Blender MCP support?

[Jbollenbacher]

Pre-Flight checklist

• Did you check to see if this issue already exists?
• This is a single feature request. (Do not put multiple feature requests in one issue)

Describe The Feature Request Below

Would there be community interest in supporting blender MCP in ucupaint? https://projects.blender.org/lab/blender_mcp

I think this would involve adding a small public automation API, including functions like

• Creating channels, layers, and masks
• Updating, moving, and removing them
• Baking and exporting
• Inspecting ucupaint's internal data objects

The goal would be an api.py module that provides an external-facing interface for things like MCP, pipeline scripts, and other add-ons.

Would this be useful and within scope for Ucupaint? If so, I might try to draft a PR. It would probably need a companion PR on blender_mcp, which I would also draft.

Sorry for the slow response.

Interesting suggestion, I'm okay with an API, but inspecting internal ucupaint data can be really tricky. It's because ucupaint is just using Blender property system, but with many workarounds to match the data to the node input values. The reason for those is so ucupaint can work with Blender keyframes and drivers, and it can be prone to inconsistencies or errors if it's not handled with care.

Tbh, I'm not familiar with MCP in general, if you can show me how will it look like in ucupaint, please show me.
