Boris FX Silhouette MCP Server
MCP server built into Boris FX Silhouette, the professional VFX and post-production compositing application. Lets AI assistants work directly inside Silhouette projects using the FX Scripting API as first-class MCP tools. Assistants can inspect projects, build node trees, edit shapes and keyframes, and render frames. Supports interactive online mode connected to an active session and offline headless mode for automation, batch processing, and large-scale workflows. A new preferences panel simplifies setup by installing the MCP package, generating client configuration, and testing the connection. Announced at SIGGRAPH July 20, 2026 alongside NVIDIA agentic AI creative ecosystem updates.
