What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 7, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • list_effects

    List video effect templates (dance, sports, meme scenes, etc.). Use the returned `effect` id with animate_photo. `photos` is how many photos the effect needs.

  • animate_photo

    Turn photo(s) into a short video. With `effect` (from list_effects) the effect decides the motion; without it the photo is animated following `prompt`. Costs credits. Returns a task_id; poll get_video for the result (usually 1–5 minutes).

  • create_video

    Generate a short video (5 seconds, 720p, with sound) from a text description only, no photo needed. Costs credits. Returns a task_id; poll get_video.

  • edit_video

    Edit an existing video clip (MP4, up to 15 seconds, 50 MB) following instructions: put the person from a photo into the clip, change outfit, style, background or scene, while keeping the motion and timing. Costs credits (based on clip length). Returns a task_id; poll get_video.

  • create_image

    Generate a new image from text, or edit photo(s) following instructions (change background, outfit, style, lighting, combine several photos). Uses Nano Banana 2 at 1K. Costs credits. Usually returns the image directly; if status is pending, call get_image later.

  • restore_photo

    Repair an old or damaged photo: remove scratches, dust, creases and fading, recover sharp faces, keep everyone exactly as they are. Optionally colorize a black-and-white photo. Costs credits. Returns the restored image (or pending → get_image). Tip: animate the result with animat

  • get_image

    Check an image task from create_image or restore_photo. status is pending, success (image_url ready) or failed (credits refunded).

  • get_video

    Check a generation task. status is pending, success (video_url ready) or failed (credits refunded).

  • list_my_videos

    The user's most recent video generations, newest first.

  • get_credits

    Remaining credits and plan of the connected account.

Common questions

Is AI Photo Animator safe?

It passed 2 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 10 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
