Blender 4.2.2 and I cannot for the life of me get this to install. I have tried so many different ways. I have paid for the MCP Pro. No matter how many times i install it it never shows up to enable and use. Any chance of getting some help to install please?
Hi Jdavz — really sorry, this is a packaging bug on our side, not anything you did. The ZIP we shipped had a nested folder layout that Blender's "Install from Disk" couldn't recognize, which is why the addon never appeared in your add-ons list. I just pushed **v1.3.2** which fixes it.
**What to do:**
1. Re-download the latest ZIP from your itch.io download page — it should be `blender-mcp-pro-v1.3.2-itch.zip`.
2. Extract it. Inside you'll see:
- `blender_mcp_pro.zip` ← **this is the addon**
- `server/`
- `README.md`
3. In Blender 4.2.2: **Edit > Preferences > Add-ons** → click the dropdown (▾) at the top right → **Install from Disk…** → select **`blender_mcp_pro.zip`** (the inner one, NOT the outer download).
4. Tick the checkbox next to "Blender MCP Pro" to enable it.
5. Open the 3D Viewport sidebar (press **N**) → **BM Pro** tab → **Start Server**.
After that, on the MCP server side: `pip install -r server/requirements.txt` and add the server to your MCP client config as in the README. Happy to walk you through that step too once the addon is enabled — just reply here with which client you're using (Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor / Windsurf).
Thanks for your patience and for purchasing — this should have just worked.
