Unofficial Rust tooling for the Tripo 3D Generation API. Turn a text prompt, a single image, or a few multi-view photos into a 3D model — then convert formats, re-texture, rig, retarget animations, segment meshes, and more.

This repo ships three things, layered on one another:

• tripo-api — an async Rust SDK. Use it from a Rust app or service.
• tripo-cli — a tripo CLI built on the SDK. Use it from a shell or script.
• tripo-mcp — an MCP server built on the SDK. Use it to hand the API to Claude Code or any other MCP-aware agent.

Pick the one that fits how you want to call it. The SDK covers every operation; the CLI and MCP server are thin, complete wrappers over it.

use tripo_api::{Client, TaskRequest, TextToModelRequest, WaitOptions};

let client = Client::new()?;                  // reads TRIPO_API_KEY
let id = client.create_task(TaskRequest::TextToModel(TextToModelRequest {
    prompt: "a red robot".into(),
    ..Default::default()
})).await?;
let task = client.wait_for_task(&id, WaitOptions::default()).await?;
client.download_task_models(&task, "./out".as_ref(), Default::default()).await?;

export TRIPO_API_KEY=tsk_...
tripo text-to-model --prompt "a red robot" --output ./out
tripo image-to-model --image ./photo.jpg --output ./out
tripo rig-model --original-model-task-id <id> --rig-type biped --spec mixamo

See the CLI README for the full command list and exit codes.

Every Tripo operation shows up as an MCP tool. Drop this into your client config and your agent can generate 3D assets directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tripo": {
      "command": "tripo-mcp",
      "env": { "TRIPO_API_KEY": "tsk_..." }
    }
  }
}

See the MCP README for the full tool list and annotation hints.

Pre-built binaries for Linux (x86_64, aarch64), macOS (x86_64, aarch64), and Windows x86_64 are attached to each release.

From source:

cargo install --path crates/tripo-cli    # tripo
cargo install --path crates/tripo-mcp    # tripo-mcp

Get an API key from the Tripo platform — it needs to start with tsk_.
