Meshy 3D Agent

AI agent skills for the Meshy AI 3D generation platform. Enables AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, OpenClaw) to generate 3D models, textures, images, rig characters, animate them, and prepare models for 3D printing — no MCP server required.

How It Works

These are pure Markdown skills — no server, no dependencies, no build step. Your AI assistant reads the skill files and gains the ability to interact with the Meshy API directly using shell commands and Python scripts.

Skills

meshy-3d-generation (core)

Full 3D generation lifecycle: API key setup, task creation, polling, downloading, and multi-step pipelines.

Capability	Description	Credits
Text to 3D	Generate 3D models from text descriptions	20-30
Image to 3D	Convert single or multiple images to 3D	20-30
Retexture	Apply new textures to existing models	10
Remesh	Change topology, polycount, or export format	5
Auto-Rigging	Add skeleton to humanoid characters (includes walking + running)	5
Animation	Apply custom animations to rigged characters	3
Text to Image	Generate 2D images from text	3-9
Image to Image	Transform existing images	3-9

meshy-3d-printing (optional)

3D printing workflow: slicer detection, white model printing, multicolor printing via API.

Capability	Description	Credits
White Model Print	Generate → OBJ download → coordinate fix → slicer launch	20
Multicolor Print	Generate → texture → multi-color API → 3MF → slicer launch	35
Slicer Detection	Auto-detect 7 slicers: OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio, Creality Print, Elegoo Slicer, Anycubic Slicer Next, PrusaSlicer, UltiMaker Cura	0
Printability Check	Manual checklist review (automated API coming soon)	0

The printing skill depends on the generation skill's script template and environment setup.

meshy-openclaw (OpenClaw / ClawHub)

A single unified skill for the OpenClaw ecosystem. Combines generation + printing into one file, with OpenClaw-compatible metadata.clawdbot frontmatter and a full SECURITY MANIFEST.

Capability	Description	Credits
All generation	Text/Image to 3D, Retexture, Remesh, Rig, Animate, Text/Image to Image	3–30
3D printing	White model (OBJ) + multicolor (3MF via API) + slicer detection	0–35

Designed for ClawHub publishing. API key is stored only in .env in the current working directory — no shell profile access.

Quick Install

One command to install all skills:

npx skills add meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent

Then set your API key (pick any method below):

Or simply start using the skill — when the agent loads it, it will detect that no API key is configured, ask you for it, and set it up automatically.

<details> <summary>macOS / Linux</summary>

Option A: Global (recommended) — add to your shell profile so it persists across sessions:

nano ~/.zshrc

Add this line at the end, save and exit (Ctrl+O, Enter, Ctrl+X):

export MESHY_API_KEY="msy_YOUR_API_KEY"

Then reload:

source ~/.zshrc

Option B: Project-local — create a .env file in your project root:

echo 'MESHY_API_KEY=msy_YOUR_API_KEY' > .env

Remember to add .env to your .gitignore to avoid committing your key.

</details> <details> <summary>Windows</summary>

Option A: Permanent (recommended) — set via System Environment Variables:

setx MESHY_API_KEY "msy_YOUR_API_KEY"

Restart your terminal after running this command.

Option B: Current session only:

$env:MESHY_API_KEY = "msy_YOUR_API_KEY"

Option C: Project-local — create a .env file in your project root:

MESHY_API_KEY=msy_YOUR_API_KEY

</details>

Prerequisites

• A Meshy API key (get one here — requires Pro plan or above)
• Python 3 with requests package (pip install requests)

Manual Installation

<details> <summary>OpenClaw</summary>

Option A: Via ClawHub

npx clawhub install meshy-dev/meshy-3d-agent

Option B: Manual — copy the skills/meshy-openclaw/ folder to your OpenClaw skills directory.

Skill vs MCP Server

Feature	Agent Skill (this repo)	MCP Server
Setup	Copy Markdown files	npx meshy-mcp-server
Dependencies	Python 3 + requests	Node.js >= 18
How it works	AI reads instructions, makes API calls directly	Dedicated server process with structured tools
IDE support	Amp, Cline, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode and 20+ more	Any MCP-compatible client
File management	Via skill instructions	Built-in auto-save with project folders

Both approaches provide the same Meshy API capabilities. Choose based on your preference and setup.
