Scored across 30 tools
Several tools do essentially the same thing: apply-effect, add-any-effect, and mcp_aftereffects_applyEffect are all described as applying an effect to a layer, and apply-effect-template duplicates mcp_aftereffects_applyEffectTemplate. set-effect-property vs set-effect-keyframe also overlap heavily with setLayerKeyframe, making selection ambiguous.
The set mixes kebab-case (run-script, apply-effect), camelCase (setLayerKeyframe, setLayerExpression, center-layers), and a prefixed namespace (mcp_aftereffects_applyEffect). Three distinct conventions coexist with no discernible pattern, though most names are still readable individually.
30 tools exceeds a reasonable scope for this server, and several are near-exact duplicates (apply-effect/add-any-effect/mcp_aftereffects_applyEffect, template variants) that inflate the count without adding capability. The genuine functional surface is smaller than the tool list suggests.
The domain of After Effects automation is broadly covered across scripting, effects, presets, markers, audio, layers, and compositions. However, basic lifecycle operations like listing/getting compositions, deleting compositions, or enumerating layers are absent despite the large surface, leaving some dead ends.
