Feature & Specification Comparison
Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Texel MCP Tools (16)
texel_render
Compile and review a spec (inline, or a workspace `file`); returns the review, the sheet image, optionally a close-up of some parts and the texture.
texel_patch
Apply a patch by layer id and render the result. Given a workspace `file`, it edits the file in place and returns only the review, so the spec isn't resent on every iteration.
texel_validate
Errors and warnings only, no images.
texel_save
Write every file the texture is in game (block parts, animation strip and `.png.mcmeta`, particle frames, `_eyes`), the `.skin.json` source and optionally the sheet to the workspace.
texel_live
Start a live session: a page served on 127.0.0.1 that shows every render as it happens (the texel.dev.br studio can follow it too, for editing).
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
