Embody — TouchDesigner MCP Server for Node Networks

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.
