GIF Creator MCP
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that converts video files to GIF animations.
Features
- Convert any video file to GIF format
- Customize output settings (FPS, dimensions, duration)
- Extract specific portions of videos
- High-quality GIF generation with optimized palette
Installation

In Goose, you can use the Gif Creator tool by going to Advanced Settings > Extension > + Add Custom Extension > and in the command pasting:
I'd also increase the time out to 1000.
For other MCP clients, you can use the following command to start the server:
