Best Houdini MCP Servers
Houdini is a 3D animation software developed by SideFX, known for its advanced procedural generation capabilities, visual effects tools, and simulation technologies used in film, TV, and game production.
Why this server?
Allows rendering, inspecting, and diagnosing OpenMoonRay scenes through Houdini's husk and HdMoonrayRendererPlugin, including launching the interactive viewer, validating scenes, and managing batch renders.
AlicenseBqualityCmaintenanceEnables MCP-compatible clients to render, inspect, and diagnose OpenMoonRay scenes through a local MoonRay runtime, with support for interactive viewing, scene validation, and render comparisons.25Apache 2.0Why this server?
Controls SideFX Houdini via MCP, providing tools for scene management, node operations, parameters, rendering, geometry, PDG/TOPs, USD/Solaris, HDAs, animation, VEX, DOPs, viewport, COPs, CHOPs, takes, cache, and more through Houdini's Python API.
AlicenseAqualityBmaintenanceDrive SideFX Houdini from any agent: build node networks in one all-or-nothing call, cook, render, capture the viewport, and read the offline docs of your Houdini build. 20 tools with modes.20360 PyPI13MITWhy this server?
Allows controlling SideFX Houdini from Claude via Model Context Protocol, enabling creation and modification of nodes, executing code, and more.
AlicenseBqualityDmaintenanceConnects SideFX Houdini to Claude via the Model Context Protocol, enabling node creation, modification, and code execution through natural language.3MITWhy this server?
Enables AI agents to inspect and drive a running Houdini application's Qt-based UI: find widgets by meaning, take screenshots, record GIFs, click/type/press keys, inspect widget trees and properties, and route requests to multiple running Houdini instances.
AlicenseBqualityAmaintenanceEnables an AI agent to find, screenshot, GIF-record and drive Qt widgets inside running Qt applications and DCCs such as Houdini, Blender, Maya and Nuke, working across PySide6, PyQt6, PySide2 and PyQt5. It routes one agent connection to many applications at once, offering semantic widget search, widget-tree inspection, clicking/typing, and per-window or per-panel captures.301Apache 2.0Why this server?
Provides tools for working with SideFX Houdini, including direct Python access, managing multiple Houdini sessions (GUI and headless), building scenes, and organizing renders, caches, and captures in managed folders.
AlicenseNot gradedqualityBmaintenanceEnables MCP clients to connect to multiple SideFX Houdini 22 sessions, including GUI and headless, to build, render, cache, and verify scenes against reference images.MITWhy this server?
Monitors Houdini simulations and provides thermal status and emergency throttling capabilities.
AlicenseCqualityDmaintenanceProvides AI agents with real-time system monitoring and control for creative workstations, enabling thermal management and process prioritization to prevent crashes.101MITWhy this server?
Drives a live Houdini session, providing tools for Solaris/LOP workflows, scene inspection, cooking, viewport capture, and code execution.
AlicenseCqualityCmaintenanceEnables MCP clients to drive a live Houdini session over TCP, supporting scene inspection, cooking, rendering, and code execution in Houdini 22.821MITWhy this server?
Provides tools for interacting with SideFX Houdini, enabling AI agents to create and manipulate 3D scenes, simulations, renderings, and more through Houdini's Python API.
AlicenseCqualityAmaintenanceComprehensive MCP server for SideFX Houdini, offering 168 tools across 19 categories to enable natural-language control of scene building, simulation, rendering, and more via AI assistants.216772 PyPI380MITWhy this server?
Allows AI agents to interact with SideFX Houdini for 3D scene management, node graph editing, material creation, geometry manipulation, error scanning, and more.
AlicenseCqualityBmaintenanceA Houdini MCP server fork for CsrLib-Houdini workflow, providing enhanced tools for scene management, node discovery, graph editing, and safe code execution with tiered security policies.1001MIT
