A Very basic question

[deysurya]

Sorry for a dumb question. If addon.py is all we need to download to make this work, what is the use of blender_mcp/server.py. Where this script in running when I am using blender-mcp at my ,local Blender instance ?

[LeeDog2]

server.py is the source code for addon.py, addon.py is the compiled one

[txhno]

addon.py and server.py are different pieces.

• addon.py runs inside Blender as the addon
• src/blender_mcp/server.py runs as the MCP server process outside Blender

They talk to each other over the local socket connection.

So when you use Blender locally, the addon is in Blender, and the MCP server is the process started by your client config (for example uvx blender-mcp).
