MCP
Connect an AI assistant to a running Houdini session—your license, your scene, and your local tools.
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.
