MCP.Pizza Chef: Pantani

You can describe any visual effect you want in plain language, and this tool builds a real TouchDesigner node network for you. It works with AI assistants like Claude Desktop and Cursor, creating playable, audio-reactive, and generative visuals with live controls. It previews the result and checks for errors, so you see your creation instantly. Setup is simple, often just one click or pasting a line into TouchDesigner.

README

MindDesigner (tdmcp) — TouchDesigner MCP server

CI Docs npm version Node.js MCP server License: MIT tdmcp MCP server

tdmcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for TouchDesigner — build TouchDesigner from plain language. You describe a visual to an AI assistant (Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex); the AI builds the actual network of nodes inside your project, checks it for errors, and shows you a preview.

"Create a feedback tunnel from noise with blur and displace, then add bloom and output it to a window."

…and the nodes appear, wired up, in your /project1.

It works because it pairs two things every other tool was missing:

  • Real knowledge — an embedded reference of 629 operators, 68 Python classes, workflow patterns, GLSL techniques and tutorials, so the AI uses real TouchDesigner operators instead of guessing.
  • Real execution — a small bridge running inside TouchDesigner that actually creates, connects, inspects and previews nodes — with a create → verify → preview loop so the AI can see and fix its own work. Every generated network is auto-arranged into a readable left→right layout.
