Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Make animated videos by asking Claude, Cursor or any MCP client. Your AI writes it, we render it.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Other
You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http idea-to-motion https://api.ideatomotion.com/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "idea-to-motion": {
      "url": "https://api.ideatomotion.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "idea-to-motion": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.ideatomotion.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

Authorization secret required HTTP header
Bearer , minted at https://ideatomotion.com/connect. Clients that support OAuth 2.1 with PKCE discover the flow from the WWW-Authenticate header instead and do not send this.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Idea to Motion safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

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 (1.0.2) reached the registry 2 months 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?

Idea to Motion — MCP server

Make animated videos by asking your AI client. You connect one MCP server, then ask for a video in the same conversation you ask for anything else.

Your assistant writes the script, plans each scene and writes the animation code. This server synthesizes the voiceover, aligns the animation to word-level timestamps, renders the frames and hands back an MP4. There is no timeline to edit and nothing to install.

Endpoint: https://api.ideatomotion.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP)
Website: https://ideatomotion.com
Docs: https://ideatomotion.com/docs · Tool reference: https://ideatomotion.com/docs/mcp-tools
Registry: com.ideatomotion/idea-to-motion

This repository is the public install reference. The platform itself is

closed-source; everything here is configuration and documentation.

Quick start — Claude Code

{'language': 'bash', 'code': 'claude mcp add ideatomotion https://api.ideatomotion.com/mcp --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer vai_YOUR_KEY"'}

Mint a key at ideatomotion.com/connect. Clients that speak OAuth 2.1 (Claude web and Desktop) need no key at all — you authorize in the browser.

All clients

Client	Auth	Config file
Claude Code	API key header	`~/.claude.json`
Claude web & Desktop	OAuth (no key)	—
Cursor	API key header	`~/.cursor/mcp.json`
VS Code (Copilot)	API key header	`.vscode/mcp.json`
Antigravity	API key header	`~/.gemini/antigravity/mcp_config.json`
Windsurf	API key header	`~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`
Gemini CLI	API key header	`~/.gemini/settings.json or .gemini/settings.json`
Codex CLI	API key header	`~/.codex/config.toml`
Kiro	`mcp-remote` bridge	`.kiro/settings/mcp.json`
Zed	`mcp-remote` bridge	`~/.config/zed/settings.json`

Full copy-paste setup for each, with screenshots: ideatomotion.com/connect.

What you can ask for

Three kinds of video:

`explainer` — narrated. Your AI writes the script; the platform synthesizes the voiceover and times the animation to word-level transcript boundaries.
`motion_graphic` — silent, on-screen text set to music. Needs no voice key, so it is the fastest way to a finished file from a standing start.
`recording` — you upload your own video; your AI picks the cuts and the platform removes the silences and animates around you.

Aspect and length are independent: a 15-second 16:9 clip and a 5-minute 9:16 explainer are both valid.

Voice is bring-your-own-key

Narration runs on your own ElevenLabs or Cartesia account, connected at /connect. That is a separate bill from that provider — we take no cut and never see your key after it is stored. Silent motion graphics need no voice key.

Pricing

Creating and previewing are free and unlimited. You pay only to export a finished MP4 — from $1.00 per minute at 1080p, billed to the second. 720p and below are free with a watermark, with a monthly allowance. Full rate card: ideatomotion.com/pricing.

There is deliberately no `export` MCP tool. Exporting spends real money at a quality the user chooses, so it is an action you take on the platform — not one your agent can take on your behalf.

Client-specific gotchas

Config field names differ per client and fail silently when wrong — a mistyped key leaves the server simply absent, with no error:

Claude web & Desktop — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste the URL.
Claude web & Desktop — You'll be asked to sign in and approve access — no key to copy.
VS Code (Copilot) — MCP tools only run in Agent mode.
VS Code (Copilot) — The root key is servers here — not mcpServers like other clients.
Antigravity — Open it from the agent panel: … → MCP Servers → Manage → View raw config.
Antigravity — Antigravity uses serverUrl, not url. Restart after saving.
Windsurf — Command Palette → “Windsurf: Configure MCP Servers”, or the hammer icon in Cascade.
Windsurf — Cascade caps at 100 active tools; past that, servers silently fail to load.
Gemini CLI — httpUrl selects Streamable HTTP; plain url would mean SSE.
Codex CLI — Codex is the odd one out: TOML, not JSON.
Codex CLI — To keep the key out of the file, drop http_headers and use bearer_token_env_var = "IDEATOMOTION_KEY" instead.
Kiro — Open it from the MCP panel: Kiro → MCP Servers → Edit config, or edit the file directly.
Kiro — Kiro spawns stdio processes, so the mcp-remote bridge carries your key over HTTP.
Kiro — The header has no space after the colon — mcp-remote splits arguments on spaces.
Zed — Newer Zed builds can add a remote server from Settings → AI → MCP Servers directly.
Zed — Note the header has no space after the colon — mcp-remote splits arguments on spaces.
Any other client — If your client speaks Streamable HTTP, prefer a direct entry: url + an Authorization: Bearer header.
Any other client — mcp-remote is only needed for clients that can spawn stdio processes but not call HTTP.
