AI GIF Maker MCP server

Turn text into animated GIFs with AI GIF Maker. Native GIF generation — no video conversion. Type what you want and download your GIF in about a minute.

This is the official MCP server for AI GIF Maker. It lets Claude, Cursor, Cline, Gemini CLI or any MCP client make a GIF on your own account: describe it in chat, get the GIF URL back.

Tools

Tool

What it does

generate_gif

Text prompt in, animated GIF URL out. Waits for the GIF (usually about a minute)

check_gif

Collects a GIF that was still queued when generate_gif returned (free to call)

check_credits

Credits left on your account (free to call)

Related MCP server: video2gif

API key

Create one at https://aigifmaker.ai/settings/apikeys and set it as AIGIFMAKER_API_KEY.

Each GIF costs 1 credit on your AI GIF Maker account, the same as on the website. New accounts get one free GIF (it carries a small aigifmaker.ai badge). A GIF that fails to generate gives its credit back. Credit packs are on the pricing page.

Install

npx -y aigifmaker-mcp

Claude Desktop / Claude Code / Cursor / Cline

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aigifmaker": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "aigifmaker-mcp"],
      "env": { "AIGIFMAKER_API_KEY": "sk-..." }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code in one line: claude mcp add aigifmaker -e AIGIFMAKER_API_KEY=sk-... -- npx -y aigifmaker-mcp

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/hanshs474/aigifmaker-mcp

Claude Code plugin

claude plugin marketplace add hanshs474/aigifmaker-mcp
claude plugin install aigifmaker@aigifmaker

Docker

docker build -t aigifmaker-mcp . && docker run -i --rm -e AIGIFMAKER_API_KEY=sk-... aigifmaker-mcp

Notes

  • A run from an account that has not bought credits yet may wait in a short queue before it starts; generate_gif keeps waiting (up to 5 minutes); if it is still queued after that, it returns the task id and check_gif collects the GIF when it is ready.

  • Text to GIF only. There is no frame count, size, photo-to-GIF or editing option.

  • AIGIFMAKER_BASE_URL overrides the endpoint; only useful against a local build of the site.

Development

npm install
npm test                          # build + mocked unit tests, offline
node --test test/smoke.live.mjs   # two free live checks, no generation

    A4/5.0

    Scored across 3 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool targets a distinct action on a distinct concern: generate_gif creates a job, check_gif polls a specific job by task id, and check_credits reads account balance. There is no plausible way to confuse one with another, and the descriptions make the generation-then-poll flow explicit.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All three tools follow the same verb_noun snake_case pattern (generate_gif, check_gif, check_credits), with the shared 'check_' prefix clearly grouping the two read-only/free operations.

    Tool Count4/5

    Three tools is at the lean end but each earns its place: generation, async polling, and credit lookup are all necessary for the stated workflow. Nothing extraneous, though the surface is thin enough that any addition (cancel, history) would round it out.

    Completeness4/5

    The core lifecycle is covered end to end: submit a prompt, retrieve the result asynchronously, and verify the account has credits before spending. Minor gaps exist — no way to cancel or delete a job, list past GIFs, or check status without the task id — but agents can work around these.
