What is the Spline MCP server?

Spline MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Spline directly instead of describing what you should do. An MCP server for working with Spline 3D design tool API.

What you get

This MCP server was built to programmatically control Spline.design 3D scenes through Claude. However, Spline does not offer a public REST API for scene manipulation. The ~130 tools that call api.spline.design target endpoints that don't exist and will fail with network errors.

  • Code API — — A client-side JavaScript runtime (@splinetool/runtime) that only works in a browser with a canvas element. It can manipulate objects in exported scenes but cannot create scenes or objects
  • Real-time API — — A feature inside the Spline editor for making outbound API calls from Spline to external services. Not an inbound API

What the assistant can call

Once Spline is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • Method — Description

Setting it up

The server ships on npm as npm, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Choosing this one

This sits in the browser automation group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Spline's toolset — Method — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by aydinfer; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Spline's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the spline mcp server does with a few real requests.
