tdmcp — TouchDesigner MCP server
Lets Claude build TouchDesigner node networks from plain language by pairing an MCP server with a Python bridge running inside TD. You get 279 tools spanning high-level generators (feedback networks, audio-reactive systems, particle galaxies) down to atomic node CRUD, parameter animation, and external IO (OSC, MIDI, DMX, NDI). The bridge executes on localhost:9980, creating and wiring operators in your project, then verifying and previewing the result so the model can iterate. Ships with an embedded knowledge base of 629 operators and 68 Python classes. Install via one-click mcpb for Claude Desktop or build from source for Cursor and other MCP clients. The bridge runs arbitrary Python in your TD process, so treat it like localhost admin access.

TDMCP_TOOL_PROFILEdefault: directoryTool exposure profile. Glama and MCP directory scanners use directory for a compact build/inspect surface; choose full for the complete installed runtime or safe to hide destructive/raw-code tools.
TDMCP_RAW_PYTHONdefault: offKeep client-authored Python escape-hatch tools hidden by default in registry scans; choose on only for a trusted local runtime.
