Nakkas Overview

This MCP server enables AI agents to create animated SVG artwork using a declarative JSON configuration. It supports CSS @keyframes and SMIL animations without JavaScript, making the output compatible with environments like GitHub READMEs. The server returns both an SVG artifact and a PNG preview so the AI can iteratively refine designs without reprocessing the SVG text. It runs locally with no external dependencies or API keys required.
