after-effects-mcp and mcp-server

These are competitors offering overlapping functionality—both enable programmatic control of Adobe After Effects compositions—though the first provides direct ExtendScript-based control while the second abstracts that through Plainly's cloud API.

About after-effects-mcp

Dakkshin/after-effects-mcp

MCP Server for Adobe After Effects. Enables remote control (compositions, text, shapes, solids, properties) via the Model Context Protocol using ExtendScript.

This project provides a way for AI assistants or other specialized applications to directly control Adobe After Effects. It takes high-level commands, such as "create a new composition with these settings" or "animate this text layer," and executes them within After Effects. Motion graphic designers, video editors, and animators can use this to automate repetitive tasks or integrate After Effects into larger automated creative workflows.
