A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Sketchfab's 3D model platform. This MCP allows you to search, view details, and download 3D models from Sketchfab directly through Claude or Cursor.

- Node.js 18 or higher
- A Sketchfab API key (for authentication)
- Clone this repository
- Install dependencies:

npm install

To provide your Sketchfab API key, use the--api-keyparameter:

node build/index.js --api-key YOUR_API_KEY

Alternatively, you can set theSKETCHFAB_API_KEYenvironment variable:

export SKETCHFAB_API_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY npm start

Search for 3D models on Sketchfab based on keywords and filters.

- query(optional): Text search query (e.g., "car", "house", "character")
- tags(optional): Filter by specific tags (e.g., ["animated", "rigged", "pbr"])
- categories(optional): Filter by categories (e.g., ["characters", "architecture", "vehicles"])
- downloadable(optional): Set to true to show only downloadable models
- limit(optional): Maximum number of results to return (1-24, default: 10)

Get detailed information about a specific Sketchfab model.

- modelId: The unique ID of the Sketchfab model

- modelId: The unique ID of the Sketchfab model to download
- format(optional): Preferred format to download the model in (gltf, glb, usdz, source)
- outputPath(optional): Local directory or file path to save the downloaded file
- Go to Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new MCP server
- Configure your MCP:
