# Blender MCP Telemetry: What Is Collected and How to Opt Out

> Blender MCP collects anonymous usage data by default. Learn what is collected, how to disable it, and how to opt out completely.

Blender MCP collects anonymous usage telemetry by default to help improve the tool. Consent is on by default. You can turn it off at any time.

## What Is Collected

Telemetry is divided into two levels based on your consent setting.

**Anonymous usage counts (always collected):**

* Tool name
* Success or failure status
* Execution duration

**Full data (only when telemetry consent is enabled):**

* Prompts you send
* Code executed in Blender
* Viewport screenshots
* Scene data

All telemetry is anonymous. It is not linked to your name or account. Data may be used to improve Blender MCP, for research, and to train AI models.

## How to Disable

You have two ways to opt out.

### 1. In Blender

1. Open **Edit → Preferences → Add-ons**
2. Find **Blender MCP** under the **Interface** category
3. Uncheck the **Telemetry Consent** checkbox

### 2. Environment variable

Add `DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true` to your MCP client config:

```json theme={null}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "blender": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["blender-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "DISABLE_TELEMETRY": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}
```
