### Description (declared)

# makehuman-core (`mhcore`)

A **GUI-free** (no Qt, no OpenGL) Python library for building
[MakeHuman](http://www.makehumancommunity.org/) characters programmatically:
set body properties, apply modifiers, equip clothes/hair/eyes/skin, and
save/export — from a script, a server, or CI, with no running MakeHuman app.

It works by vendoring the unmodified MakeHuman source (`_vendor/`) and driving
it through a small headless shim (`mhcore/`) that stubs the GUI/GL modules and
supplies a headless application object. The character/geometry pipeline in
MakeHuman is pure numpy, so nothing here needs a display or a GPU.

## Use with a coding agent

Needs [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). First launch downloads ~430 MB of
character data to `~/.cache/mhcore` (one time).

OpenCode / Cursor (`opencode.json`):

```json
{
  "mcp": {
    "makehuman": {
      "type": "local",
      "command": ["uvx", "makehuman-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Claude Desktop / Claude Code (`claude_desktop_config.json` / `.mcp.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "makehuman": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["makehuman-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Until the package is on PyPI, point uvx at this repo:

```json
"command": ["uvx", "--from", "git+https://github.com/vidya-hub/makehuman-core", "makehuman-mcp"]
```

## Library install

A git clone already contains the data. Editable install:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/vidya-hub/makehuman-core.git
cd makehuman-core
python3 -m venv .venv
./.venv/bin/pip install -e .
```

Or `uvx makehuman-mcp` / `pip install makehuman-mcp` — data is fetched on first
`import mhcore` if `data/` is not next to the package. Override with
`MHCORE_DATA=/path/to/data`.

## Usage

```python
import mhcore

h = mhcore.new_human()

# body macros (0.0 - 1.0)
h.set_gender(1.0).set_age(0.5).set_weight(0.6).set_muscle(0.8).set_height(0.7)

# fine detail modifiers
print(len(h.list_modifiers()))          # ~269 available
h.apply_modifier("head/head-oval", 0.4)

# assets (discover, then…
