fxhoudinimcp

Active·★ 362·MIT·Updated 2026-10-20

fxhoudinimcp is the most comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for SideFX Houdini, offering 206 tools across 23 categories. It connects AI assistants like Claude directly to Houdini's Python API, enabling natural language control over various aspects of scene building, simulation, and rendering.

fxhoudinimcp sits in the Workflow Automation category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward Graph Intelligence for validated network building and verification.. A representative use case is Generate procedural assets like a rock generator with mountain displacement.. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 358. Relevant tags include Houdini, MCP.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
