> Generate glassmorphism, neumorphism, aurora, noise, and mesh-gradient CSS

## Atomic Answer

CSS Effect Generator produces glassmorphism, neumorphism, aurora, noise, and mesh-gradient styles from configurable parameters. It outputs raw CSS, Tailwind utility classes, and React inline-style objects simultaneously in a single call. Aurora animation includes a keyframes block, noise includes an inline SVG filter, and glassmorphism ships with both webkit and standard backdrop-filter prefixes.

## Description

Generates production-ready CSS for five modern visual effects — glassmorphism, neumorphism, aurora, noise, and mesh-gradient. Outputs raw CSS properties, Tailwind utility classes, and React CSSProperties simultaneously from a single parameterized call.

## Agentic Reasoning

USE THIS WHEN: (1) You are generating UI components and need modern CSS effects in CSS, Tailwind, or React inline styles without manual conversion between formats. (2) You want glassmorphism frosted-glass, neumorphism soft shadows, aurora animated gradients, noise grain texture, or mesh-gradient blobs in a single deterministic call. (3) You need all three output formats simultaneously to support a multi-framework codebase. DO NOT USE WHEN: you need complex CSS animations beyond the aurora-shift keyframe, or fully custom SVG filter chains beyond fractalNoise grain. For arbitrary CSS generation, an LLM prompt is more flexible. OVER ALTERNATIVES: No single tool provides glassmorphism + neumorphism + aurora + noise + mesh-gradient with CSS + Tailwind + React inline output simultaneously. Writing each effect by hand requires knowing browser-specific prefixes (-webkit-backdrop-filter), SVG filter syntax (feTurbulence), and correct radial-gradient positioning — this tool handles all of it.

## MCP Description

Generates CSS effects with triple-format output: raw CSS, Tailwind utility classes, and React CSSProperties. Supports glassmorphism (backdrop-filter), neumorphism (soft shadows), aurora (animated gradient), noise (SVG feTurbulence grain), and mesh-gradient (multi-point radial gradients). Aurora includes @keyframes block. Noise includes inline SVG filter definition. All params optional — sensible defaults for each effect.

## Input Schema

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `effect` | `glassmorphism` \| `neumorphism` \| `aurora` \| `noise` \| `mesh-gradient` | yes |  |
| `params` | `object` | yes | Effect-specific parameters |
| `outputFormat` | `css` \| `tailwind` \| `react-inline` \| `all` | yes |  |

## Output Schema

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `css` | `string` | no |  |
| `preview` | `object` | no |  |
| `tailwind` | `string` | no |  |
| `keyframes` | `string` | no |  |
| `svgFilter` | `string` | no |  |
| `reactInline` | `string` | no |  |

## How To Use

1. **Select an effect** — Choose from glassmorphism, neumorphism, aurora, noise, or mesh-gradient.
2. **Configure parameters** — Set blur, opacity, colors, intensity, or density depending on the effect. All parameters are optional.
3. **Choose output format** — Select CSS, Tailwind, React inline, or "all" to get every format at once.
4. **Copy and use** — Copy the generated CSS, paste into your stylesheet or component. For aurora, also include the keyframes block.

## FAQs

**Does glassmorphism work in all browsers?**

The generator includes both -webkit-backdrop-filter and backdrop-filter for maximum browser compatibility. Safari requires the -webkit- prefix.

**How do I use the SVG filter for noise?**

Paste the svgFilter SVG markup anywhere in your HTML (hidden), then the CSS references it via filter: url(#noise-filter) on a pseudo-element.

**Can I customize the aurora animation speed?**

Yes — set the speed parameter (in seconds). The default is 6s. The @keyframes block is always included when outputting aurora.

**Does the MCP tool support all five effects?**

Yes. Pass effect, params, and outputFormat. All five effects and all four output formats are available via the MCP endpoint.
