Motion.dev MCP Server

A production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing comprehensive Motion.dev animation library access for React, JavaScript, and Vue. Features offline documentation, intelligent code generation, and multi-framework support.

🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+ - Required runtime

  • MCP-compatible client - Any AI client supporting Model Context Protocol

Installation & Setup

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/your-username/motion-dev-mcp.git cd motion-dev-mcp # Install dependencies npm install # Build TypeScript npm run build # Initialize documentation database (first time only) npm run rebuild

MCP Client Integration

Configure in your MCP client settings:

{ "mcpServers": { "motion-dev": { "command": "node", "args": ["./dist/index.js"], "cwd": "$HOME/motion-dev-mcp" } } }

Or using Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add node $HOME/motion-dev-mcp/dist/index.js

✨ Features

📚 Offline Documentation System

  • 351 Code Examples across React (119), JavaScript (124), and Vue (108)

  • 26 Documentation Pages with complete Motion.dev coverage

  • 63 Component Definitions with enhanced API references

  • FTS5 Full-Text Search with LIKE fallback for special characters

🛠️ MCP Tools Available

Documentation Access

  • get_motion_docs - Fetch specific Motion.dev documentation

  • search_motion_docs - Full-text search across all docs

  • get_component_api - Component API with examples (e.g., motion.div)

  • get_examples_by_category - Filtered code examples

  • get_framework_guide - Framework-specific guides

Code Generation

  • generate_motion_component - Multi-animation support (scale + rotate)

  • create_animation_sequence - Complex animation timelines

  • convert_between_frameworks - React ↔ JS ↔ Vue conversion

  • validate_motion_syntax - Comprehensive validation against Motion.dev API

  • optimize_motion_code - Performance and accessibility suggestions

🎯 Production Capabilities

Advanced Search System

  • FTS5 + LIKE Hybrid: Handles motion.div and special characters gracefully

  • Framework Filtering: Search within specific framework documentation

  • <50ms Response Times: Optimized SQLite queries with comprehensive indexing

Multi-Framework Code Generation

  • Pattern Combination: Intelligently merges multiple animations (scale + rotate)

  • Cross-Framework: Converts animations between React, JavaScript, and Vue

  • Production Ready: Clean, optimized code with proper TypeScript support

Comprehensive Validation

  • Motion.dev API Validation: Validates against actual property specifications

  • Performance Warnings: Flags layout-triggering animations

  • Accessibility Recommendations: Suggests prefers-reduced-motion support

  • Best Practice Guidance: Framework-specific import and usage validation

📖 Usage Examples

Search Documentation

// Find spring animation docs search_motion_docs({ "query": "spring animations", "framework": "react", "limit": 10 })

Get Component API

// Get motion.div with examples get_component_api({ "component": "motion.div", "framework": "react" }) // Returns: 10+ relevant examples with descriptions

Generate Multi-Animation Components

// Combine multiple animation patterns generate_motion_component({ "animations": ["scale", "rotate"], "framework": "react", "componentName": "AnimatedBox" }) // Returns: Component with combined scale + rotate animations

Cross-Framework Conversion

// Convert React to Vue convert_between_frameworks({ "from": "react", "to": "vue", "code": "<motion.div animate={{ x: 100, rotate: 90 }} />" })

Comprehensive Validation

// Validate Motion.dev syntax validate_motion_syntax({ "code": "<motion.div animate={{ invalidProp: 'bad' }} />", "framework": "react" }) // Returns: Specific errors for invalid properties with suggestions

🔧 Maintenance Commands
