01 · Install KeyShot MCP
before you install - you'll need
Set KEYSHOT_HEADLESS_EXE before connecting.
Claude Code
claude mcp add truman-t3-keyshot-mcp -- npx -y keyshot-mcp Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"truman-t3-keyshot-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"keyshot-mcp"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
Using another client? Same JSON, different key

With this server connected, an agent can read a temporary or saved PNG directly to the Agent for visual review, copy the newest saved scene safely, detect changes, and return a preview, list scene metadata, objects, cameras, materials, model sets, and references, and read saved camera names before a selected-camera render.
How do I install KeyShot MCP?
Run `npx -y keyshot-mcp`. The README documents one environment variable (KEYSHOT_HEADLESS_EXE) to set first. Set KEYSHOT_HEADLESS_EXE before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does KeyShot MCP run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
