after-effects-mcp
MCP server enabling AI assistants to control Adobe After Effects remotely
after-effects-mcp is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that bridges AI assistants like Claude with Adobe After Effects. It allows programmatic control of After Effects compositions, layers, and animations through a standardized protocol. Developers can create compositions, manage layers, set keyframes, and apply expressions via MCP tool calls.
An MCP server connects to After Effects via a custom JSX bridge panel, allowing AI assistants to send commands that create compositions, manage layers, and set animations inside After Effects
