Verdict

Pick BlenderMCP if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine.

Pick Figma MCP Server (Official Remote) if you want the official, vendor-maintained server, and you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install.

Add BlenderMCP

Install / run

uvx blender-mcp

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blendermcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "blender-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.

Add Figma MCP Server (Official Remote)

Install / run

Add MCP server URL https://mcp.figma.com/mcp (HTTP) and sign in via Figma OAuth

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "figma-mcp-server-official-remote": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
