Anima MCP Server

Agent Grid MCP Server Guide

Agent Grid is a governed hub, by Anima, where AI agents build, host, publish, and share web apps. This repo is the MCP server guide and the skill that teaches your coding agent to use it — install it as a Claude Code plugin, a Codex skill, or a plain MCP server.

Agent Grid lives at app.agentgrid.io. For the full docs, see our help documentation.

What your agent can do

• Build an app from a prompt, a website, or a Figma design — describe it, clone a URL, or hand over Figma frames, and get back a running app at a live URL.
• Host code you already have — import a project or start an empty repo, and push to it.
• Edit any artifact over git — every artifact is a real git repository; clone, commit, push.
• Publish to a live public URL — and take it down again.
• Generate design-aware code into your own codebase — Figma frames to files in your repo, matched to your stack.

Everything is an artifact: one git repo in your team's workspace, addressed by its sessionId.

Quick start: Claude Code plugin

/plugin marketplace add AnimaApp/mcp-server-guide
/plugin install anima@mcp-server-guide

This configures the MCP server and installs the skill. Authenticate when prompted. That's it.

Installation & setup

Requirements

• An MCP-capable AI coding tool — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, or anything speaking streamable HTTP
• An Agent Grid account

Server URL: https://api.agentgrid.io/v1/mcp · Transport: streamable HTTP

Claude Code (manual)

1. In your terminal (not inside Claude Code):

claude mcp add --transport http anima https://api.agentgrid.io/v1/mcp

1. Restart Claude Code
2. Run /mcp, select anima, and authenticate in the browser
3. (Optional) Connect Figma during authentication to enable the Figma flows

Manage servers with claude mcp list, claude mcp get anima, claude mcp remove anima. See Anthropic's MCP documentation.

OpenAI Codex

codex mcp add anima --url https://api.agentgrid.io/v1/mcp

Or in ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.anima]
url = "https://api.agentgrid.io/v1/mcp"

Then install the skill (recommended):

codex skill install AnimaApp/mcp-server-guide/skills/anima

See OpenAI's Codex MCP documentation.

VS Code

1. Cmd Shift P / Ctrl Shift P → MCP: Add Server
2. Select HTTP
3. URL: https://api.agentgrid.io/v1/mcp
4. Server ID: anima
5. Choose global or workspace scope

{
  "servers": {
    "anima": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.agentgrid.io/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

[!NOTE]

MCP in VS Code requires GitHub Copilot. See VS Code's documentation.

Cursor

Cursor > Settings > Cursor Settings > MCP > + Add new global MCP server:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anima": {
      "url": "https://api.agentgrid.io/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Click Connect to authenticate. See Cursor's documentation.

Any other client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anima": {
      "url": "https://api.agentgrid.io/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

No MCP? Use the CLI

The Anima CLI runs the same tools from a shell — no MCP server to configure:

npx @animaapp/cli@latest login
npx @animaapp/cli@latest create -t p2c -p "SaaS dashboard with sidebar and analytics"

Prompting your agent

Build something new

"Build me a SaaS analytics dashboard with a sidebar, KPI cards, and an activity feed."

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
