Our reading of BlenderLens, from the data

BlenderLens is a gaming MCP server from pzalutski-pixel, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

Maintenance is active: the last public signal was 7 days ago (2026-10-12). For comparison, 73% of gaming servers are active or maintained.

With 0 GitHub stars it ranks #185 of 428 gaming servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (BLENDERLENS_TOKEN); use a scoped, least-privilege key.

Install BlenderLens MCP server

claude mcp add blenderlens -e BLENDERLENS_TOKEN='<blenderlens-token>' -- npx -y blenderlens-mcp

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blenderlens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "blenderlens-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BLENDERLENS_TOKEN": "<blenderlens-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global) or .cursor/mcp.json (project).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blenderlens": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "blenderlens-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BLENDERLENS_TOKEN": "<blenderlens-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Settings → Developer → Edit Config (claude_desktop_config.json), then restart.

        "-y",
        "blenderlens-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "BLENDERLENS_TOKEN": "<blenderlens-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

Configuration

Variable	Required	Secret	Description
BLENDER_BIN	—	—	Blender executable, for background sessions, install-addon, and the check command on a .blend; found on PATH or in the usual install folders when unset
BLENDERLENS_MODE	—	—	auto (the Blender window running the add-on if it responds, otherwise a background Blender), live, or background
BLENDERLENS_HOST	—	—	The address the server connects to for the BlenderLens add-on in live mode
BLENDERLENS_PORT	—	—	The add-on's port, as set in its preferences
BLENDERLENS_TOKEN	—	yes	Overrides the token the server reads from the add-on's connection file (live-<port>.json)
BLENDERLENS_TIMEOUT	—	—	Seconds to wait for one call; render_preview, run_python, run_script and bake_texture also take a timeout of their own
BLENDERLENS_START_TIMEOUT	—	—	Seconds to wait for a background Blender to come up
BLENDERLENS_RENDER_DIR	—	—	Where render_preview writes when given no path. When unset, blenderlens/renders in the system temp folder, where previews older than 7 days are removed when the server starts
BLENDERLENS_ALLOW_PYTHON	—	—	0 leaves run_python and run_script out of the tool list and refuses them (not_allowed)
BLENDERLENS_ALLOWED_DIRS	—	—	Folders that every path given to a tool must lie inside, separated by ; on Windows and : elsewhere. render_preview may also write to its render folder (BLENDERLENS_RENDER_DIR). When unset, paths are not confined
BLENDERLENS_RUNTIME_DIR	—	—	Where the add-on writes live-<port>.json for the server, and where recovery copies go; Blender and the server must agree. Default: %LOCALAPPDATA%\blenderlens on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/blenderlens on macOS, and $XDG_STATE_HOME/blenderlens or ~/.local/state/blenderlens elsewhere
