TouchDesigner MCP Server

What it does

This server connects AI assistants to the vast ecosystem of TouchDesigner, providing real-time access to documentation for over 630 operators, 69 Python API classes, and 14 detailed tutorials. It enables LLMs to accurately suggest operator parameters, write functional Python scripts for the TouchDesigner textport, and design complex visual networks without hallucinating outdated version data.
