All limitations / Review context

Does the published package and documented Blender tool surface still match the repository?

The bounded assessment reviewed the official README, repository notices, security policy path, and security page for known material public-tracking blockers. No such blocker was identified. This is a public-tracking assessment, not an installation safety certification.

The server can make project changes inside Blender; use project backups and review generated edits.
Can inspect and modify Blender scene state through the installed add-on.
Primarily local Blender project/session data.
Reviewed write actions: Create or modify scenes and objects
Sensitive access: Local Blender project content
Installation, client compatibility and comprehensive security have not been independently audited. Authentication and access depend on the configured services.
A project-specific SECURITY.md policy was not available at the fetched official path; the review remains limited to published repository notices.
No installation, runtime, client matrix, or complete tool-contract audit was performed in this review.
The fetched official SECURITY.md path returned HTTP 404; it was not treated as positive evidence.

Additional setup details required — see the specific gaps below.

Warning

Blender application/add-on required; package launch alone is insufficient.
Publisher-specific exact credential-revocation procedure not established; use the issuing provider controls only if credentials actually exist.
Credential revocation is external-provider-specific or not documented in examined official project Setup/README; do not assert exact revocation CLI.
Requires explicit review of permissions, filesystem changes, scope, credentials, or destructive effects before running.
publisher README config shape Replace the supplied credential/path placeholders privately; use only the named configuration schema.
Run the removal command in the same client and configuration scope used for registration; this does not uninstall an application, revoke third-party authorization, or delete data.

Install / connect
Publisher instructions
Use `uvx mcp-for-blender setup` for guided setup. Alternatively `uvx mcp-for-blender install-addon`, enable Interface: MCP for Blender in Blender preferences, and start the server from the Blender MCP sidebar.
claude mcp add blender uvx mcp-for-blender
Configure / authenticate
MCP100 setup guide
In Blender 3D View press N, find MCP for Blender tab and click Start MCP Server/Connect to Claude as supported by the installed release. Register the matching stdio server in your chosen MCP client; do not confuse the Blender addon with the client-side process.

Check connection
Suggested check
Verify the Blender sidebar MCP bridge is active and the chosen MCP client discovers blender tools; inspect the scene using a low-risk read operation in a disposable .blend file. Do not generate/modify production scenes as a connection test. Client registration check: `claude mcp get blender` (checks registration; inspect tools/read-only calls separately to verify authenticated service access).
Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guide
Remove the registered Blender MCP server from the agent host. Disable the `MCP for Blender` addon in Blender Preferences. Uninstall the addon manually only after confirming the path via `uvx mcp-for-blender addon-paths`; keep its `.bak` backups unless intentionally purging.
