ShaderToy-MCP
MCP server for integrating LLMs with ShaderToy. ShaderToy-MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server maintained by wilsonchenghy. It connects to MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, and other agents that speak the protocol. It exposes 2 tools, including get_shader_info and search_shader, that an agent can call directly. It is categorized under AI/LLM and Integration/Claude.
What is this MCP
This MCP connects LLMs like Claude with ShaderToy, enabling them to query, read, and generate complex GLSL shaders by learning from existing examples on ShaderToy.
How to use this MCP
Install the server, configure Claude's settings to include the MCP server path, and use the provided tools (get_shader_info, search_shader) to interact with ShaderToy through natural language commands.
