TouchDesigner MCP
This is an implementation of an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for TouchDesigner. Its goal is to enable AI agents to control and operate TouchDesigner projects.
English / 日本語
Overview
TouchDesigner MCP acts as a bridge between AI models and the TouchDesigner WebServer DAT, enabling AI agents to:
- Create, modify, and delete nodes
- Query node properties and project structure
- Programmatically control TouchDesigner via Python scripts
Installation
Please refer to the Installation Guide.
If you are updating, please refer to the procedure in the Latest Release.
MCP Server Features
This server enables AI agents to perform operations in TouchDesigner using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Tools
Tools allow AI agents to perform actions in TouchDesigner.
