I'm tired of the half-way-there automations, I want an MCP that can replace the person that would need to use this.
sounds like my CEO. "we don't need engineers, we have ai"
now who runs the AI?

#32The fade in effect when scrolling down is quite distracting, and makes reading the web page slower, because I have to wait for the text to appear. Yes, I have a fast computer.
I do not think it has much to do with how fast your computer is, it is probably timed, e.g. from the CSS: "transition-duration: 0.3s". It is quite annoying. Almost akin to: - "How many CSS effects do you want?" - "Yes". :P At any rate, the project is pretty cool. Everything is just one prompt away now (not really, but still!).
Thanks for the feedback brother, I will surely improve the website

#33Great works. In your "How to Setup" the cloned project is "blender-mcp" but the directory is "bleder-mcp-demo". I don't have Claude and no experience with MCP. How to use it with other tools such as LMStudio, ollama, etc?
fixing it, its actually blender-mcp only, I changed the repo name form blende-mcp-demo to blender-mcp.
And you can use free tier claude desktop or other open source llms

#34This is an awesome use of MCP. Thank you!
Thanks a lot brother

The only issue I have is not being able to read the text right away, but perhaps making the animation faster might work?

#36I apologize for this extremely dumb question, but how is this a "server"? As far as I'm aware Blender is a local app. It can run without an internet connection. If an LLM wants to call into it, it needs to call its local python API.
Is this just unlucky naming or am I missing a critical piece?

MCP is a spec that is attempting to standardize a communication pattern for registering and calling tools from an llm. Part of the spec is a server that exposes specific JSON-RPC end points with a registry of the available tools, resources, and templates, and a way of executing them. That's the server, in this case the server acts as the interface into Blender.

Taken to the nth degree you want an MCP server that makes you a feature length animation or invents a new device and ships it to you?
Of course not, I would just ask for a MCP that watches the generated movie so I can use my time for more important matters, I just want the system to work by itself entirely, we could have these full consumerism silos and we just enjoy being called it's gods, but perhaps we could automate such egocentrism too.

Well, now I know why "they" bother to digitally simulate my existence, and why movies are so terrible.

#39Does anyone know of a way to create custom 3D print designs with LLMs? Is there a bespoke project or service somewhere?
I have successfully(if inefficiently, but faster than if I did it on my own) used Claude with OpenSCAD to make 3d printed products.
