3D Asset Server: Let Claude Find and Download 3D Models From 23 Sites at Once
One free, open-source tool that lets Claude search 23 sites of 3D models, textures and HDRI skies, and save the files into your project. How to set it up in one command, a prompt to try, and the catch
3D Asset Server searches 23 asset sites at once (Poly Haven, ambientCG, BlenderKit, Kenney, Quaternius, Sketchfab, itch.io and more) and downloads what you pick, ready to drop into a game or a website. Claude drives it over MCP: it searches, shows you the options with their licences, and saves the files into your project's assets/ folder. Open source, Apache-2.0.
Set it up
- Fastest, no key: in your terminal run claude mcp add --transport http 3d-assets https://3d.shep.bot/mcp
- Over the public server, Claude gets direct file URLs and a one-click zip for each asset (it does not write to your disk).
- To have Claude save files straight into your project: git clone https://github.com/arielshad/3d-asset-server.git, then npm install and npm run build (Node.js 20 or newer).
- Then add it locally: claude mcp add 3d-assets -e ASSET_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$PWD/assets" -- node /path/to/3d-asset-server/dist/cli.js mcp
- No Claude handy? The same search runs in the browser at https://3d.shep.bot
I need a low-poly tree pack, a mossy rock material and a sunset HDRI for my Three.js scene. Use the 3d-assets tools: show me the free options with their licences, then download the ones I pick into ./assets and tell me if any need a credit line.
