 |
web_persistent_add("Circle → Square → Triangle") |
web_persistent_add("MathTex a²+b²=c²") |
📈 Function Graphs |
✨ Composite Animations |
 |
 |
web_persistent_add("Axes + sin(x) + cos(x)") |
web_persistent_play("DrawBorderThenFill") |
💡 Each animation above takes only 3 MCP calls to generate
web_persistent_start(project="demo") # 🚀 Start
web_persistent_add(code="c = Circle(radius=1, color=BLUE)") # 🎨 Create shape
web_persistent_add(code="self.play(Create(c))") # ▶️ Play animation
web_persistent_render_video() # 🎬 Export video
⚡ 30-Second Setup
pip install manim-web-mcp # 📦 Bundled optimized manim — no separate install needed
manim-web-mcp # 🚀 Launch! Browser opens preview automatically
📋 System Dependencies
- Python 3.12+
- ffmpeg — Video encoding

🔥 Why manim-web
| manim-web | Traditional CLI | VSCode Plugin | Online Playground | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AI-Driven | ✅ MCP Protocol | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Browser Live Preview | ✅ WebSocket | ❌ | VSCode only | ✅ |
| Cross-Conversation Persistence | ✅ Stateful | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Multi-Project Parallel | ✅ Independent scenes | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
| Sandbox Security | ✅ 3-Level Policy | ❌ | ❌ | ❌ |
🎯 Pain Points Solved
| Pain Point | Before | manim-web |
|---|---|---|
| AI animation workflow | CLI trial-and-error, no preview | One MCP call, browser live preview |
| manim installation | Long dependency chain, complex setup | pip install one step, bundled optimized version |
| Animation debugging | Edit → render → view, slow loop | Code = preview, incremental rendering in seconds |
| Lost progress across chats | Scene disappears when AI conversation ends | Session persistence, seamless cross-conversation resume |
| Code safety | AI-generated code runs directly | 3-level sandbox, dangerous operation interception |
| Single scene limitation | One terminal, one scene | Independent project spaces, no interference |
