### Description (declared)

# manimgl-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI assistants the ability to create mathematical animations programmatically. Features RAG-powered code generation, multi-agent pipelines, and audio narration.

## What This Does

This MCP server exposes **25 tools** that allow AI models to:

1. **Generate Animation Code** - Write scene definitions with RAG-powered assistance
2. **Render Videos** - Produce MP4, GIF, or PNG outputs at various quality levels
3. **Interactive Development** - Headless IPython sessions for iterative code testing
4. **Multi-Agent Pipeline** - Concept analysis → scene planning → code generation → review
5. **Audio Narration** - Generate TTS narration synced to videos

## Key Features

- **RAG-Powered Code Generation** - Semantic search over indexed ManimGL API and examples
- **Multi-Provider LLM** - Supports Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, GPT-4o via litellm
- **Parameter Validation** - Validates API calls against indexed signatures
- **Self-Learning** - Stores error patterns and fixes for continuous improvement
- **8 Animation Templates** - Riemann sums, matrix transforms, Fourier series, etc.

## System Requirements

- **Python 3.10–3.13** — Python 3.14+ is **not** supported. `manimlib` depends on `pydub`, which requires the `audioop` standard library module removed in Python 3.13. Use a Python ≤ 3.13 environment.
- **FFmpeg** — for video encoding
- **LaTeX** — for mathematical notation (optional)

No display server is required. Interactive sessions are fully headless — they run inside a plain IPython REPL with manimlib pre-loaded, no OpenGL window is ever opened.

## Installation

### Recommended: install into a Python 3.13 venv

```bash
# Create a Python 3.13 virtual environment
python3.13 -m venv ~/.venv

# Install from PyPI
uv pip install manimgl-mcp --python ~/.venv/bin/python

# Or from source
git clone https://github.com/pranavgundu/manimgl-mcp.git
cd manimgl-mcp
uv pip install -e . --python ~/.venv/bin/python
```
