Embody puts your ideas on screen as fast as you can describe them. Operators, connections, parameters, the works. Want to try a different direction?
Connect Embody to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Embody puts your ideas on screen as fast as you can describe them. Operators, connections, parameters, the works. Want to try a different direction? Spin up a new approach in seconds. Compare attempts side by side. Branch off the one that. The embody mcp server is what makes that connection.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
create_op — Create any operator type in any networkset_parameter — Set values, expressions, or bind modes on any parameterconnect_ops — Wire operators togetherexecute_python — Run arbitrary Python in TD's main threadexport_network — Export networks to diffable .tdn YAMLcreate_extension — Scaffold a full extension (COMP + DAT + wiring)get_op_errors — Inspect errors on any operator and its childrenSetup — 1. Pick an AI assistant in the Setup Wizard — it opens on first install, or re-runSetup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Embody's toolset — create_op, set_parameter, connect_ops and 5 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by dylanroscover; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| create_op | Create any operator type in any network |
| set_parameter | Set values, expressions, or bind modes on any parameter |

| Setup | 1. **Pick an AI assistant in the [Setup Wizard](https://dylanroscover.github.io/Embody/embody/setup-wizard/)** — it opens on first install, or re-run it anytime (the **Setup Wizard** pulse on the Embody COMP). Prefer par |
