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.jsonwhen 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.jsonin 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.jsonauto-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.
