MCP Quick Start
Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex to 3D AI Studio in about two minutes: add the connector URL, sign in, approve, and generate your first model.
This page gets you from zero to your first AI generated 3D model inside your assistant in about two minutes. If you want the exact clicks for one specific assistant, jump to its setup guide.

What you need
- A 3D AI Studio account on a paid plan (see plans).
- An AI assistant that supports remote MCP servers, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, VS Code with Copilot, or OpenCode.
These two values are all you will ever type during setup:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Connector URL | https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp |
| Server name (for tools that ask for one) | 3daistudio |
Use the URL exactly as shown, including mcp. at the start and /mcp at the end. www.3daistudio.com and older guides that end in /sse will not work.
Connect in four steps
Step 1: Check your plan
The connector is included in every paid 3D AI Studio plan. You can confirm your plan, and see the connector URL, in Settings → AI Assistants (MCP).
Step 2: Add the connector to your assistant
Add a new remote MCP server (some apps call it a "custom connector") with the connector URL. How you do that depends on the app:
| Assistant | Where to add it |
|---|---|
| Claude (web and desktop) | Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste the URL. Full guide |
| ChatGPT | Settings → Connectors → Create, then paste the URL. Full guide |
| Claude Code | Run claude mcp add --transport http --scope user 3daistudio https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp. Full guide |
| Cursor | Add the server to your mcp.json. Full guide |
| Codex | Run codex mcp add 3daistudio --url https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp. Full guide |
| VS Code (Copilot) | Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json. Full guide |
| OpenCode | Add the server to opencode.json. Full guide |
| Anything else | Add a remote (Streamable HTTP) MCP server with the URL. Full guide |
Menus or commands look different? AI apps change their MCP settings often, so these steps can go out of date within days. Your assistant usually knows its current setup, so just ask it. Coding agents can often set it up for you:
How do I add a remote MCP server in this app right now? I want to connect 3D AI Studio:
https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp (OAuth sign in, no API key).
Use https://docs.3daistudio.com/mcp-setup.md for the details, and set it up for me if you can.Step 3: Sign in and approve
Your assistant opens a 3D AI Studio page in your browser.
- Sign in with your 3D AI Studio account (skip this if you are already signed in).
- Review the permissions under "This app will be able to". The page lists exactly what the assistant can do. See Security & Privacy for what each one means.
- Choose which credits to use in the "Use credits from" menu. Personal is selected by default. If you belong to a team, you can pick the team's credits instead.
- Click Authorize.
The page tells you which app is asking to connect. If you did not start a connection yourself, click Cancel.
Step 4: Generate your first model
Go back to your assistant and ask for something. A few ideas:
- "Make a low poly fox for my game."
- "Create a three headed wolf statue I can 3D print, and export it as an STL."
- "Generate an image of a cozy wizard hut, then turn it into a 3D model."
- "What 3D models can you make with 3D AI Studio, and what do they cost?"
The assistant starts the generation and checks on it until it is done. 3D models usually take 1 to 5 minutes; images take seconds. The result appears in the chat (or as a link, depending on your assistant) and in your dashboard.
Check that it worked
Ask your assistant: "What's my 3D AI Studio credit balance?"
If it answers with a number, you are connected. If it says it has no such tool, or asks you to sign in again, see Troubleshooting.
You can also open Settings → AI Assistants (MCP). Your assistant should be listed under Connected Apps.
Step by step guides for each assistant
- Claude - web and desktop, with the interactive 3D viewer in the chat
- ChatGPT - web and desktop
- Claude Code - terminal
- Cursor - editor
- Codex - CLI, IDE extension and app
- VS Code (Copilot) - editor
- OpenCode - terminal
- Other MCP clients - anything that supports remote MCP servers
Using a coding agent? Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and similar tools can set up the connector themselves. Send them the agent setup page.
Frequently Asked Questions
About two minutes: paste one URL, sign in, click Authorize.
For chat apps like Claude and ChatGPT, the connector is tied to your assistant account, so it is usually available wherever you use that account. Developer tools like Claude Code, Codex and Cursor store their configuration per machine (or per project), so you add it once on each computer.
Yes. Each assistant is its own connection, and you can see and disconnect each one separately in Managing Connections.
You can add the connector, but the sign in page will ask you to upgrade before access is granted. After upgrading, simply connect again.
Overview
How the 3D AI Studio MCP connector works: connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex and generate 3D models and images with your normal credits.
Set Up With Your Agent
Let your coding agent connect 3D AI Studio for you: paste one brief into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code Copilot or OpenCode, or point it at the setup file.
