Overview

What is Processing MCP Server?

Processing MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants to create and run Processing sketches directly through natural language commands. It is designed for developers, artists, and hobbyists who want to generate visual art, animations, and games using AI conversation.

How to use Processing MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install the fastmcp dependency via uv or pip, then configure the Claude Desktop app by adding the server’s command and environment variables (PROCESSING_PATH and PROCESSING_SAVE_LOCATION) to the claude_desktop_config.json file. Restart Claude and ask the AI to create a sketch using the run_processing_java_cli tool.

Frequently asked questions

What tools does Processing MCP Server provide?

It provides `run_processing_java_cli` to create and run a sketch, and `get_processing_config` to return the current server configuration.

What are the dependencies and runtime requirements?

Python 3.8+, the `fastmcp` package, Processing installed on the system, and the Claude Desktop app. The server can be run via `uv` or `pip`.

How do I configure the Processing path and save location?

Set the `PROCESSING_PATH` and `PROCESSING_SAVE_LOCATION` environment variables, or add them under `env` in the Claude Desktop configuration file. Defaults are `processing` (system PATH) and `~/Documents/Processing/sketches`.

What if I get a "Processing executable not found" error?

Ensure Processing is installed, verify the path in your configuration is correct, use double backslashes (`\\`) on Windows, and on macOS point to the executable inside the `.app` bundle.

Where are sketches saved, and are they timestamped?

Sketches are saved to the directory specified by `PROCESSING_SAVE_LOCATION` (default `~/Documents/Processing/sketches`) with timestamps automatically added to filenames.
