# 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
```bash
# 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:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"motion-dev": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["./dist/index.js"],
"cwd": "$HOME/motion-dev-mcp"
}
}
}
```
**Or using Claude Code CLI:**
```bash
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
```typescript
// Find spring animation docs
search_motion_docs({
"query": "spring animations",
"framework": "react",
"limit": 10
})
```
### Get Component API
```typescript
// Get motion.div with examples
get_component_api({
"component": "motion.div",
"framework": "react"
})
// Returns: 10+ relevant examples with descriptions
```
### Generate Multi-Animation Components
```typescript
// Combine multiple animation patterns
generate_motion_component({
"animations": ["scale", "rotate"],
"framework": "react",
"componentName": "AnimatedBox"
})
// Returns: Component with combined scale + rotate animations
```
### Cross-Framework Conversion
```typescript
// Convert React to Vue
convert_between_frameworks({
"from": "react",
"to": "vue",
"code": "<motion.div animate={{ x: 100, rotate: 90 }} />"
})
```
### Comprehensive Validation
```typescript
// 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
### Database Management
```bash
# Rebuild all documentation (updates examples and components)
npm run rebuild
# Check current database statistics
npm run stats
# Custom database path
MOTION_DB_PATH=./custom/docs.db npm run rebuild
```
### Development
```bash
# Build TypeScript
npm run build
# Test MCP server startup
node dist/index.js
# Debug database content
sqlite3 docs/motion-docs.db "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM motion_examples;"
```
## 📊 Current Database Statistics
- **Documentation**: 26 pages (React: 7, JavaScript: 13, Vue: 6)
- **Components**: 63 enhanced definitions with descriptions
- **Examples**: 351 working code examples across all frameworks
- **Database Size**: ~15MB with full content and search indexes
- **FTS5 Support**: ✅ Enabled with automatic LIKE fallback
## 🏗️ Architecture
### SQLite-First Design
