Overview

AI-generated overview

Unofficial MCP server for the Tripo 3D API that lets an assistant generate, texture, rig, animate and convert 3D models, saving results to disk.

What you can do
  • Generate meshes from text, a single image or multiple views, plus reference images and multiview sets
  • Texture, retopologize, UV-unwrap, segment, rig, animate and convert meshes, and produce Gaussian splats
  • Create tasks that return a task_id, wait for them with progress notifications, and save outputs such as GLB, FBX and rendered images into a per-task output folder
  • Chain steps by passing one task's task_id as the next tool's input, for example image to mesh to rig to animation to FBX
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to produce or post-process 3D assets through Tripo's hosted API, such as game-ready props, textured or rigged characters, or format conversions, without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Runs as a local process over stdio, shipped as a Go binary or a Docker image; a Tripo API key in TRIPO_API_KEY is required, and MODEL_OUTPUT_DIR sets where files are written (default ~/generated_models). TRIPO_BASE_URL can point at the China-region endpoint. Network access to the Tripo API is needed.
Before you install
Requires a Tripo API key (TRIPO_API_KEY) that must be kept private; Tripo tasks consume credits, and the README notes that quoted credit prices are dated summaries while Tripo's pricing page is authoritative. Local files are uploaded to Tripo, generated models are written to disk, and ownership of generated models depends on your Tripo plan. Hosting a shared deployment needs Tripo's written authorization.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Trident (Tripo 3D) in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

README

trident-mcp

[Go] [License]

An unofficial MCP server for the Tripo 3D API that covers every documented, deployed v3 workflow. A few endpoints are deliberately left out; they are listed in docs/MCP_TOOLS.md. Agents can:

  • generate meshes from text, one image or several views;
  • make reference images and multiview sets;
  • texture, retopologize, UV-unwrap, segment, rig, animate and convert meshes;
  • produce Gaussian splats.

The outputs land as files on disk. It ships as one Go binary over stdio, plus a Claude Code plugin with a workflow skill.

[Potion bottle generated with the Tripo v3 multiview pipeline]

Quick start

Claude Code. Put the binary on your PATH, then install the plugin:

bash
go install github.com/mordor-forge/trident-mcp/cmd/trident-mcp@latest   # or grab a release archive
text
/plugin marketplace add mordor-forge/claude-plugins/plugin install trident@mordor-forge

The plugin asks for your Tripo key and output folder, and adds the tripo-3d skill. Then ask for what you want, e.g. "make a game-ready low-poly treasure chest and export it as FBX".

Any MCP client:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "trident": {      "command": "trident-mcp",      "env": { "TRIPO_API_KEY": "tsk_...", "MODEL_OUTPUT_DIR": "/abs/path/generated_models" }    }  }}

How it works

  1. A task-creating tool (text_to_model, rig_model, convert_model, …) validates its arguments locally, uploads any local files, and returns a task_id.
  2. wait_for_task waits with progress notifications, then saves the outputs to <output dir>/<task_id>/. For example: model.glb, rendered_image.webp, generated_image.png, front_view.png.
  3. Pass a task_id as the next tool's input to chain steps: image → mesh → rig → animation → FBX.

Arguments use Tripo's own field names, so Tripo's docs apply to them directly. A few convenience fields differ from Tripo's wire format, such as multiview inputs given as a {front, left, back, right} map. See docs/MCP_TOOLS.md for all 28 tools.
