How to run each
texel
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
BlenderLens As a local MCP server: npm package
claude mcp add --env "BLENDERLENS_TOKEN=<YOUR_BLENDERLENS_TOKEN>" --transport stdio blenderlens -- npx -y blenderlens-mcpRequires: BLENDERLENS_TOKEN (secret)
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
Neither one's marketplaces publish a list of tools, so there is nothing to compare.
Settings each asks for
