Mcp Manimgl
Connects Claude to manimgl's mathematical animation engine for programmatic video generation. Exposes tools for scene management, mobject creation (circles, LaTeX, function graphs, 3D primitives), animations (transforms, fades, rotations), and rendering. The audio toolkit handles TTS narration with gTTS, background music from audio or MIDI files, and automatic sidechain ducking so music volume drops during voiceovers. Render outputs composited MP4s with synchronized audio tracks. Useful when you need to generate animated math explainers, proofs, or algorithm visualizations without manually coding manimgl scenes. Requires ffmpeg and optional FluidSynth for MIDI rendering.
