Blender MCP with Codex is a beast
The trail begins on 22 May, when ChatGPT described “Blender MCP with Codex” as “a beast.” Dev.to supplied more technical context in “Controlling Blender with AI — Building an MCP Server for 3D Creation.” OpenAI voices said Codex completed a one-hour development task end to end, calling it “actually f*ing insane.” Another reported making a Blender 5.1 MCP add-on work on Blender 3.6.23 with Codex/Astra and asked for compatibility testers. Reactions remain inconsistent. ChatGPT called Codex “freaking awesome” and framed “ChatGPT+Github” as a Codex alternative. OpenAI also described Codex as “so discouraging.” Other ChatGPT posts covered FreeBuff MCP for Codex workflow optimisation and a real-money multiplayer typing game reportedly built with Codex in 60 minutes.
Taking this as factual, impact is 0%. Blender developers experimenting with MCP and Codex have another working example and a possible route for adapting a Blender 5.1 add-on to version 3.6.23. The report identifies no broader change for Blender users, Codex users or 3D production workflows.
Watch for results from the requested compatibility testing and reproducible demonstrations of the Blender 3.6.23 setup. Those would show whether the workflow works beyond its creator’s machine.
