How to Set Up and Use Spline
The Spline MCP server bridges Claude and the Spline 3D design tool, enabling AI-driven code generation for embedding and controlling Spline scenes in web applications. It exposes tools for generating working JavaScript, React, and Next.js integration code using the @splinetool/runtime library, covering object queries, event handling, variable management, and playback control. Developers use it to get instant, runnable code for adding interactivity to their Spline-powered 3D web experiences without manually consulting the runtime API.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 16 or later with npx available
- A Spline account and at least one published 3D scene (spline.design)
- The @splinetool/runtime npm package installed in your web project for runtime integration
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
Install the Spline MCP server
The server is distributed as an npm package and can be run directly via npx. No global install is required — Claude Desktop will invoke it on demand.
npx -y spline-mcp-serverAdd the server to Claude Desktop config
Open your Claude Desktop configuration file and add the spline entry under mcpServers. No API key or environment variables are required for the code generation tools.
{
"mcpServers": {
"spline": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "spline-mcp-server"]
}
}
}Publish your Spline scene and copy its URL
In the Spline editor, click the Export or Publish button and copy the public scene URL (e.g. https://prod.spline.design/your-scene-id/scene.splinecode). You will pass this URL to Claude when requesting integration code.
Restart Claude Desktop
Quit and reopen Claude Desktop so it recognizes the new MCP server. The spline server will start automatically when Claude first uses it.
Request integration code from Claude
Ask Claude to generate a React component, vanilla JS snippet, or Next.js page that loads your Spline scene. Provide the scene URL and describe any interactions you need (click handlers, variable updates, animations).
Spline Examples
Client configuration
Minimal claude_desktop_config.json entry for the Spline MCP server. No credentials are needed.
{
"mcpServers": {
"spline": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "spline-mcp-server"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example natural-language prompts for generating Spline runtime integration code.
- "Generate a React component that loads my Spline scene from https://prod.spline.design/abc123/scene.splinecode and emits a click event on the 'Button' object"
- "Write a Next.js page that embeds my Spline scene and toggles the visibility of an object named 'Panel' on button click"
- "Create vanilla JavaScript code that loads a Spline scene, finds an object by name, and updates its position on mouse hover"
- "Show me how to use setVariable to change a Spline scene variable called 'colorTheme' based on user input"Troubleshooting Spline
Generated code fails to load the scene in the browser
Ensure you have installed @splinetool/runtime in your project ('npm install @splinetool/runtime') and that your scene URL ends in .splinecode and is publicly accessible.
findObjectByName returns null for a known object
Object names are case-sensitive and must match exactly as set in the Spline editor. Open your scene in Spline and verify the exact name in the Layers panel, then re-run the Claude prompt with the corrected name.
The MCP server starts but Claude says no tools are available
Check that the args array uses '-y' before 'spline-mcp-server'. Restart Claude Desktop after editing the config. Run 'npx -y spline-mcp-server' in a terminal to confirm the package installs without errors.
