## What td does, in the publisher's words

Drive a live TouchDesigner session from Hermes Agent through 404.zero's free twozero plugin, which embeds an MCP server inside the running TouchDesigner process (Streamable HTTP on 127.0.0.1:40404).

This is a portable Agent Plugins v1 package. It ships two things in one install:

- mcp.json: the twozero MCP server entry (td), registered for every session while the plugin is enabled. No mcp_servers edits in config.yaml.
- skills/touchdesigner-mcp/: the workflow skill: critical rules, discovery steps, 20+ reference files (operators, GLSL, audio-reactive, instancing, pitfalls), and a scripts/setup.sh health check.

From the project README, punctuation lightly normalized. Full text: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NousResearch/hermes-plugin-touchdesigner/HEAD/README.md

## Skills

- touchdesigner-mcp: Control a running TouchDesigner instance via twozero MCP, create operators, set parameters, wire connections, execute Python, build real-time visuals. 36 native tools.

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.

## MCP servers

- td: transport: streamable-http; url: http://127.0.0.1:40404/mcp
