Ultimate GSAP Master MCP Server

by glorynguyen

⚑ Ultimate GSAP Master MCP Server

The Ultimate GSAP Master MCP Server is a high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that grants AI models (like Claude) "surgical precision" over the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP).

It transforms natural language animation requests into production-ready, 60fps-optimized code. Whether you need a complex scroll-triggered sequence, character-by-character text reveals, or physics-based Draggable interfaces, this server provides the expert-level knowledge and implementation logic required.

✨ Features

  • 🧠 Advanced Intent Analysis: Understands complex natural language requests (e.g., "Make these cards fade in one by one with a slight bounce when they hit the middle of the screen").

  • πŸš€ Production-Ready Code: Generates code with GPU acceleration (force3D), memory management (clearProps), and proper framework lifecycle handling (React useGSAP, cleanup, etc.).

  • πŸ“š Complete API Database: Deep knowledge of every core method, easing function, and plugin (ScrollTrigger, SplitText, MorphSVG, DrawSVG, etc.).

  • πŸ”§ Performance Optimization: Automatically refactors laggy animations into high-performance 60fps sequences.

  • πŸ› οΈ Expert Debugging: Analyzes code snippets for layout thrashing, missing plugin registrations, or logic errors.

  • 🎁 All Plugins Included: Knowledge base updated for the GSAP era where SplitText, MorphSVG, and DrawSVG are now free.

πŸ›  Tools Included

Tool

Description

understand_and_create_animation

The flagship tool. Converts any animation idea into fully functional GSAP code.

get_gsap_api_expert

Provides deep technical documentation and examples for any GSAP method or plugin.

generate_complete_setup

Generates boilerplate for React, Next.js, Vue, or Vanilla, including plugin registration.

debug_animation_issue

Identifies and fixes bugs, performance bottlenecks, and logic errors.

optimize_for_performance

Refactors existing GSAP code to ensure 60fps smoothness and GPU acceleration.

create_production_pattern

Generates battle-tested patterns like Hero sequences, loading screens, and scroll systems.

πŸš€ Installation & Setup

Since this package is published as @vinhnguyen/gsap-mcp, you can use npx to run it without manual installation.

1. Claude Desktop Configuration

Open your Claude Desktop configuration file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the Server

Add the following entry to the mcpServers section:

{ "mcpServers": { "gsap-master": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@vinhnguyen/gsap-mcp" ] } } }

3. Restart Claude

Restart the Claude Desktop application, and you will see a ⚑ icon indicating the GSAP Master tools are ready to use.

πŸ“– Usage Examples

1. Natural Language Creation

User: "I want a hero section where the title letters pop up randomly, and then the subtitle slides in from the left once the title is finished."

AI (using Will generate a gsap.timeline() using SplitText for the characters, applying a back.out ease and a staggered random start time, followed by the subtitle animation.

2. Performance Refactoring

User: "My scroll animation is laggy on mobile. Here is the code: [code snippet animating

AI (using Will refactor the code to use x and y (transforms), add force3D: true, and implement ScrollTrigger.batch for better performance.

3. Setup Generation

User: "Set up a new Next.js project with ScrollTrigger and SplitText."

AI (using Will provide the terminal commands for installation, the gsap.registerPlugin boilerplate, and a useGSAP wrapper for your components.

πŸ“ˆ Performance Standards

Every piece of code generated by this server adheres to the following standards:

  • GPU Acceleration: Uses x, y, scale, and rotation instead of layout properties (top, width, height).

  • Memory Management: Includes clearProps and proper cleanup in framework hooks.

  • Reduced Motion: Respects prefers-reduced-motion media queries.

  • Efficiency: Uses GSAP's internal ticker and optimized batching for scroll events.
