## 📖 Overview

This is an **MCP Server** built with Gradio that allows AI agents to generate, execute, and render **Manim (Mathematical Animation Engine)** videos on the fly. 

While LLMs are great at text, they struggle to visualize dynamic concepts. This tool bridges that gap by allowing an agent to write Python/Manim code and immediately receive a rendered video file.

### Key Features
* **Text-to-Video:** Describe a math concept (e.g., "Explain Bubble Sort"), and the AI writes the code and renders the video.
* **AI Code Editor:** Refine animations using natural language instructions (e.g., "Move the circle to the left").
* **MCP Compliant:** Fully functional as a backend tool for Claude Desktop or other MCP clients. 
* **Powered by Anthropic Claude:** Uses `anthropic/claude-4.5-sonnet` for high-precision code generation. 

## 🚀 Quick Start

### 1. Using the Web UI
1.  Type a prompt in the "Describe your animation" box.
2.  Click **Generate & Render**.
3.  Watch your code turn into a video!

### 2. Connect via MCP (Streamable HTTP)
To add this MCP to clients that support Streamable HTTP, add the following configuration to your MCP config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gradio": {
      "url": "https://mcp-1st-birthday-anim-lab-ai.hf.space/gradio_api/mcp/"
    }
  }
}
```
## ⚙️ Tech Stack
* **Frontend/Server:** Gradio (MCP Mode)
* **Animation Engine:** Manim Community (v0.19)
* **LLM Inference:** Fal AI (Claude 4.5 Sonnet)
