Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

3D 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.

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/mcp is coming soon. Until it is published, use github:Gatyh/3dtexel-mcp as shown here; once it is on npm, npx -y @3dtexel/mcp will 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3D Texel?

Search/download 7,000+ PBR materials, HDRIs, decals, 3D assets; generate PBR materials and HDRIs.

How do I install 3D Texel?

It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http 3d-texel 'https://3dtexel.com/wp-json/3dtexel-api/v1/mcp' --header 'Authorization: <Optional. "Bearer <API key>" from https://3dtexel.com/api-keys/ to download and generate. Search works without it.>'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.

Does 3D Texel need an API key?

Yes. It expects Authorization, which you set in its configuration.

Is 3D Texel open source?

Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.

Who maintains 3D Texel?

It is published by Gatyh. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.

From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
