyze to inspect the render

-:::
-
-# Blender MCP Skill
-
-Companion skill for the `blender` entry in the Hermes MCP catalog. The MCP
-server provides the connection to Blender; this skill teaches the bpy idioms
-and pitfalls for driving it well. It does not cover Blender UI workflows —
-everything here goes through the MCP tools against a live Blender session.
-
-## When to Use
-
-Use when the user wants to create or modify anything in a running Blender
-instance: meshes, materials, animations, lighting, renders. Requires the
-blender MCP server installed and a Blender desktop session with the addon
-connected.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. Install the MCP server from the Nous catalog (one-time):
-
-       hermes mcp install blender
-
-   This configures the pinned `blender-mcp` stdio server with the curated
-   tool set: `get_scene_info`, `get_object_info`, `get_viewport_screenshot`,
-   `execute_blender_code`.
-
-2. Install the addon inside Blender (one-time — the catalog entry's
-   post-install notes cover this too):
-   - Download https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp/main/addon.py
-   - Blender > Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install... > select addon.py,
-     enable "Interface: Blender MCP".
-
-3. Every session: start Blender FIRST, press N in the viewport, open the
-   "BlenderMCP" tab, click "Connect to Claude" (starts the local bridge
-   socket). Then start your Hermes session so the MCP tools are loaded.
-
-   The addon refuses to start under `blender -b` (background mode). On a
-   machine without a display, run Blender under a virtual one:
-   `xvfb-run blender`. GPU rendering works fine under Xvfb.
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-| MCP tool                  | Use for                                    |
-|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
-| `get_scene_info`          | List objects before touching the scene     |
-| `get_object_info`         | Inspect one object (transform, materials)  |
-| `get_viewport_screenshot` | Visual check of what you built             |
-| `execute_blender_code`    | Everything else — arbitrary bpy Python     |
-
-Deeper material lives in the reference files (load on demand):
-
-| Reference | Contents |
-|-----------|----------|
-| `references/bpy-api.md` | Essential bpy operations: modeling, materials, modifiers, rendering |
-| `references/recipes.md` | Complete working scenes: low-poly terrain, glass sphere, HDRI lighting, turntable animation |
-| `references/pitfalls.md` | Hard-won lessons: empty code results in 5.x, ops-vs-data API, engine names by version |
-
-Optional asset-service tools (PolyHaven, Sketchfab, Hyper3D, Hunyuan3D) are
-disabled by default. If the user has enabled a service in the addon panel,
-opt into its tools with `hermes mcp configure blender`.
-
-## Procedure
-
-1. Call `get_scene_info` first — never assume the scene is empty.
-2. Build with `execute_blender_code`, in small focused calls (one logical
-   step per call: add objects, then materials, then animation). Large

-### Common bpy Patterns
-
-Clear scene:
-
-    bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='SELECT')
-    bpy.ops.object.delete()
-
-Add mesh objects:
-
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add(radius=1, location=(0, 0, 0))
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2, location=(3, 0, 0))
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cylinder_add(radius=0.5, depth=2, location=(-3, 0, 0))
-
-Create and assign material:
-
-    mat = bpy.data.materials.new(name="MyMat")
-    mat.use_nodes = True
-    bsdf = mat.node_tree.nodes.get("Principled BSDF")
-    bsdf.inputs["Base Color"].default_value = (R, G, B, 1.0)
-    bsdf.inputs["Roughness"].default_value = 0.3
-    bsdf.inputs["Metallic"].default_value = 0.0
-    obj.data.materials.append(mat)
-
-Keyframe animation:
-
-    obj.location = (0, 0, 0)
-    obj.keyframe_insert(data_path="location", frame=1)
-    obj.location = (0, 0, 3)
-    obj.keyframe_insert(data_path="location", frame=60)
-
-Render to file:
-
-    bpy.context.scene.render.filepath = "/tmp/render.png"
-    bpy.context.scene.render.engine = 'CYCLES'
-    bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)
-
-## Pitfalls
-
-- The blender MCP tools only exist if the server is installed and the session
-  started after install. If they're missing, run `hermes mcp install blender`
-  and start a new session.
-- The addon bridge must be (re)connected inside Blender each Blender session
-  (N-panel > BlenderMCP > Connect). "Connection refused" from the tools means
-  Blender isn't running or the addon isn't connected — fix that, don't retry.
-- Break complex scenes into multiple smaller `execute_blender_code` calls to
-  avoid bridge timeouts.
-- Render output paths must be absolute (`/tmp/render.png`), not relative —
-  they resolve on the BLENDER host's filesystem, which matters if Hermes and
-  Blender run on different machines.
-- `shade_smooth()` requires the object to be selected and in object mode.
-- `execute_blender_code` runs arbitrary Python inside Blender with no sandbox
-  — same trust level as the `terminal` tool. Don't paste untrusted code into
-  it.
-- Do NOT hand-roll raw TCP JSON to port 9876 from `execute_code` — that was
-  this skill's pre-MCP workaround. It bypasses the catalog's version pinning
-  and tool curation. The MCP tools are the supported path.
-
-## Verification
-
-- `get_scene_info` returns the expected object list after each build step.
-- `get_viewport_screenshot` shows the scene you intended.
-- After a render, confirm the output file exists and report its absolute
-  path to the user.

-# Blender MCP
-
-通过 TCP 端口 9876 上的 socket，从 Hermes 控制正在运行的 Blender 实例。
-
-## 设置（一次性）
-
-### 1. 安装 Blender 插件
-
-    curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ahujasid/blender-mcp/main/addon.py -o ~/Desktop/blender_mcp_addon.py
-
-在 Blender 中：
-    Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install > 选择 blender_mcp_addon.py
-    启用 "Interface: Blender MCP"
-
-### 2. 在 Blender 中启动 socket 服务器
-
-在 Blender 视口中按 N 键打开侧边栏。
-找到 "BlenderMCP" 标签页，点击 "Start Server"。
-
-### 3. 验证连接
-
-    nc -z -w2 localhost 9876 && echo "OPEN" || echo "CLOSED"
-
-## 协议
-
-通过 TCP 传输纯 UTF-8 JSON — 无长度前缀。
-
-发送：    &#123;"type": "&lt;command>", "params": &#123;&lt;kwargs>&#125;&#125;
-接收：    &#123;"status": "success", "result": &lt;value>&#125;
-          &#123;"status": "error",   "message": "&lt;reason>"&#125;

-                    break
-                buf += chunk
-                try:
-                    json.loads(buf.decode("utf-8"))
-                    break
-                except json.JSONDecodeError:
-                    continue
-            except socket.timeout:
-                break
-        s.close()
-        return json.loads(buf.decode("utf-8"))
-
-## 常用 bpy 模式
-
-### 清空场景
-    bpy.ops.object.select_all(action='SELECT')
-    bpy.ops.object.delete()
-
-### 添加网格对象
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_uv_sphere_add(radius=1, location=(0, 0, 0))
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cube_add(size=2, location=(3, 0, 0))
-    bpy.ops.mesh.primitive_cylinder_add(radius=0.5, depth=2, location=(-3, 0, 0))
-
-### 创建并指定材质
-    mat = bpy.data.materials.new(name="MyMat")
-    mat.use_nodes = True
-    bsdf = mat.node_tree.nodes.get("Principled BSDF")
-    bsdf.inputs["Base Color"].default_value = (R, G, B, 1.0)
-    bsdf.inputs["Roughness"].default_value = 0.3
-    bsdf.inputs["Metallic"].default_value = 0.0
-    obj.data.materials.append(mat)
-
-### 关键帧动画
-    obj.location = (0, 0, 0)
-    obj.keyframe_insert(data_path="location", frame=1)
-    obj.location = (0, 0, 3)
-    obj.keyframe_insert(data_path="location", frame=60)
-
-### 渲染到文件
-    bpy.context.scene.render.filepath = "/tmp/render.png"
-    bpy.context.scene.render.engine = 'CYCLES'
-    bpy.ops.render.render(write_still=True)
-
-## 注意事项
-
-- 运行前必须检查 socket 是否已开放（nc -z localhost 9876）
-- 每次会话都需要在 Blender 内部启动插件服务器（N 面板 > BlenderMCP > Connect）
-- 将复杂场景拆分为多个较小的 execute_code 调用，以避免超时
-- 渲染输出路径必须为绝对路径（/tmp/...），不能使用相对路径
-- `shade_smooth()` 要求对象已被选中且处于对象模式
