Version Node License MCP Remote Server

An MCP server providing AI assistants with access to HISE documentation and optionally a live connection to your HISE instance for interactive development.

Quick Start

  • Browse code snippets and best practices

  • Search across all HISE documentation

  • Access development workflow guides

Option 2: Local Server (Full Features)

Clone and run locally to unlock HISE runtime tools for interactive development.

Requirements: Node.js 18+

Setup:

git clone https://github.com/christoph-hart/hise_mcp_server cd hise_mcp_server npm install npm run build

Then enable REST Server in HISE: Tools > Enable REST Server

Additional features:

  • Read/write scripts in real-time

  • Compile and see errors immediately

  • Capture UI screenshots

  • Manipulate components programmatically

  • AI-assisted UI layout workflows

  • Default port is 1900 (configurable via HISE_API_URL environment variable)

Tools not appearing in your AI assistant

  • Restart your MCP client after configuration changes
