# Add 3D AI Studio to Any MCP Client

How to add 3D AI Studio to any MCP client with remote server support: the server URL, transport, OAuth sign-in, and a bridge for clients that only run local servers.

3D AI Studio works with any MCP client that supports **remote MCP servers with sign in**. If your client is not covered by a dedicated guide, use the details on this page.

New to 3D AI Studio? See the [3D model generation MCP](https://www.3daistudio.com/MCP) for what it can do and example results.

## Connection details

| Setting | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Server URL | `https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp` |
| Suggested server name | `3daistudio` |
| Transport | Remote MCP server over **Streamable HTTP** (often labeled "http", "remote" or "streamable-http") |
| Authentication | **OAuth**, through the standard MCP authorization flow. Your client registers itself automatically and opens a browser sign in |
| API key, headers, environment variables | **None.** Do not add any |

The sign in shows a 3D AI Studio page where you sign in, choose which credits to use (Personal or a team) and click **Authorize**.

> [!WARNING]
> Use the URL exactly as shown. These do **not** work: `https://www.3daistudio.com`, `https://mcp.3daistudio.com` without `/mcp`, and older guides that end in `/sse`.

> [!NOTE]
> **Not sure where your client puts MCP servers?** Ask your assistant directly. Most assistants know how their own app adds remote MCP servers, and coding agents can often do the setup for you:

```text
How do I add a remote MCP server in this app? I want to connect 3D AI Studio:
https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, 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.
```

## Common configuration shapes

Every client names its settings a little differently. These are the most common shapes. Check your client's documentation for the exact field names.

**`url` style** (Cursor and many others):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "3daistudio": {
      "url": "https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**`type` + `url` style** (VS Code and others):

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "3daistudio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Some clients call the field `serverUrl` or `httpUrl` instead of `url`. The value is always the same.

## Clients that only support local servers

Some clients can only start local MCP servers (a command on your computer) and cannot connect to a remote URL. For those, you can use the community bridge [`mcp-remote`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote), which runs locally and forwards to the remote server, including the browser sign in:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "3daistudio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.3daistudio.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

This needs Node.js installed. `mcp-remote` is a third party tool and is not maintained by 3D AI Studio. Prefer your client's built in remote server support whenever it has one.

## What your client needs to support

- **Streamable HTTP** remote servers.
- **MCP authorization (OAuth)** with a browser sign in.
- **Tools.** That is all you need to generate.
- **Optional:** clients that support interactive app cards (like Claude) show finished models in a 3D viewer and offer an inline upload card. Other clients show links instead, which works just as well.

## Check that it worked

Ask your client to call the `get_credit_balance` tool, or simply ask: **"What's my 3D AI Studio credit balance?"** If you get a number back, you are connected.

If your client cannot connect, see [Troubleshooting](https://docs.3daistudio.com/mcp/troubleshooting). If you believe your client should work but does not, contact [support@3daistudio.com](mailto:support@3daistudio.com) and tell us the client name and version.
