Blender

If you need Claude to actually manipulate Blender scenes, read mesh data, or run bpy scripts, this is the bridge. It uses Flue, a lightweight stdin/stdout contract that pipes Python commands into Blender's runtime and returns JSON. Not an MCP server, just a thin shell adapter. You'd use this when the human asks to inspect collections, edit materials, or automate scene work that a CLI agent can't touch otherwise. Flue covers ten other creative apps with the same contract, which is clean design. Already passed three security audits and sitting at 2.1K installs, so it's getting real use. Requires pip install and explicit approval before setup.

Install

$ npx -y skills add sfkislev/flue --skill Blender --agent claude-code

Installs into .claude/skills of the current project.

Files

This skill lets a coding agent operate Blender on the desktop through Flue, a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes Python into blender_bridge.py and gets structured JSON back. Flue is not an MCP server — it is a thinner, simpler shell contract that drives Blender's own bpy runtime directly.

agent shell -> blender_bridge.py -> bpy -> JSON result

When to use

The human requests work performed inside Blender — inspect the open scene, collections, objects, meshes, materials, selection; make bounded edits; run small bpy scripts. A CLI agent cannot act inside Blender without a bridge like Flue.

How to proceed

Read FLUE.md in this directory first. It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked bpy example, and safety expectations.
If Flue is installed: also read C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.md and adapters/blender_adapter/APP.md for the operational contract, then work from there.
If Flue is not installed: tell the human. The install command is pip install flue && flue setup. Do not install without explicit approval in the current session.
