{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autocad-mcp": {
      "command": "C:\\path\\to\\autocad-mcp\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
      "args": [
        "-m",
        "autocad_mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AUTOCAD_MCP_BACKEND": "auto"
      }
    }
  }
}

Add BlenderMCP

Install / run

uvx blender-mcp

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
