The optional blender-mcp skill predates the blender MCP catalog entry
(#64463) and taught the agent to hand-roll raw TCP JSON to the addon's
socket on port 9876 from execute_code — bypassing the catalog's version
pinning and install-time tool curation.
Reworked to v2.0.0 as the companion skill for the catalog entry:
- prerequisites now go through 'hermes mcp install blender'
- interaction surface is the four curated MCP tools, not a raw socket
- keeps the valuable content: addon setup, bpy recipes (materials,
keyframes, render-to-file), pitfalls (timeouts, absolute paths,
object mode), plus new pitfalls (xvfb headless, no-sandbox warning,
remote-host path resolution)
- explicit anti-pattern note: do not hand-roll TCP to 9876
- description shortened to <=60 chars per skill authoring standards
alireza78a's original bpy patterns and pitfalls are preserved and
credited. Docs page regenerated via generate-skill-docs.py (scoped to
this skill only; unrelated generator drift left untouched).
