Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 101 stars · 1 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-verified entrypoint: echo 'Download Embody TOX from https://github.com/dylanroscover/Embody/tree/main/release'.

Main

  • Start with externalization: tag only the operators you care about so diffs stay clean and project open stays fast.

  • Enable Envoy when you’re ready for agent control; it exposes MCP tools for creating operators, wiring networks, setting parameters, and debugging errors.

  • Keep the MCP connection scoped to a repo/project root: Envoy can auto-generate .mcp.json when your project is in a git repo.

Source-backed notes

  • README Quick Start instructs downloading a release TOX and tagging operators via a keyboard shortcut to externalize.
  • README states Envoy runs on localhost (default 9870) and can auto-create .mcp.json in the repo root.
  • README includes an Envoy tools overview and links to a full tools reference in docs.

FAQ

  • Is it an npm/pip package?: No — README describes a TouchDesigner workflow using a .tox component.
  • Do I need git?: No — git is optional, but README notes .mcp.json auto-generation assumes a repo root.
  • Is the MCP server remote?: By default it’s local (localhost); treat it like local dev tooling and avoid exposing it publicly.
