Render Blender scenes from Claude.ai

Updated 2026-10-02

In Claude.ai, add https://render.janction.jp/mcp as a custom connector (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector). Press Connect, and a free key is created. Then describe a scene: Claude writes the bpy script, previews it on a JANCTION GPU in a few seconds and renders the final MP4. Free beta.

Setup

  1. Claude.ai → Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  2. Name "JANCTION Render", URL https://render.janction.jp/mcp, Add.
  3. Press Connect. The consent page creates a free API key (no account, no card).
  4. In a chat, make sure the connector's tools are enabled and ask.

The connector is also submitted to Anthropic's connector directory (in review as of 2026-10-02); once listed, it can be enabled without pasting a URL.

Prompt to try

Using JANCTION Render, build a glossy red cube rotating on a grey floor and show me a 4-frame preview.
If it looks right, render 24 frames at 1280x720 as an MP4.

What Claude does

  1. scene_info reads the scene without rendering: cameras, frame range, objects, missing files.
  2. render_preview renders 1-4 frames at 720p in a few GPU seconds and returns the image, so the agent can look, fix the script and try again.
  3. render_estimate says how long the final render takes ("about 3 minutes") and whether it fits today's free quota.
  4. render_final renders the frames on GPUs and joins them into an MP4; render_status reports the remaining time; render_download returns the files or links.

The 4-frame preview Claude.ai got from that prompt: 4 GPU seconds. The 24-frame 720p MP4 that followed took 58 GPU seconds (2026-10-01, RTX PRO 6000).

How long it takes

jobGPU timenote
preview, 4 frames (720p split in 4 tiles, 16 samples, denoised)about 4 sround trip about 8 s; the image comes back inline
final, 24 frames at 1280x720, 64 samples → MP4about 60 smeasured 2026-09-30 / 10-01 (59 s and 58 s)
final, one 1920x1080 frame at 128 samplesabout 11 sthe estimator's baseline; heavy scenes take longer

render_estimate gives the number before rendering; once a scene has been rendered once, the estimate uses that scene's own measurement.

Free limits

Free beta (as of 2026-10-02): 10 GPU-minutes per key per day (20 per network), final renders up to 240 frames at 1080p. No sign-up: connecting creates a key. Inputs and results are deleted 24 hours after last use and never used for training. Paid plans will be announced on this site and in llms.txt before they start.

Claude Code and the desktop app

Claude Code (terminal) uses claude mcp add --transport http janction-render https://render.janction.jp/mcp or the stdio server for local files; see Claude Code + Blender. The Claude desktop and mobile apps share the connectors you add on claude.ai.

FAQ

Which Claude plans can add custom connectors?

Custom connectors are available on paid Claude plans (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise) as of October 2026; check Anthropic's help center for the current list.

Does Claude see the rendered image?

Yes. render_preview returns the image inline, so Claude can judge the camera, lighting and materials and fix the script before the final render.

Where do I get the MP4?

render_download returns links that need no key and work for about 24 hours. Open them in the browser or let Claude show them.
