Architecture Architecture Decisions Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) live in docs/adr/ : - ADR 0001: Language and Process Boundaries — why the server stays Python for hou semantics and the FastMCP gateway, the module boundaries and allowed dependency direction, and the measured thresholds that would justify a future non-Python sidecar. Features - 43 MCP tools across 15 modular categories - Full hou module access - Execute any Houdini Python code remotely - Scene management - Create, load, save scenes - Node operations - Create, delete, modify nodes and parameters - Rendering - Viewport renders, quad views, Karma GPU/CPU support - Pane screenshots - Capture NetworkEditor, SceneViewer, and other panes - Scene serialization - Diff scene states before/after operations - Connection management - Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff + jitter - Error handling - Consistent error responses with recovery hints - Response optimization - Size limits, truncation, AI summarization - In-memory caching - Node type cache with TTL for performance Prerequisites 1. Houdini with RPC enabled - Start Houdini's RPC server: - In Houdini: Windows Python Shell , then run: - Or add to your 123.py startup script for automatic startup 2. Network access - The MCP server must be able to reach Houdini's RPC p","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/oculairmedia","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/oculairmedia/houdini-mcp/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
