AI-driven After Effects Automation via MCP

MCP server and CEP plugin enable code models (Codex/Cursor/Claude) to drive After Effects with 30 tools.

AI-Driven After Effects Automation via MCP

This tool leverages the power of AI code models to automate complex tasks within Adobe After Effects. By integrating an MCP server with a CEP plugin, developers can now control After Effects programmatically using natural language or code generated by AI assistants like Codex, Cursor, or Claude. This significantly streamlines workflows, allowing for rapid iteration and the creation of sophisticated animations and visual effects with reduced manual effort.

What it Does

The core functionality revolves around bridging the gap between AI code generation and After Effects' extensive toolset. The MCP server acts as an intermediary, receiving instructions from the AI model and translating them into actionable commands for After Effects via the CEP plugin. This enables users to automate tasks such as:

Generating complex animation sequences.
Applying and manipulating effects programmatically.
Batch processing of compositions.
Creating dynamic titles and graphics.
Integrating AI-generated assets into projects.
