Key design decisions:

  • No GSAP runtime dependency — the server generates code strings using static knowledge bases and template builders. It never imports or executes GSAP itself.

  • Testable core functions — every tool exports a generateXxxCode(params) function that is directly testable without MCP infrastructure.

  • MCP SDK pattern — each tool exports a registerXxxTool(server) function that calls server.registerTool() with Zod v4 input schemas.

  • CodeBuilder — fluent builder that manages imports, plugin registration, and body lines, then assembles them with build() (full) or buildSnippet() (body only).

Development

# Run all tests
npx vitest run

# Watch mode
npx vitest

# Type-check
npx tsc --noEmit

# Build
npx tsc

# Dev mode (tsx)
npx tsx src/index.ts

Adding a new tool

  1. Create src/tools/<category>/<name>.ts

  2. Export generateXxxCode(params): XxxResult (testable core logic)

  3. Export registerXxxTool(server: McpServer) (MCP registration)

  4. Add import + register call in src/index.ts

  5. Create tests/tools/<name>.test.ts

  6. Run npx tsc --noEmit && npx vitest run
