MCP Socket 2.4.0

Offscreen render

render_offscreen renders to a file without opening the render window:

• mode viewport — fast OpenGL render of the current 3D view (no overlays/gizmos in the output)
• mode camera — full scene-engine render (Eevee/Cycles as configured) from the scene camera; Cycles renders can be slow, bridge timeout is 180 s

Output path/format follow the file extension (png/jpg/webp/bmp/tga/exr), resolution and percent are overridable per call. scene.render settings are saved and always restored — a render via the bridge never leaks settings into the scene (Blender 5.2 media_type VIDEO quirk handled).

Also: Render sub-panel in the N-panel (offscreen button), the handler is the 16th native MCP tool of mcp_server/server.py.

Zip install (Get Extensions → Install from Disk). Updating from 2.2.x/2.3.x in place — port, protocol and preferences unchanged.
