Talk to Houdini.

Houdini MCP exposes focused tools for simulation, viewport capture, rendering, node operations, parameters, animation, geometry, cache, and undo. A local TCP bridge talks to Houdini’s Python API and can launch a headless hython session when the GUI is not running.

An optional local documentation corpus makes tens of thousands of Houdini pages and example patterns searchable from the same workflow.
