What the publisher says

From the Manimgl repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

mcp-manimgl — MCP server exposing manimgl (Manim OpenGL) mathematical animation functionality as tools for LLMs.

mcp-name: io.github.daedalus/mcp-manimgl

Install

pip install mcp-manimgl

Optional extras:

# For rendering (requires manimgl + system deps)
pip install "mcp-manimgl[render]"

# For audio narration + MIDI music support
pip install "mcp-manimgl[audio]"

System Dependencies

The server checks for non-Python dependencies at startup and reports any missing ones to stderr and via the mcp-manimgl://info resource.

Usage

MCP Server

# Run with stdio transport (default for MCP)
mcp-manimgl

In Claude Desktop / Cursor / MCP clients

Add to your mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-manimgl": {
      "command": "mcp-manimgl"
    }
  }
}

Tools

The server exposes these tool categories:

Scene Management

  • create_scene — Create/configure a new scene
  • clear_scene — Remove all elements
  • add_wait — Add wait/pause
  • set_camera — Configure camera
  • set_config — Set global rendering config
  • savestate / restorestate — State management
  • generatescenescript — Get the generated Python script

Mobject Creation

  • addcircle, addsquare, addrectangle, addpolygon
  • addline, addarrow, add_dot
  • addtext, addtex (LaTeX)
  • addfunctiongraph, addparametriccurve
  • addcoordinatesystem, add_vector
  • addlabeledpoint, addbrace, addnumber_line
  • adddecimalnumber, add_matrix
  • add3dobject (sphere, cube, torus, cone, cylinder)

Mobject Manipulation

  • move_to, shift, scale, rotate
  • setcolor, setopacity
  • nextto, alignto

Animations

  • animatetransform, animatefadein/out, animategrow
  • animaterotate, animatescale, animate_shift
  • animateindicate, animatewrite, animatesetcolor
  • animatemovealongpath, animategroup

Audio

  • add_narration — Generate TTS (gTTS) narration that plays at the current timeline position
  • addbackgroundmusic — Add background music from audio files or MIDI files (auto-rendered via FluidSynth). Supports volume control, looping, and sidechain ducking during narration.

Rendering

  • render_scene — Render to video (auto-mixes background music + narration with ducking)
  • save_frame — Save single frame
  • getrenderstatus — Check environment

Audio Features

Narration

# TTS narration at current timeline position
add_narration("Shor's algorithm factors large numbers in polynomial time.")

Background Music

Accepts audio files (.mp3, .wav, .ogg) or MIDI files (.mid, .midi). MIDI files are rendered to audio using FluidSynth and the system SoundFont.

# From an audio file
add_background_music("/path/to/music.mp3", volume=0.3, loop=True)

# From a MIDI file (auto-rendered)
add_background_music("/path/to/classical.mid", volume=0.2)

# With ducking configuration
add_background_music(
    "bach_chorale.mid",
    volume=0.25,
    loop=True,
    duck_threshold="-20dB",
    duck_ratio=6,
    duck_attack=0.05,
    duck_release=0.3,
)
