Install target: Trae (ByteDance AI IDE)

Status/confidence: Draft v0, linked-only

Recommended near-term install mode

Trae is ByteDance's AI IDE with native MCP support since v1.3.0. BlendOps install for Trae follows the same project-local pattern as other coding agents (write BLENDOPS.md per docs/install-scopes.md) plus optional MCP server config via Trae → Settings → MCP → Add Manually when the user wants Blender runtime through Trae.

For Blender execution, Trae acts as the MCP host (Path 1 host b — manual MCP, or Path 2 — community ahujasid/blender-mcp). It does not replace the Blender-side install.

Copy/paste prompt

Install BlendOps for Trae (ByteDance) using a reversible project-local approach.

Requirements:
- Treat Trae as project-local-first.
- Verify Trae-specific project paths before writing tool-native files.
- If unverified, use generic project-local fallback (BLENDOPS.md / AGENTS.md).
- For Blender runtime via Trae as MCP host:
  - Trae → Settings → MCP → Add Manually.
  - Provide JSON entry for Blender MCP server (Path 1 Lab MCP via .mcpb bundle, OR Path 2 ahujasid/blender-mcp via uvx).
  - Save and confirm the connection status; restart the Trae session if prompted.
  - Single-bridge constraint: do not run two Blender MCP servers concurrently against the same Blender instance.
- Do not install Blender, do not run Blender, do not configure connectors automatically.

Runtime status: Not Run.
Artifact status: Not Produced.

MCP host evidence (linked-only)

  • Trae IDE supports MCP servers natively from v1.3.0+. Source: https://docs.trae.ai/ide/add-mcp-servers.
  • MCP servers are added via Settings → MCP → Add Manually using the standard mcpServers JSON format.
  • Remote MCP servers are also supported (URL + headers / token).
  • Trae publishes a separate bytedance/trae-agent open-source project; this install doc covers the Trae IDE consumer only.
  • Compatible with Path 2 (ahujasid/blender-mcp) and Path 1 Lab MCP via manual config.
  • Single-bridge constraint applies.

Expected files/folders

  • Project-local BLENDOPS.md (generic fallback) when adapter path unverified.
  • Trae-managed MCP config (no project file written by BlendOps; the IDE owns the config storage).
  • No global system writes from BlendOps unless explicitly approved.

Example MCP config snippet (linked-only)

Local stdio:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["blender-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Remote (HTTP) form per upstream docs:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender-remote": {
      "url": "https://example.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Token": "your_access_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Path 1 Lab MCP: install the .mcpb bundle per blender.org/lab/mcp-server and reference its launcher instead of uvx blender-mcp.

Rollback notes

  • Remove BLENDOPS.md if BlendOps created it.
  • Trae → Settings → MCP → remove the Blender entry.
  • Restart the Trae session.

Runtime boundary

Skill install != runtime setup.

For Blender runtime via Trae as MCP host:

  • Path 1 (Lab MCP) — Blender 5.1+ + Lab add-on + Lab server. Anthropic Connector is Claude Desktop only.
  • Path 2 (community ahujasid/blender-mcp) — Blender 3.0+ + addon.py + uvx blender-mcp.
  • CLI fallback (appendix) — Documented upstream as a first-class Blender CLI surface (stable across LTS releases); no in-repo evidence file yet.

See docs/runtime-stack-strategy.md.

What not to claim

  • Native Trae BlendOps Skills loader (none exists yet beyond MCP).
  • That bytedance/trae-agent (the OSS project) is the same consumer as the Trae IDE — they are separate; this doc covers the IDE.
  • Runtime success without an evidence file.
  • Marketplace / plugin distribution for Trae.
