Blender reusable light rigs, HDRI/world setup and rotation animation, light grouping, and render-view controls
Blender object manipulation — create, delete, move, rotate, scale and duplicate objects
Blender rigid body, soft body, cloth, collision, force fields, particle systems, constraints, and simulation cache tools
Set up dcc-mcp-blender for an agent or operator: install Blender Python dependencies with Blender's bundled interpreter, generate MCP host configuration, guide the user through enabling the Blender add-on, and run a first live-tool smoke prompt.
Blender rendering — render scenes, run observable background animation jobs, capture viewport images, and configure output

Typed tools for assembling Blender scenes — merging data from external .blend files, appending or linking specific data block types, managing view layers, and inspecting library references. Mirrors Maya's scene assembly surface.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
merge_scene | Merge all data from an external .blend into the current scene |
append_from_blend | Append specific data block types (objects, collections, etc.) |
link_from_blend | Link data blocks as library references |
list_view_layers | List view layers in a scene |
create_view_layer | Create a new view layer |
configure_view_layer | Configure render passes and collection exclusions |
remove_view_layer | Remove a view layer |
set_active_view_layer | Set the active view layer |
list_external_references | List all external .blend file references |
