Ldraw MCP
Give your MCP client eyes for LEGO® models. Render LDraw files (.ldr / .mpd / .dat) to images with _real part geometry_ - studs, slopes, window glass - using headless Blender and the ImportLDraw addon. The output looks like a BrickLink Stud.io render, with no GUI anywhere in the loop. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People who work with 3d rendering, blender and ldraw and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

06 · Ldraw MCP FAQ
What is Ldraw MCP?
Give your MCP client eyes for LEGO® models. Render LDraw files (.ldr / .mpd / .dat) to images with _real part geometry_ - studs, slopes, window glass - using headless Blender and the ImportLDraw addon. The output looks like a BrickLink Stud.io render, with no GUI anywhere in the loop. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Ldraw MCP still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-09-30, its last commit was 2026-09-25 and it shipped 7 releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Ldraw MCP?
Run `uvx ldraw-mcp`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Ldraw MCP run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
