### Install without uv

On locked-down machines you can skip uvx entirely with [`pipx`](https://pipx.pypa.io), then point your client at the installed command:

```bash
pipx install mcp-for-blender
pipx ensurepath          # then restart your shell / client
```

Use the resulting absolute path as `"command"` (find it with `which mcp-for-blender` / `where mcp-for-blender`) and omit `args`.

---

### Run with Docker

You can run the MCP server in a container instead of installing it. Blender itself still runs on your machine — the container only hosts the MCP server, which connects out to the Blender addon.

Build the image from the repo root:

```bash
docker build -t mcp-for-blender .
```

Then point your MCP client at it (the `-i` flag is required — the server talks to the client over stdin/stdout):

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "blender": {
            "command": "docker",
            "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "mcp-for-blender"]
        }
    }
}
```

The image defaults to `BLENDER_HOST=host.docker.internal`, which reaches the host's Blender out of the box with Docker Desktop on **macOS and Windows**.

On **Linux**, `host.docker.internal` doesn't exist and the addon only listens on `localhost`, so use host networking instead:

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "blender": {
            "command": "docker",
            "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "--network=host", "-e", "BLENDER_HOST=localhost", "mcp-for-blender"]
        }
    }
}
```

To enable [safe mode](#safe-mode) in the container, add `"-e", "BLENDER_MCP_SAFE_MODE=1"` to `args`.
