Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Motion Tools every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

motion

get_motion_render

Poll a render started with render_motion_tool. Returns status, progress and (when completed) the MP4 download URL.

get_motion_tool

Get one Mographr tool's full schema: customizable fields (with max lengths and examples), design-system variants (use the variant id when rendering), color schemes, output size and an example render call.

list_motion_tools

List Mographr's free motion-graphics tools: customizable animated video templates (lower thirds, titles, intros, callouts) that render a real MP4. Each tool supports custom text, preset color schemes and multiple design systems. Free renders include a small mographr.com watermark; each tool's page offers an interactive editor.

render

render_motion_tool

Render a customized MP4 with a Mographr free tool. Pass the tool slug, optional variantId (a design-system variant from get_motion_tool; defaults to the tool's default variant), optional colorSchemeId, and `fields` — the text values keyed by field key. Returns a renderId to poll with get_motion_render plus the interactive page URL. Free renders carry a small mographr.com watermark and take ~1–3 minutes on the CPU render lane.

Motion Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Motion Tools do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_motion_render, get_motion_tool, list_motion_tools, render_motion_tool. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Motion Tools working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 604 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Motion Tools?

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Motion Tools need an API key?

No. Motion Tools completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Motion Tools?

It answers our handshake in 604 ms on average, which is faster than 23% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Motion Tools open source?

We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
