It‘s the middle layer that handles the transformation from a human having an idea and vision to a plugin

MCP integration so awesome!

Please allow it to add modules to the module tree

@Christoph-Hart

Looking forward to it!

We all appreciate your work 🫡

@Bart I haven't tried it but looks like that may be in the works: https://github.com/christoph-hart/hise_cpp_raw_template/blob/main/AGENTS.md

Thanks HISEnberg.

It does appear like its on the menu

Testing last week I found it can add Hise modules within one of the projects files, but couldn't directly add the modules to the current Hise project it's interacting with.

Also found it gets in to a loop of shutting down and re-opening Hise when the AI needs to create a new project. It seems not able to create new Hise projects, nor load xml's yet.

These few limitations almost make it useable for me atm, but will test again soon

@Bart FYI I'm working on a TUI app at the moment that allows you to remote control HISE and perform all kinds of actions - the same command set is also exposed as an CLI interface for the LLM to use (and you can use the TUI app as a "log viewer" to trace back what the LLM did).

This will include a feature complete builder mode with full undo support where you can add / remove modules and change parameters from the command line:

@Christoph-Hart excited to see what is in the works here!

@HISEnberg haha yes that is some funky stuff, my favorite part is how I replicated the module tree in ASCII art:

I've also pulled in the entire setup.hise.dev stuff into this app - this bypasses some of the quirks of the website approach - now people just have to download this self-contained binary TUI app and type in /setup and it will perform all the steps from the setup workflow.

It also acts as logger for monitoring what the LLM does - if you have the TUI open and the LLM calls

hise-cli -builder add Sampler

then this shows up in the chat history with an "LLM" tag.

I'm probably moving all the runtime functionality out of the MCP server as soon as the hise_cli is ready so the MCP becomes a read-only documentation / explorer tool that sits on the HISE doc server - currently it needs to be run locally so it can connect to the HISE Rest server, but since the Hise-cli is doing the same thing too it's easier to separate these tasks.

The MCP server also integrates with the new doc website and uses a small embedding model and a vector database for looking up docs & code examples - I evaluated different approaches, but that gives me the advantage of checking the quality of the MCP search.

Are these Hise settings working?

Recompile On File Change
Auto Start Rest Server

Not working here with Windows, on a month old develop build.

@Bart Recompile On File Change does work here on mac, the other things I don’t know…

[Christoph Hart]

on a month old develop build.

A month old develop build is ancient material when you want to work with the AI tooling.

Recompile On File Change is disabled if the rest server is running - the rationale is that the LLM will make multiple edits and then send a recompile message when it's done - a recompilation after every filesave might interfere with this.

@Christoph-Hart clever move…
