Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `mcp-manimgl` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Python package** — Install the MCP server from PyPI. Run: `pip install mcp-manimgl` (https://pypi.org/project/mcp-manimgl/)

Optional prerequisites:
- Install manimgl system dependencies for rendering — Rendering features require manimgl and its system dependencies, including pangocairo and OpenGL. (https://github.com/3b1b/manim/)
- Install render extras — Optional Python extras for rendering support. Run: `pip install "mcp-manimgl[render]"`
- Install audio extras — Optional Python extras for audio narration and MIDI music support. Run: `pip install "mcp-manimgl[audio]"`
- Install MIDI rendering system dependencies — For MIDI background music rendering, install FluidSynth and a SoundFont package. Run: `sudo apt install fluidr3mono-gm-soundfont libfluidsynth3`

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `mcp-manimgl`
- args: []

Note: Default transport is stdio. No environment variables are documented. Optional features require additional extras and system dependencies: rendering needs manimgl dependencies; audio/MIDI needs the audio extra, and MIDI rendering additionally needs FluidSynth and a system SoundFont.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
