Touchdesigner Mcp Server
Bridges Claude to TouchDesigner's WebServer DAT so you can create, modify, and delete nodes through natural language. You get eleven tools covering the full lifecycle: spawn operators, wire connections, update parameters, execute arbitrary Python scripts inside TD, and query node properties or project structure. The prompts handle fuzzy node search and recursive error checking across the node tree. If you're prototyping generative visuals or need an AI to scaffold TouchDesigner networks on the fly, this gives you programmatic control without leaving the chat. Version checking enforces semantic compatibility between the MCP server and the TD component, so mismatched installs fail fast with upgrade instructions.

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.
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
