KeyShot MCP Overview

KeyShot MCP MCP server connects an MCP-compatible agent to local KeyShot headless scripting for saved-scene inspection, editing, previews, and renders. It can import models, apply materials, configure cameras and environments, save scene copies, and render selected or multiple views. Use it when an agent needs to work from saved .bip scenes without controlling the open KeyShot GUI. The tested setup uses Node.js 20+, a locally installed licensed KeyShot edition with headless scripting, and Windows 11 with KeyShot Studio 2025 or KeyShot 14.1.

Primary Use Cases for KeyShot MCP:
  • Inspect a saved KeyShot scene before editing
  • Apply a material to one selected object
  • Create previews for agent-assisted visual review
  • Render several saved camera views
