Houdini 20.5 or newer and Python 3.10 or newer outside Houdini.
Can Cursor control all of Houdini?
The sources establish the capabilities listed above, not complete application coverage. Check each bridge’s limitations and your application version before starting.
Which setup should I use?
Choose a route that explicitly documents Cursor and matches your environment. Start with the maintainer’s setup guide and a disposable project copy. Shared MCP support alone is listed as an inference.
