Touchdesigner Mcp Server
Drive TouchDesigner networks from Claude or Cursor so you can script visuals, installations, and live ops without leaving the agent chat.
Overview
TouchDesigner MCP Server is a MCP server for the Build phase that lets AI agents control and operate TouchDesigner projects over MCP.
What is this MCP server?
- Control and operate TouchDesigner projects via MCP (v1.2.0)
- Install via npx touchdesigner-mcp-server or bundled .mcpb release
- stdio transport for Claude Code–style local agent workflows
- Targets live visuals, installations, and interactive media pipelines
- Open source at github.com/8beeeaaat/touchdesigner-mcp
- Server version 1.2.0 in MCP registry
- npm package identifier touchdesigner-mcp-server
- Alternate mcpb release artifact for v1.2.0 on GitHub releases
Community signal: 361 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Live visual and installation work in TouchDesigner is slow to iterate when every operator change requires manual UI work outside your coding agent.
Who is it for?
Indie technical artists and builder-operators who already use TouchDesigner and want agent-driven control during build and rehearsal.
Skip if: Teams with no TouchDesigner license or projects that are pure static web with no TD pipeline.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can invoke TouchDesigner MCP tools so project changes and operations happen from the same session as your code and docs.
- MCP tools that control and operate TouchDesigner projects
- Agent-driven iteration on TD networks without sole reliance on the UI
- Repeatable stdio or mcpb-based install path for v1.2.0
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
TouchDesigner control is creative engineering work—you integrate the TD runtime while building experiential or live visual products. This MCP server bridges your agent to TouchDesigner project APIs, which is classic agent-tooling integration.
How it compares
TouchDesigner runtime MCP bridge, not a generic React UI skill or Unreal Engine plugin.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is touchdesigner-mcp-server for?
Solo builders and creators who use TouchDesigner for visuals or installations and want Claude Code or similar agents to operate TD projects through MCP.
When should I use touchdesigner-mcp-server?
Use it during build when you are wiring agent tooling, automating operator changes, or debugging live networks faster than the TD UI alone allows.
How do I add touchdesigner-mcp-server to my agent?
Add the npm stdio server (npx touchdesigner-mcp-server) or the v1.2.0 mcpb bundle to your MCP client config, ensure TouchDesigner is running with your project, then enable the tools and test a simple operator command.
