SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

This Skill bridges the gap between natural language AI agents and the complex, node-based environment of TouchDesigner, allowing you to build real-time generative visuals without manually navigating the network editor.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Native MCP Integration: Execute 36 specialized tools to create operators, wire connections, and set parameters programmatically.
  • Context-Aware Building: The agent understands your current network focus, selected operators, and project state to make intelligent modifications.
  • Use Case: Rapidly prototype audio-reactive GLSL shaders or complex 3D lighting rigs by describing the desired visual effect to the agent, which then handles the node creation and parameter tuning.

Quick Start

Use the touchdesigner-mcp skill to create a noise TOP connected to a null TOP in the project1 network.

Frequently Asked Questions about touchdesigner-mcp

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate TouchDesigner operator creation using natural language?▼

AI agents connect to TouchDesigner via MCP to execute Python API commands, enabling automated creation of operators, parameter management, and network wiring for real-time generative art without manual node editing.

What is needed to connect an AI agent to TouchDesigner for real-time visual generation?▼

Connecting an AI agent requires a running TouchDesigner instance with the twozero.tox plugin configured on port 40404 to enable bidirectional communication and automated tool execution.

Can I build audio-reactive visuals in TouchDesigner through AI prompts?▼

Yes, you can build audio-reactive visuals by describing the desired effect to an AI agent, which then handles node creation, GLSL shader prototyping, and parameter tuning using specialized MCP tools.

How does context-aware building work when generating TouchDesigner networks?▼

Context-aware building allows the agent to understand your current network focus, selected operators, and project state, ensuring intelligent modifications when creating real-time generative visual networks.

Are there limitations when using MCP to control TouchDesigner instances?▼

The primary limitation is the dependency on a live environment; the MCP interface requires a running TouchDesigner instance with the twozero.tox plugin on port 40404 to execute its 36 specialized tools.
