💬 Embody

Create at the speed of thought.

Full Documentation | Manifesto | Changelog

Embody puts your ideas on screen as fast as you can describe them. Operators, connections, parameters, the works. Want to try a different direction? Spin up a new approach in seconds. Compare attempts side by side. Branch off the one that works. The tool keeps up with you, instead of the other way around.

Three Tools, One Idea

Envoy — forward velocity. An embedded MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf talk directly to your live TouchDesigner session. Create operators, wire them up, set parameters, write extensions, debug errors — by saying what you want. No copy-pasting code. No describing your network in chat. Idea → operators in seconds.

Embody — lateral velocity. Tag any operator and Embody externalizes it to files on disk that mirror your network hierarchy. Try a new direction, branch off a good one, restore the state from yesterday — all in seconds. Your externalized files are the source of truth, so every project opens already in flow.

TDN — the substrate that makes both possible. TouchDesigner networks exported as human-readable JSON. The format is what lets your AI agent understand what's on the screen, what lets you diff one attempt against another, and what lets a network reconstruct itself from text on the next project open. TDN is what makes the rest of this possible.

	What	Why it matters
🤖	Envoy MCP Server	47 tools let your AI assistant build, wire, parameterize, and debug live networks. The first time you watch it happen, you stop typing operator names by hand for good.
📄	TDN Network Format	Networks become text. Diff two versions, revisit any version, hand an LLM a complete picture of what's on screen — all from a single `.tdn` file.
📦	Automatic Restoration	Externalized operators rebuild themselves from disk on every project open. The `.toe` is no longer the source of truth — your files are.
📤	Portable Tox Export	Pull any COMP out as a self-contained `.tox` with external references stripped. Ship a piece of your project anywhere.

Quick Start

1. Project Setup

Embody writes externalized files relative to your .toe location — no special folder structure required. Embody works in any project folder; if you happen to use git, every change is also a clean diff for free.

my-project/              ← project folder (optionally a git repo)
├── my-project.toe       ← your TouchDesigner project
├── base1/               ← externalized operators
│   ├── base2.tox        ← COMP (TOX strategy)
│   ├── base3.tdn        ← COMP (TDN strategy — diffable JSON)
│   └── text1.py         ← DAT
└── ...

2. Install and Tag

Download the Embody .tox from /release and drag it into your TouchDesigner project
Tag operators — select any COMP or DAT and press lctrl twice to tag and externalize it
Work normally — press ctrl + shift + u to update all externalizations, or ctrl + alt + u to update only the current COMP. On project open, Embody restores everything from disk automatically

Tip: If no operators are tagged, Embody will externalize all eligible COMPs and DATs, whi
