Authoring skill — object-level Houdini mutations: rename, duplicate, reparent, set display/render/template/bypass flags, hard-lock/unlock, and read/set translate-rotate-scale transforms. Use these typed tools instead of arbitrary Python for editing existing nodes. Not for creating nodes (use houdini-nodes) or scene lifecycle/selection (use houdini-scene-edit).

houdini-object-ops

Typed object-level edit tools for agents. All tools are affinity: main because they call hou. Prefer these over houdini-scripting.execute_python when editing nodes that already exist.

Tool groups

object-edit: rename_node, duplicate_node, parent_node, set_node_flags, set_node_lock.
object-transform: get_transform, set_transform (operate on OBJ-level t/r/s parm tuples).

Suggested flow

Find/select with houdini-scene-edit (find_nodes → set_selection)
get_transform → set_transform to position an object
set_node_flags / set_node_lock to control display and freeze state

For creating new nodes use houdini-nodes. On failure, load houdini-scripting and call get_session_info, or use gateway diagnostics when available.

houdini-render

dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-houdini

Pipeline skill — viewport capture/flipbook plus ROP render settings and render execution through typed, runtime-aware tools. Exports report written_files, elapsed time, and separate error/warning diagnostics without hanging the host. Pair with houdini-camera-light to set up cameras and lights first.

houdini-scene

dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-houdini

Scene skill — read-only inspection of the active Houdini hip file and node graphs. Use when you need frame range, hip path, object-level nodes, or node details. Not for creating geometry, sims, or exports — use authoring or interchange skills.

houdini-parameters

dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-houdini

Authoring skill — inspect and edit Houdini node parameters, parameter templates, spare parameters, and channel expressions through typed atomic tools. Use instead of arbitrary Python for reading/setting parms, adding spare parms, and managing expressions. For node connections use houdini-node-graph.

houdini-pipeline

dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-houdini

Pipeline skill — generic, adapter-owned project and shot/package automation: set/query the project root, tag and read portable asset metadata, validate a scene for missing files / bad output dirs / dirty state / cook errors, collect file dependencies into a manifest (no copying), and export a shot/package manifest (frame range, cameras, output nodes, caches, written files). No dependency on private production services.

houdini-scene-edit

dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-houdini

Scene-management skill — typed Houdini scene lifecycle (new/open/save with dirty-scene safeguards), selection (get/set/find), camera discovery, and bounding-box queries. Use these atomic tools instead of arbitrary Python for everyday scene navigation and file operations. Not for node authoring (use houdini-nodes) or geometry/transform edits (use houdini-object-ops).

dcc-mcp-houdini-setup

dcc-mcp/dcc-mcp-houdini

Set up dcc-mcp-houdini for an agent or operator: install Houdini Python dependencies with hython, generate MCP host configuration, guide the user through the Houdini package / 123.py autostart load step, and run a first live-tool smoke prompt.
