SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires PyYAML, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Hermes can automate and orchestrate TouchDesigner workflows by interfacing with the twozero MCP bridge, enabling programmatic creation, wiring, and parameter control of operators without manual clicks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Seamless TD network automation: create operators, connect them, and set parameters through scripted MCP calls.
  • Local, secure control: operates entirely on localhost, enabling reproducible generative setups and multi-instance management.
  • Setup and dev tooling: provides a setup script to install and configure the MCP bridge and a reference for troubleshooting and patterns.

Quick Start

Run the setup script to install and configure the MCP bridge for TouchDesigner, then load Hermes and a TD project to begin automated wiring.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate TouchDesigner workflows to create and connect operators without manual clicks?

You can automate TouchDesigner workflows by integrating Hermes with the twozero MCP bridge to programmatically create, wire, and control operator parameters through scripted MCP calls, eliminating manual clicks.

Does TouchDesigner MCP support managing multiple TD instances for generative installations?

Yes, TouchDesigner MCP supports multi-instance management for generative installations. It operates entirely on localhost using a local MCP API, enabling reproducible setups and secure orchestration across single or multiple TD instances.

What is the setup process for connecting Hermes to the twozero MCP bridge in TouchDesigner?

The setup process involves running a provided setup script to install and configure the twozero MCP bridge for TouchDesigner. After installation, you load Hermes and a TD project to begin automated operator wiring and configuration.

Can I use Python to set operator parameters and execute scripts in a TouchDesigner network?

Yes, you can use Python to set operator parameters and execute scripts in a TouchDesigner network. The integration uses the TD Python API and specific commands like td_set_operator_pars and td_execute_python for orchestration.

What dependencies do I need to run TouchDesigner MCP for network wiring automation?

To run TouchDesigner MCP for network wiring automation, you need PyYAML installed. You also depend on the twozero MCP tooling, the TouchDesigner Python API, and proper Hermes configuration procedures.
