Is there an official After Effects MCP server?
No After Effects-owned namespace has published a server to the registry yet. The servers below are built by other developers. Read the code, check what it can change, and give it the narrowest access key After Effects offers.
After Effects MCP servers in the registry
| Server | What it does | How it runs | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|
After Effects MCP Serverio.github.zachshallbetter/adobe-mcp-aftereffectsGitHub: zachshallbetter | Drive Adobe After Effects from any MCP client: compositions, layers, animation and rendering. | Registry package: adobe-mcp-aftereffects | 2026-10-20 |
After Effects MCPio.oneprism/after-effectsoneprism.io | An MCP connector for Adobe After Effects. Real, editable layers and keyframes, not scripts. | Hosted: https://live.oneprism.io/after-effects | 2026-08-11 |
How do I connect the After Effects MCP server to Claude?
A local package is listed as adobe-mcp-aftereffects. Use the publisher's installation instructions for its complete command, arguments and authentication settings. A package name alone is not a complete Claude Desktop or Claude Code configuration.
Does the After Effects MCP server work with ChatGPT?
This listing includes a local package but no hosted endpoint. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote server; check the publisher's current instructions for a hosted option. The registry entry alone does not establish whether the vendor offers one.
How do I add it to Cursor?
Use the publisher's Cursor or local MCP instructions to fill in .cursor/mcp.json. Include its complete arguments and required environment fields; the package listing above is not a ready-to-run configuration.
