Bolt.new launches Shaders MCP connector for animated WebGPU backgrounds

Bolt.new has launched a Shaders MCP connector, enabling users to add animated WebGPU backgrounds and creative visual effects to their projects directly from within Bolt. The tutorial demonstrates prompting the agent to generate a wavy hero section background, adding a live parameter control panel to fine-tune shader visuals, and browsing over 550 presets on the Shaders website. Users can also export React code from the Shaders editor or reference saved Shader projects through the connector so the agent pulls in a specific custom design. A Shaders pro license is required, available at $15/month, $120/year, or $200 for lifetime access.
