Cartwheel MCP Gives 3D Agents Motion
Cartwheel MCP connects AI assistants to Cartwheel’s 3D animation API, enabling character generation, auto-rigging, text-to-motion, motion editing, and video-based performance capture. The open-source local server integrates with Blender and other MCP clients.
Cartwheel addresses a real weakness in agent-built 3D scenes: models can create geometry, but believable movement still requires specialized tooling.
- –Generates rigged characters from text or images, then animates them through agent-callable workflows
- –Supports text-driven motion, constrained paths, poses, looping, stitching, and motion analysis
- –Comic 4 can capture up to four performers from video, including facial animation
- –Blender examples and Three.js workflows make the repository more practical than a bare API wrapper
- –The main friction is operational: users need a Cartwheel API-enabled plan, project key, and credits for generation
