vrm-toolkit-mcp
MCP server for inspecting, validating and previewing VRM / VRMA files (5 tools, local stdio)
Documentation
vrm-toolkit-mcp
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets an AI agent inspect, validate and preview
VRM / VRMA files on your machine. Five tools, stdio transport, no network access at runtime.
VRM / VRMAファイルの検品・情報抽出・プレビューをAIエージェントから使えるようにする
MCPサーバーです。ツールは5本、stdioトランスポート、実行時のネットワークアクセスなし。
Tools / ツール
| Tool | What it does | 説明 |
|---|---|---|
| `vrm_inspect` | Structured JSON: meta (name/author/license and permission fields), humanoid bone map, expressions, polygon/texture statistics | メタ(名前/作者/ライセンス許諾)・ボーン・表情・ポリゴン/テクスチャ規模を構造化出力 |
| `vrm_validate` | Finding list: missing required humanoid bones, broken node references, missing meta/license fields, unknown required extensions, configurable size/triangle/texture budgets | humanoidマッピング欠落・参照切れ・メタ/ライセンス欠落・未知の必須拡張・サイズ超過などの検品リスト |
| `vrma_inspect` | Tracks, targeted humanoid bones, expression tracks, duration, estimated frame rate | トラック・対象ボーン・表情トラック・尺・フレームレート推定 |
| `vrma_preview` | Applies a VRMA to a VRM and renders a PNG still or a short WebM clip (max 10 s) through local headless Chrome/Edge | VRMAをVRMに適用し、ローカルのヘッドレスChrome/EdgeでPNG静止画または短尺WebM動画を書き出し |
| `vrm_snapshot` | Renders a rest-pose PNG with optional expression weights and view presets (front / three-quarter / side / face close-up) | 表情ウェイトとビュープリセット(正面/斜め/側面/顔アップ)を指定できる静止画スクリーンショット |
Structural tools (`vrm_inspect`, `vrm_validate`, `vrma_inspect`) parse the GLB/glTF container
directly in Node and need no browser. Rendering tools (`vrma_preview`, `vrm_snapshot`) use an
already-installed Chromium-based browser via `puppeteer-core`; nothing is downloaded.
構造系3ツールはNode単体でGLB/glTFを直接パースし、ブラウザ不要。描画系2ツールは
インストール済みのChromium系ブラウザを`puppeteer-core`で使います(追加ダウンロードなし)。
Supported inputs: VRM 0.x (`extensions.VRM`), VRM 1.0 (`extensions.VRMC_vrm`),
VRMA (`extensions.VRMC_vrm_animation`), GLB container or plain glTF JSON.
Requirements / 動作条件
- Node.js 20+
- For `vrma_preview` / `vrm_snapshot`: a local Chrome or Edge
(auto-detected; override with the `VRM_TOOLKIT_CHROME` environment variable)
- Input size budget: 512 MiB by default (`VRM_TOOLKIT_MAX_BYTES` to override)

}Error codes / エラーコード
Every failure is a structured tool error with one of:
`FILE_NOT_FOUND`, `SIZE_BUDGET_EXCEEDED`, `NOT_A_GLB`, `NOT_A_VRM`, `NOT_A_VRMA`,
`BROWSER_NOT_FOUND`, `RENDER_FAILED`, `OUTPUT_WRITE_FAILED`.
The server process never crashes on a bad input file.
Privacy / プライバシー
All processing is local. The server opens no network connection, sends no telemetry, and writes
only the output files you name. / 処理はすべてローカルです。ネットワーク接続・テレメトリ送信は
