Control Adobe After Effects from Claude — with real keyframes, real easing, and a way for the AI to check its own work.
Built and used in-house at ease Production, a motion graphics and animation studio in Muscat, Oman. Based on the open-source after-effects-mcp by Dakkshin (MIT).
The original server can create comps and layers and set simple keyframes. We needed the AI to animate the way an animator does, so we added:
Tool | What it does |
| Runs any ExtendScript with the AK toolkit preloaded (comp/layer/property lookup, shape builders, effect controls). Errors come back as |
| Pose-to-pose keyframes with temporal ease (speed + influence), presets ( |
| Many properties on many layers in a single round-trip. |
| Applies a whole JSON "dope sheet" from disk. |
| Reads keys back and samples evaluated values, so the AI can verify curves numerically. |
| Layers, parenting, effects, keyed properties and expressions in one call. |
| Flags frames where position acceleration spikes — finds pops and broken contacts. |
| Renders PNG stills so the AI can look at the result. |
| Renders to MP4 and waits for it. |
| Save, and import PSD/AI as layered comps. |
All original tools (create-composition, apply-effect, apply-effect-template, setLayerKeyframe, setLayerExpression, …) are still there.

Download ease-ae-mcp.mcpb from the latest release.
Double-click it, or drag it into Claude Desktop → Settings → Extensions, and click Install.
No Node.js or terminal needed — Claude Desktop runs it.
git clone https://github.com/itareq92/ease-ae-mcp.git
cd ease-ae-mcp
npm install # also buildsThen add to your MCP client config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"ease-ae-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/ease-ae-mcp/build/index.js"]
}
}
}Edit → Preferences → Scripting & Expressions (macOS: After Effects → Settings) → enable Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network.
Open the bridge panel:
Quick: File → Scripts → Run Script File… → Documents/ae-mcp-bridge/mcp-bridge-auto.jsx (the server copies it there the first time Claude starts it).
Permanent: run node install-bridge.js as administrator, restart AE, then Window → mcp-bridge-auto.jsx.
Keep the panel open with Auto-run commands ticked.
Ask Claude something like: "Create a 1920×1080 comp called Intro, add a ball, and make it bounce three times with proper squash and ease. Then save frames at 0.5s, 1s and 1.5s so you can check it."
Claude ⇄ MCP server (Node) ⇄ JSON files in Documents/ae-mcp-bridge/ ⇄ bridge panel inside After Effects.
The panel polls for a command file, runs it inside one undo group, and writes the result back. That's why the panel must stay open.

run-jsx executes arbitrary ExtendScript in After Effects with file and network access. Only use it with clients and prompts you trust, and save your project before long sessions.
Developed and used daily on After Effects 2025 for Windows. macOS should work but has not been tested by us.

تحكّم في أفتر إفكتس من Claude — بكي فريمز حقيقية وإيزنق حقيقي، ومع أدوات تخلي الذكاء الاصطناعي يراجع شغله بنفسه.
هذي الأداة نستخدمها داخلياً في ease Production، استوديو موشن جرافيك وأنيميشن في مسقط. مبنية على المشروع المفتوح after-effects-mcp لـ Dakkshin (رخصة MIT).
النسخة الأصلية تسوي كومبوزيشن وطبقات وكي فريمز بسيطة. احنا كنا نحتاج الذكاء الاصطناعي يحرّك مثل ما يحرّك الأنيميتر، فأضفنا:
set-keyframes و batch-keyframes: كي فريمز بإيزنق زمني (سرعة + تأثير) وقوالب جاهزة، ومسارات منحنية للحركة.
run-jsx: يشغّل أي سكربت ExtendScript ومعه مكتبة AK جاهزة، وإذا صار خطأ يرجع لك رقم السطر.
get-keyframes و sample-values و inspect-comp: يقرأ الحركة ويتأكد منها بالأرقام.
motion-check: يطلع لك الفريمات اللي فيها قفزة أو نطّة غلط في الحركة.
save-frames: يصدّر صور ثابتة عشان Claude يشوف النتيجة ويعدّلها.
render-comp: يرندر MP4 وينتظر لين يخلص.
الطريقة الأسهل (Claude Desktop):
١. حمّل ملف ease-ae-mcp.mcpb من آخر إصدار.
٢. افتحه بضغطتين، أو اسحبه إلى Claude Desktop ← Settings ← Extensions واضغط Install.
ما تحتاج Node.js ولا ترمنال.
بعدها داخل أفتر إفكتس:
١. Edit ← Preferences ← Scripting & Expressions، وفعّل Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access Network.
٢. File ← Scripts ← Run Script File… واختر الملف Documents/ae-mcp-bridge/mcp-bridge-auto.jsx.
٣. خل اللوحة مفتوحة وخيار Auto-run commands مفعّل.
جرّب تقول لـ Claude: "سوّ كومب 1920×1080 اسمه Intro، وحط كرة تنط ثلاث مرات بسكواش وإيزنق صح، وبعدين صدّر فريمات عند 0.5 و1 و1.5 ثانية وراجعها."
الأداة مقدّمة كما هي وبدون دعم فني. أي مشكلة اكتبها في GitHub Issues مو في الخاص، عشان الجواب يفيد الكل.
أداة run-jsx تشغّل أي كود داخل أفتر إفكتس، فاحفظ مشروعك قبل الجلسات الطويلة.
