About 3D Texel
3D Texel MCP server connects MCP clients to a library of 3D assets and generation tools. It supports searching and downloading assets, as well as generating PBR materials, HDRIs, and textures with account credits.
Key features
- 01Search and inspect 3D assets
- 02Download assets with an API key
- 03Generate PBR materials and HDRIs
- 04Generate AI textures
- 05Check generations and credit balance
Use cases
- 01Find materials, models, or HDRIs for a 3D scene
- 02Generate PBR materials for asset workflows
- 03Review generation status and available credits
MCP support
The server provides tools for searching, downloading, and generating assets through a remote Streamable HTTP endpoint or a local stdio bridge. An API key enables downloads, generation, and balance access.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project README3D Texel MCP server
Give Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Windsurf, Cline or any MCP client access to 3D Texel:
- Search and download 7,000+ assets: 1,600+ free CC0 handmade PBR materials, HDRIs, decals, 3D models, IES profiles, atlases and landscapes, plus 5,600+ AI assets (materials, HDRI skyboxes, decals, heightmaps, 4,000+ UE5/Mixamo animations, 3D models, alpha brushes).
- Generate seamless PBR materials (albedo, normal, roughness, height; 2K/4K/native 4K), true-HDR 360° HDRIs/skyboxes (2K/4K/8K) and AI textures with your 3D Texel credits.
- Safe by design: every paid action needs the price you accepted, each key has a daily credit cap, failed generations are refunded automatically, and the server can never pay: buying credits is a link you open yourself.
Remote server (recommended)
https://3dtexel.com/wp-json/3dtexel-api/v1/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Without a key: search, asset details and prices. With a key (header Authorization: Bearer tx_live_…, create it at https://3dtexel.com/api-keys/): downloads, generations, balance.
Local (stdio) bridge
Run it straight from this GitHub repository (the built dist/ is committed, nothing to compile):
{ "mcpServers": { "3dtexel": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "github:Gatyh/3dtexel-mcp"] } } }
The npm package
@3dtexel/mcpis coming soon. Until it is published, usegithub:Gatyh/3dtexel-mcpas shown here; once it is on npm,npx -y @3dtexel/mcpwill work the same way.
Connect your account once, without copying keys:
npx -y github:Gatyh/3dtexel-mcp login # shows a code, you approve on 3dtexel.com
npx -y github:Gatyh/3dtexel-mcp status
npx -y github:Gatyh/3dtexel-mcp logout # revokes the key
Or set TEXEL_API_KEY in the env block. The key is stored in your user config folder (%APPDATA%\3dtexel or ~/.config/3dtexel), never printed.
Tools
search_assets, get_asset, download_asset, list_generators, quote_generation, generate_pbr_material, generate_hdri, generate_texture, get_generation, list_generations, cancel_generation, get_balance, list_my_library, list_credit_packs, create_checkout_link.
Licenses: free assets are CC0 (public domain); AI/premium assets and generations use the 3DTexel License (commercial use allowed, credit 3DTexel, no resale of raw files, no AI training). REST API and OpenAPI: https://3dtexel.com/developers/
Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
