Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Version 0.5.0 | MCP Server for DAZ Studio

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes DAZ Studio operations to Claude and other MCP clients. Built on FastMCP and wraps the DazScriptServer HTTP plugin.

What Is This?

This MCP server allows Claude (via Claude Desktop or other MCP clients) to control DAZ Studio directly (at least these are the aspirational goals, not all of them are working just yet!):

Query scene information (figures, cameras, lights, spatial positions)
Read and modify node properties (transforms, morphs)
Discover and apply morphs, including searching by name pattern
Traverse and manipulate scene hierarchies (parent/child, skeleton)
Apply emotional expressions to characters
Coordinate multi-character interactions (look-at, reach-toward, hug, handshake)
Execute batch operations (set multiple properties in one call, 5-10x faster)
Control cameras and viewport (orbit, frame, presets)
Create keyframe animations and export as image sequences
Trigger synchronous or asynchronous renders with cancellation support
Apply professional lighting presets and cinematography composition rules
Browse and query the DAZ content library
Save and restore named scene checkpoints
Generate complete scenes from natural language descriptions
Create multi-camera shot sequences (orbit, push-in, shot-reverse-shot)
Choreograph animated conversations with dialogue beats
Record and replay operation macros for workflow automation
Execute arbitrary DazScript code
Access comprehensive DazScript documentation and examples

The server acts as a bridge: MCP Client ↔ vangard-daz-mcp ↔ DazScriptServer plugin ↔ DAZ Studio 4.5+ or 6.25+

Prerequisites

Before using this server, you need:

DAZ Studio installed and running — compatible with:
