TypeScript MCP server for Adobe After Effects (Windows & macOS) — project/comp/layer introspection, atomic undo-grouped operations, JSON project export/import, and single-frame rendering via file IPC.
An MCP server that enables AI to control Adobe After Effects.
You can connect MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Code or Claude Desktop to a running instance of After Effects, allowing the AI to handle everything from project inspection and editing to rendering.
There is no need to provide detailed instructions on how to operate After Effects. Simply explain what you want to achieve in natural language, and the AI will check the project status and perform the necessary operations.
Windows / macOS · After Effects 2024–2026 · Node.js 24+
[!CAUTION] This tool directly manipulates After Effects projects via AI.
The AI can read project contents and modify compositions, layers, effects, keyframes, and more.
Additionally, information the AI reads from the project may be sent to the AI service you are using. This may include composition names, layer names, expressions, keyframes, footage file paths, etc.
If using this for projects under NDA or unreleased works, please check the data retention policy of the AI service you are using and the logs of your MCP client beforehand.
For first-time use, we recommend trying it with a backup or a test .aep file rather than a critical project.
With mcp-aftereffects, you can request the AI to perform After Effects tasks.
- Inspect project contents - Investigate compositions and layers - Edit layers and properties - Add or modify keyframes - Edit effects and masks - Edit text and shapes - Set expressions - Save projects - Create and restore project backups - Render frames to preview changes
