About
Enables AI agents to search for and fetch pre-vetted, production-safe 3D and motion components (React Three Fiber & GSAP) for injection into Next.js apps via AST-safe edits.
README
Production-safe 3D & motion components your AI agent can install.
AI agents are great at UI — and notoriously bad at WebGL. Ask one for a Three.js hero and you'll usually get VRAM leaks, SSR crashes, and hydration bugs. AnimAI fixes that with a registry of pre-vetted React Three Fiber & GSAP components that are certified leak-free, SSR-safe, and performance-budgeted — then injected into your Next.js app with AST-safe edits (never regex) by a CLI or an MCP server your agent calls directly.
npx animai add hero-orbital-rig
Why vetted matters
Every component ships with a machine-generated vetting report, produced by the harness in scripts/vet.mjs and enforced in CI:
| Check | Guarantee |
|---|---|
| Dispose audit | a useEffect cleanup disposes every geometry/material/texture — no VRAM leaks |
| SSR gate | WebGL is loaded via next/dynamic { ssr: false } — no server crashes |
| GSAP rule | animations use useGSAP() — timelines revert cleanly in Strict Mode |
| Canvas sizing | <Canvas> always gets an explicitly sized container |
Use it from your AI agent (MCP)
Add one line to your agent's MCP config (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf):
{
"mcpServers": {
"animai": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "animai", "mcp"] }
}
}
Your agent gets two flat, deterministic tools:
search_motion_library— natural-language search over the registryfetch_motion_component— exact vetted source + dependencies + integration steps
Use it from the CLI
npx animai search "dark 3d hero" # find components
npx animai add hero-orbital-rig # write files + AST-patch your route
npx animai add hero-orbital-rig --dry-run
npx animai add hero-orbital-rig --target main
npx animai doctor hero-orbital-rig # check peer-dependency versions
npx animai update hero-orbital-rig # re-fetch latest (guards your local edits)
npx animai login <license-key> # unlock Pro components
add writes the component + SSR-safe loader into app/components/ and injects
the JSX into your route using @ast-grep/napi Find & Patch — imports and nodes
are inserted through the AST, so your source is never corrupted by string
replacement.
Free & Pro
The CLI, MCP server, and a growing set of components are free (MIT). Pro components are delivered through a licensed registry — the public npm package and CDN never contain Pro source. See docs/registry.md.
