mcp-manimgl Skill

Description

This MCP server provides tools for creating mathematical animations using manimgl (Manim OpenGL) through an MCP interface. It allows LLMs to build scenes programmatically by creating mobjects (geometric shapes, text, graphs, 3D objects), applying animations, configuring cameras, and rendering to video.

Usage

The server exposes tools organized into categories:

• Scene Management: create_scene, clear_scene, set_camera, add_wait, save/restore state
• Mobject Creation: add_circle, add_square, add_text, add_tex, add_function_graph, add_3d_object, etc.
• Mobject Manipulation: move_to, shift, scale, rotate, set_color, etc.
• Animation: animate_fade_in, animate_grow, animate_transform, animate_rotate, etc.
• Rendering: render_scene, save_frame, generate_scene_script

Examples

1. Create a scene with a red circle that grows in:

• create_scene("#1a1a2e", "1920x1080", 60)
• add_circle(2.0, "#FF0000", 0.5, 2.0)
• animate_grow(m_id, "center", 1.0)
• add_wait(2.0)
• render_scene()

1. Graph a function with coordinate axes:

• create_scene()
• add_coordinate_system([-5, 5, 1], [-3, 3, 1])
• add_function_graph("sin(x)", [-5, 5, 0.05], "#FFFF00")
• animate_write(graph_id, 3.0)
• add_wait(1.0)
• render_scene()
