Claude Code MCP Setup
Add the 3D AI Studio MCP server to Claude Code with one claude mcp add command, sign in with /mcp, and generate 3D models and images from your terminal.
Claude Code can generate 3D models, images and materials for your project straight from the terminal. Ask for a game asset, a texture set or a 3D printable part, and Claude Code creates it on 3D AI Studio and gives you the result.
New to 3D AI Studio? See the 3D model generation MCP for what it can do and example results.
Want Claude Code to do the setup itself? Paste the brief from Set Up With Your Agent.
What you need
- A 3D AI Studio account on a paid plan.
- Claude Code, updated to a recent version.
- A browser on the same machine for the one time sign in.
Commands not working? Claude Code changes how it handles MCP servers from time to time, so the commands below can go out of date. The quickest fix is to let Claude Code do it. Paste this into a session:
Add the 3D AI Studio MCP server for me: https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp
(remote server, Streamable HTTP, OAuth sign in, no API key).
Follow https://docs.3daistudio.com/mcp-setup.md, and if your version works differently, use the current way to add a remote MCP server.Setup
Add the server
Run this in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user 3daistudio https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp--scope usermakes 3D AI Studio available in all your projects. Leave it out to add it to the current project only.3daistudiois the server name. You can pick another name, but the commands on this page assume3daistudio.
Authenticate
Start Claude Code and run:
/mcpSelect 3daistudio and choose Authenticate. A 3D AI Studio page opens in your browser:
- Sign in with your 3D AI Studio account.
- Under Use credits from, keep Personal or choose a team.
- Click Authorize.
Return to Claude Code. The server now shows as connected in /mcp.
Try it
Ask Claude Code:
"Use 3D AI Studio to make a low poly treasure chest for my game and give me the GLB."
Check that it worked
- Run
claude mcp listin your terminal.3daistudioshould be listed. - Inside Claude Code, ask: "What's my 3D AI Studio credit balance?"
Working with results in the terminal
- Claude Code shows finished models and images as links (there is no inline 3D viewer in the terminal). Open them in your browser or in your dashboard.
- To use a local image (a sketch, a photo, a concept), Claude Code gives you a link to an upload page. Open it, drop the file in, then tell Claude Code you are done. See Images & Uploads.
- Ask Claude Code to convert a model to the format your project needs (for example "convert it to FBX" or "export an STL scaled to 10 cm").
Claude Code specific fixes
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
3daistudio shows as needing authentication | Run /mcp, select 3daistudio and choose Authenticate |
| The tools do not appear | Restart Claude Code, then check claude mcp list. Make sure the URL is exactly https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp |
| A session says it has an outdated sign in | Close all running Claude Code sessions and start a new one. Your connection itself is fine |
| You want to remove the server | Run claude mcp remove 3daistudio, and disconnect it in Settings → AI Assistants (MCP) |

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Claude Code signs in through your browser (OAuth). Do not add any API key or token to the configuration.
You can add the server at project scope so the configuration is shared, but each teammate still signs in with their own 3D AI Studio account. Sign ins are never shared through the repository.
In your 3D AI Studio dashboard, and Claude Code gives you the download links in the conversation. Ask it to save a file into your project if you want it on disk.
ChatGPT
Add 3D AI Studio to ChatGPT as a custom MCP connector in developer mode, sign in, and generate textured 3D models and images right inside your ChatGPT chats.
Cursor
Add the 3D AI Studio MCP server to Cursor with a single mcp.json entry, sign in, and generate 3D models, images and PBR materials from Cursor's agent mode.
