Manim MCP Demo

Overview

This is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that executes Manim animation code and returns the generated video. It allows users to send Manim scripts and receive the rendered animation.

Features

Executes Manim Python scripts.
Saves animation output in a visible media folder.
Allows users to clean up temporary files after execution.
Portable and configurable via environment variables.

Integration with Claude

To integrate the Manim MCP server with Claude, add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
     "manim-server": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/python",
      "args": [
        "/absolute/path/to/manim-mcp-server/src/manim_server.py"
      ],
      "env": {
        "MANIM_EXECUTABLE": "/Users/[Your_username]/anaconda3/envs/manim2/Scripts/manim.exe"
      }
    }
  }
}

Finding Your Python Path

To find your Python executable path, use the following command:

Windows (PowerShell):

(Get-Command python).Source

Windows (Command Prompt/Terminal):

where python

Linux/macOS (Terminal):

which python

This ensures that Claude can communicate with the Manim MCP server to generate animations dynamically.
