### Description (declared)

# studio-mcp

**Give your MCP client eyes for LEGO models.** An MCP server that renders
LDraw files (`.ldr` / `.mpd` / `.dat`) to images with real part geometry —
studs, slopes, window glass — using headless Blender and the ImportLDraw
addon. The result looks like a BrickLink Stud.io render, with no GUI
anywhere in the loop.

Point a vision-capable model at a build and it sees the actual bricks:
crossed rotation matrices, floating plates, sunken windows — the kinds of
export bugs a geometric proxy render will happily hide.

## Quickstart

```bash
# 1. install
pip install -e .

# 2. install the LDraw parts library + ImportLDraw addon
studio-mcp-setup

# 3. register with Claude Code
claude mcp add studio -- studio-mcp
```

Then ask things like *"render output/build.ldr and tell me what looks
wrong"* — the model sees the render, not just the text.

Blender is a prerequisite (see [Requirements](#requirements)); it is not
installed by `studio-mcp-setup`.

## Tools

| tool | what it does |
|---|---|
| `render_ldraw_file(path, azimuths="-60,120", resolution=640, samples=24)` | Render a model file to a PNG (multi-view, stitched side by side) |
| `render_ldraw_text(ldr, azimuths="-60,120", resolution=640, samples=24)` | Render inline LDraw content without writing a file first |
| `check_renderer()` | Diagnose the Blender / addon / parts-library setup |

`azimuths` is a comma-separated list of view angles in degrees; each is
rendered and the views are stitched horizontally. Elevation is fixed at
22°. Higher `samples` = cleaner but slower.

## Requirements

- **Blender 4.x** on `PATH`, or point `STUDIO_MCP_BLENDER` at the binary.
  Install it yourself (package manager, blender.org, or a local build);
  `studio-mcp-setup` does not install Blender.
- **ImportLDraw addon** (`io_scene_importldraw`) in Blender's addons dir —
  installed by `studio-mcp-setup`.
- **LDraw parts library** at `~/.ldraw` (or `LDRAW_LIBRARY_PATH`) —
  installed by `studio-mcp-setup`.
