Trident MCP Overview

The mordor-forge/trident-mcp MCP server exposes Tripo v3-backed tools for generating and processing 3D models. It accepts text, image, and multiview generation workflows, then supports operations such as conversion, retopology, stylization, rigging, and animation retargeting. The server runs as a single Go binary over stdio, uses asynchronous tasks with polling, and stores downloaded models in a configurable local directory. Reach for it when an MCP client needs to create or prepare 3D assets through the Tripo API.
