After installation, run the setup command: ```bash psianimator-mcp setup ```
After installation, run the setup command: bash psianimator-mcp setup . The psianimator mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 3 defined tools rather than through you.
The server ships on PyPI as psianimator-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverDependencies — The Dependencies tool exposed by this serverTroubleshooting — The Troubleshooting tool exposed by this serverYou will need 4 environment variables: PSIANIMATOR_CONFIG, PSIANIMATOR_TRANSPORT, PSIANIMATOR_PORT, PSIANIMATOR_HOST. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. PsiAnimator MCP's toolset — Prerequisites, Dependencies, Troubleshooting — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by manasp21; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against PsiAnimator MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
