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 51 of 52 checks got a reply (98.1%), average response time 616 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 616 ms on average, which is faster than 16% 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?
Yes — 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
