Resources And Tools

The MCP server exposes registered Manim Studio operations. It does not expose an unrestricted shell.

• manim-studio://catalog
• manim-studio://scene/{deck_id}/{scene_id}
• manim-studio://build/{build_id}/manifest
• manim-studio://build/{build_id}/artifacts
• manim-studio://build/{build_id}/log/{stream}

Tools

• list_decks
• get_scene_context
• validate_scene
• render_scene
• render_beat

Response Envelope

All tool responses use the same structured envelope:

{
  "ok": true,
  "status": "success",
  "data": {},
  "error": null
}

Failures use stable error codes such as:

• invalid_target
• target_not_found
• catalog_invalid
• validation_failed
• beat_not_found
• build_not_found
• render_failed
• export_failed
• unsupported_deck
• unsupported
• internal_error

Export Tool

export_deck supports format: "pptx" for decks whose registered scenes all use renderer: manim-slides.

{
  "deck_id": "my_slides",
  "format": "pptx",
  "profile": "final",
  "force": false
}

Other formats return unsupported; mixed decks return unsupported_deck.
