About Spline MCP Server

What is Spline MCP Server: 3D API Integration & Workflow Automation?

Spline MCP Server acts as a bridge between AI tools like Claude and the Spline 3D design platform. It enables developers to programmatically interact with Spline’s features—exporting/importing assets, animating objects, and managing projects—without manual GUI workflows. Think of it as your automation sidekick for 3D design tasks!

Key Features of Spline MCP Server: 3D API Integration & Workflow Automation?

Let’s break down what this powerhouse can do:

  • Format Flexibility: Export scenes to GLB, GLTF, FBX, or OBJ formats. For example, a game developer might automate GLB exports to integrate with Unity.
  • Animation Mastery: Create keyframe animations or trigger event-based effects like on-click object scaling. Imagine a marketing team automating hover effects for product demos.
  • Project Control: List all your scenes, fetch metadata, or import 3D models from URLs. Perfect for managing large-scale design libraries.

Spline MCP Server Features

How to use Spline MCP Server: 3D API Integration & Workflow Automation?

  1. Install with one command: Use npx spline-mcp-server for quick testing or npm install for production setups.
  2. Configure your keys: Create a .env file with your Spline API credentials. No excuses—this takes 30 seconds!
  3. Start automating: For example, trigger this command to export a scene:
    Export scene "abc123" to GLTF format

Use cases of Spline MCP Server: 3D API Integration & Workflow Automation?

Here’s where the magic happens in real workflows:

  • Game Asset Pipelines: Automatically export finalized scenes to game engines using scheduled scripts.
  • Interactive Prototypes: Create onClick animations for clickable 3D prototypes without touching the Spline interface.
  • Batch Processing: Mass-import client-provided models or generate reports on project progress.

Spline MCP Server FAQ

FAQ from Spline MCP Server: 3D API Integration & Workflow Automation?

  • Q: Do I need coding skills?
    A: Absolutely! This tool is designed for developers, but the API docs are user-friendly. Start with the official Spline docs.
  • Q: What formats are supported?
    A: Export to GLB, GLTF, FBX, and OBJ. Import any format Spline natively supports via URLs.
  • Q: Can I schedule animations?
    A: Not natively yet, but you can chain commands with cron jobs or task runners for automation.

Spline MCP Server

An MCP server for working with the Spline 3D design tool API. This server provides a convenient interface for Claude to interact with Spline's features, including exporting scenes, importing models, creating animations, and managing projects.

Features

Basic Operations

  • Export Spline scenes to various formats (GLB, GLTF, FBX, OBJ)
  • Import 3D models into Spline
  • Get details about Spline scenes
  • List available Spline scenes

Animation Capabilities

  • Create keyframe animations for objects
  • Trigger existing animations
  • List animations in a scene
  • Create event-triggered animations (onClick, onHover, etc.)

Installation

npm install spline-mcp-server

Or use it directly with npx:

npx spline-mcp-server

Configuration

Create a .env file with your Spline API credentials:

SPLINE_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
SPLINE_API_URL=https://api.spline.design

Usage

This MCP server can be used with Claude to interact with Spline's features. Here are some examples of how to use it:

Basic Operations

Export my Spline scene with ID "abc123" to GLB format



Import the 3D model from "https://example.com/model.glb" into my Spline project



Get details for my Spline scene with ID "abc123"



List my available Spline scenes

Animation Operations

Create an animation named "Rotate" for the cube object in my scene



Trigger the "Bounce" animation for the ball object



Create an onClick animation that makes an object move up when clicked



List all animations in my scene

Animation Examples

Creating a Simple Rotation Animation

Create an animation named "Spin" for object "cube-123" in scene "abc456" with keyframes for rotation

Creating an Event-Based Animation

Create an onClick animation named "Grow" for object "button-123" in scene "abc456" that scales the object to 1.5x its size

Triggering Animations

Trigger the "Pulse" animation for object "heart-123" in scene "abc456" with loop enabled
