What it does

Blender MCP Video is an agent skill from micky-li-hd/VideoCoCo. Use for Blender MCP or Blender CLI video-generation work, especially when rendering scripted Blender scenes, debugging MCP port 9876, checking why blender is not on PATH, generating direct MP4 output, or fixing Blender 5.x FFMPEG/mediatype render-setting errors. Also use for local PhyGenBench-Blender workflows that produce Blender videos from specs.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production, MCP servers and AI video generation. It works with Blender, Model Context Protocol and FFmpeg. The repository describes itself as: Code-as-CoT for Physically-Consistent Video Generation via an Agentic Dual-Engine System.

When your agent uses it

  • Blender CLI video-generation work
  • Especially when rendering scripted Blender scenes
  • Debugging MCP port 9876
  • Checking why blender is not on PATH

Example prompts

  • “/blender-mcp-video”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Call get_scene_info once to confirm the GUI Blender connection.
  2. Use execute_blender_code for small chunks; avoid sending large unverified scripts all at once.
  3. For generated scripts, first run only setup code or a still-frame render.
  4. Use get_viewport_screenshot only as a quick view; if it returns black, render a still camera frame to disk and inspect that image.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4afce26. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • ffmpeg
    • python

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Blender MCP Video loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 377 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 377 words (~1,113 tokens).
