🎬 After Effects
The After Effects MCP server enables AI assistants and applications to programmatically control Adobe After Effects through the Model Context Protocol, providing standardized access to composition management, layer creation and manipulation, and animation capabilities. It offers tools for creating and listing compositions, managing layers (text, shapes, cameras, solids), modifying properties like position and opacity, setting keyframes, and applying expressions for dynamic animations. This server solves the problem of integrating After Effects automation into AI-driven workflows and external applications without direct scripting knowledge.
