mordor-forge/trident-mcp

trident-mcp is a Go MCP server for AI-assisted 3D model generation and post-processing. It runs as a single stdio binary and currently uses the Tripo v3 API behind provider capability interfaces.
Quick Start
Build locally:
Run with a Tripo key:
One-command development bootstrap and smoke check:

Tool Overview
The server exposes tools for text/image/multiview 3D generation, image preparation, splats, async task polling, account balance and usage, file uploads, downloads, conversion, retopology, stylization, texture/refine/segment/complete workflows, rig checks, rigging, animation retargeting, and model/config inspection.
See docs/MCP_TOOLS.md for the full tool contract and known Tripo v3 quirks.
Development
The normal local gate is:
Live E2E tests require TRIPO_API_KEY and can spend credits when opt-in generation flags are set. See docs/OPERATIONS.md.
