Kiln Overview
The Kiln MCP server lets coding agents create and revise procedural 3D assets from JavaScript using geometry and material helpers. It runs locally through MCP, executes the generated program, returns multi-view renders and structural checks, and exports GLB files while retaining editable source. Reach for it when an agent needs an iterative 3D asset authoring workflow rather than a one-time mesh export. Kiln also provides a CLI, TypeScript SDK, local asset library, revision history, and optional dashboard.
Primary Use Cases for Kiln:
- Generate procedural props from coding-agent instructions
- Review geometry from multiple rendered angles
- Revise assets using editable source and anchored edits
- Export finished assets as GLB files
