Stable Fast 3D Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides tools to generate 3D models from images using Stability AI's Stable Fast 3D API.

Features

• Generate 3D models from images: Convert any 2D image into a high-quality 3D GLB file
• Customizable parameters: Control texture resolution, mesh complexity, and more
• Base64 support: Generate from base64-encoded images for programmatic use
• Credit balance check: Monitor your Stability AI account balance

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• A Stability AI API key (get one at https://platform.stability.ai/account/keys)

Installation

1. Clone or download this repository:

cd mcp-stable-fast-3d

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -e .

3. Set your Stability AI API key as an environment variable:

Windows (PowerShell):

$env:STABILITY_API_KEY = "sk-your-api-key-here"

Windows (Command Prompt):

set STABILITY_API_KEY=sk-your-api-key-here

Linux/macOS:

export STABILITY_API_KEY="sk-your-api-key-here"

Usage

Running the Server

python server.py

Or using the installed command:

mcp-stable-fast-3d

Configuring with Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration file (claude_desktop_config.json):

Using uvx from GitHub (recommended - no installation required):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stable-fast-3d": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/rikturnbull/mcp-stable-fast-3d", "mcp-stable-fast-3d"],
      "env": {
        "STABILITY_API_KEY": "sk-your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using local installation with Python:

Windows:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stable-fast-3d": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["C:\\path\\to\\mcp-stable-fast-3d\\server.py"],
      "env": {
        "STABILITY_API_KEY": "sk-your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

macOS/Linux:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "stable-fast-3d": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-stable-fast-3d/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "STABILITY_API_KEY": "sk-your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuring with VS Code (GitHub Copilot)

Add to your VS Code settings.json or create .vscode/mcp.json in your project:

Using uvx from GitHub (recommended):

{
  "servers": {
    "stable-fast-3d": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/rikturnbull/mcp-stable-fast-3d", "mcp-stable-fast-3d"],
      "env": {
        "STABILITY_API_KEY": "sk-your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Using local virtual environment:

{
  "servers": {
    "stable-fast-3d": {
      "command": "c:\\path\\to\\mcp-stable-fast-3d\\.venv\\Scripts\\python.exe",
      "args": ["c:\\path\\to\\mcp-stable-fast-3d\\server.py"],
      "env": {
        "STABILITY_API_KEY": "sk-your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

generate_3d_model

Generate a 3D model (GLB file) from a 2D image file.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
image_path	string	Yes	-	Path to input image (JPEG, PNG, or WebP)
output_path	string	No	Same as input with .glb extension	Path for output GLB file
texture_resolution	string	No	"1024"	Texture resolution: "512", "1024", or "2048"
foreground_ratio	float	No	0.85	Padding ratio (0.1 to 1.0)
remesh	string	No	"none"	Remeshing: "none", "quad", or "triangle"
vertex_count	int	No	-1	Target vertex count (-1 for no limit)

Example:

Generate a 3D model from the image at C:\images\cat-statue.png with high resolution textures

generate_3d_model_from_base64

Generate a 3D model from a base64-encoded image.

Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
image_base64	string	Yes	-	Base64-encoded image data
image_format	string	Yes	-	Image format: "jpeg", "png", or "webp"
output_path	string	Yes	-	Path for output GLB file
texture_resolution	string	No	"1024"	Texture resolution
foreground_ratio	float	No	0.85	Padding ratio
remesh	string	No	"none"	Remeshing algorithm
vertex_count	int	No	-1	Target vertex count

check_api_balance

Check your Stability AI account credit balance.

API Costs

• Stable Fast 3D: 10 credits per successful generation
• Failed generations are not charged

Input Image Guidelines

For best results:

• Use images with a clear, well-lit subject
• The object should be centered in the frame
• Clean backgrounds work better
• Image dimensions should be between 64×64 and 2048×2048 pixels
• Total pixel count must be between 4,096 and 4,194,304 pixels

Output Format

The generated 3D model is saved as a GLB file (glTF Binary), which includes:

• 3D mesh geometry
• Albedo (color) texture map
• Normal texture map

GLB files can be viewed in:

• Windows 3D Viewer
• Blender
• Unity/Unreal Engine
• Most modern web browsers (with appropriate viewers)

Error Handling

The server handles common errors:

• Missing API key
• Invalid image formats
• API rate limiting (150 requests per 10 seconds)
• File not found errors
• Network timeouts
