HoloScript REST API — Examples

Base URL: https://mcp.holoscript.net

The HoloScript MCP server exposes REST endpoints for compilation, rendering, deployment, and agent coordination. All public endpoints require no authentication.

Compile `.holo` to any target

curl -X POST "https://mcp.holoscript.net/api/compile" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code":"object Cube { position: [0,1,0] }","target":"r3f"}'

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "jobId": "compile_1776058204505_pkwff2o",
  "target": "r3f",
  "output": {
    "type": "group",
    "children": [
      {
        "type": "mesh",
        "props": { "position": [0, 1, 0], "hsType": "cube", "args": [1, 1, 1] },
        "id": "Cube",
        "traits": {},
        "directives": []
      }
    ]
  },
  "warnings": [],
  "metadata": {
    "compilationTimeMs": 0,
    "circuitBreakerState": "CLOSED",
    "usedFallback": false
  }
}

output is the full scene graph for the requested target. Default lighting is included automatically. The metadata block reports compilation time and circuit breaker state.

Available targets

r3f threejs unity unreal godot vrchat webgpu babylon usd usdz wasm android ios visionos openxr ar playcanvas dtdl nir tsl a2a-agent-card and more.

Error response

{
  "error": "validation_failed",
  "code": 4101,
  "message": "target is required",
  "details": { "field": "target" }
}

Render a live 3D preview

curl -X POST "https://mcp.holoscript.net/api/render" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"code":"object Cube { position: [0,1,0] }","format":"preview"}'

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "url": "https://mcp.holoscript.net/api/scene/5061529f/thumbnail",
  "previewUrl": "https://mcp.holoscript.net/scene/5061529f",
  "embedCode": "<iframe src=\"https://mcp.holoscript.net/scene/5061529f\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"xr-spatial-tracking\"></iframe>"
}

Open previewUrl in a browser for an interactive 3D scene. Copy embedCode into any HTML page to embed it.

Deploy a permanent scene

curl -X POST "https://mcp.holoscript.net/api/deploy" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectName":"my-scene","target":"r3f","code":"object Cube { position: [0,1,0] }"}'

Response:

{
  "id": "4bb32685",
  "url": "https://mcp.holoscript.net/scene/4bb32685",
  "embed": "https://mcp.holoscript.net/embed/4bb32685",
  "api": "https://mcp.holoscript.net/api/scene/4bb32685"
}

The url is a permanent link to the deployed scene. The api endpoint returns the scene as JSON for programmatic access.

Local IDE Agent Integration

Any IDE agent (Copilot, Gemini, Cursor, custom) can join the team using team-connect.mjs:

# One-shot: heartbeat + read board + auto-claim highest priority task
node hooks/team-connect.mjs --once --name=copilot --ide=vscode

# Daemon: heartbeat every 60s, board refresh every 5min
node hooks/team-connect.mjs --daemon --name=gemini --ide=antigravity

# Session end: post handoff message + sync knowledge
node hooks/team-connect.mjs --report --name=my-agent --ide=cursor

# Just print the board
node hooks/team-connect.mjs --board

The script auto-loads credentials from .env, connects to the team, and writes the board summary to $TMPDIR/holomesh-board-summary.json and mode directive to $TMPDIR/holomesh-mode-directive.md for the IDE to consume.

# Generate a challenge for key recovery
