After Effects MCP Demo

✨ Features

  • Extensible Architecture: Easily add new tools through configuration files
  • Rich After Effects Functionality: Control compositions, layers, effects, and more
  • MCP Compliant: Works with any MCP-compatible AI model, including Claude

🛠️ Tools

This integration provides a comprehensive set of tools for After Effects:

Category Capabilities
Project Get project information, list compositions, manage project properties
Compositions Create new compositions with custom dimensions, frame rates, and durations
Text Layers Add and modify text layers with font controls, tracking, justification, colors, and styling
Solid Layers Create solid layers with custom colors, dimensions, and 3D properties
Shape Layers Create custom and preset shape layers (rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars) with full control over vertices, tangents, and feathering
Layer Properties Set position, scale, rotation, opacity, and other transformation properties
Effects Browse effect categories, view available effects with details (BPC support, GPU acceleration), and apply them to layers with customizable parameters
Scripting Execute arbitrary ExtendScript code for advanced customization

Each tool implements After Effects functionality via ExtendScript and exposes a clean Go API that follows the MCP specification.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Adobe After Effects (CC 2020 or later recommended)
  • Go/Go+ runtime (for the MCP server)
  • Basic knowledge of After Effects and MCP

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/sunqirui1987/ae-mcp.git
cd ae-mcp

  2. Install dependencies:

    gop mod tidy
gop build ./cmd/ae-mcp/

  3. Install the After Effects ExtendScript:

    • Open After Effects
    • Go to File > Scripts > Run Script File...
    • Select the js/ae-mcp.jsx file

Running the MCP Server

To use with Claude or other AI assistants, add the following MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aftereffects": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/ae-mcp.exe",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/your/ae-mcp.exe with the actual path to the ae-mcp executable on your system. For example, if you cloned the repository to C:/projects/ae-mcp, the path would be C:/projects/ae-mcp/ae-mcp.exe.

For Claude Desktop: Go to Claude > Settings > Developer > Edit Config and add the above configuration.

For Cursor: Go to Settings > MCP > Add Server to add the configuration.

The server will start and listen for connections from AI models.

🎬 Using with Claude

Once the MCP server is running and configured in Claude, you'll be able to interact with After Effects using natural language commands.

Example Commands

Here are some examples of what you can ask Claude to do:

  • "Create a new composition named 'Intro Animation' with 1920x1080 resolution"
  • "Add a text layer with the message 'Welcome!' and center it"
  • "Apply a Gaussian Blur effect to the text layer with a blur radius of 15"
  • "Create a simple logo animation with a bounce effect"
  • "Add a solid layer and apply a Glow effect to it"
  • "Create a star shape with 5 points and make it spin"
  • "Draw a custom shape path in the form of a wave"
  • "Show me all the blur effects available in After Effects"
  • "Apply a Color Balance effect to the background layer"
  • "Add camera movement that slowly zooms in on the text"
  • "Export the composition as an MP4 file"

Capabilities

  • Get project and composition information
  • Create and modify compositions
  • Add and manipulate various layer types (text, solid, shape, etc.)
  • Browse and apply effects with detailed parameter control
  • Control animation and keyframes
  • Manage project assets and media
