Cinema4d MCP Server

Let an LLM drive Cinema 4D. mcp-cinema4d bridges MCP-compatible clients (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any other stdio-capable MCP client) to a running Cinema 4D 2026 session so the model can inspect scene hierarchy, author shots, build node materials, and rig animation through a typed, undo-safe tool layer - not arbitrary Python pasted into a Script Manager.

People connecting security tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Cinema4d

before you install - you'll need

C4D_MCP_TOKEN

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add kumoproductions-mcp-cinema4d -- npx -y @kumoproductions/mcp-cinema4d

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kumoproductions-mcp-cinema4d": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@kumoproductions/mcp-cinema4d"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

06 · Cinema4d FAQ

What is Cinema4d?

Is Cinema4d still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-18 and it shipped 5 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Cinema4d?

Run `npx -y @kumoproductions/mcp-cinema4d`. The README documents one environment variable (C4D_MCP_TOKEN) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Cinema4d run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
