Creator MCP

Creator MCP gives your AI agent tools to create, preview, and export animations. Turn a brief into a scene, make targeted edits, and deliver files for your website, app, or video.

Connect once with your LottieFiles account, then work in conversation. The MCP runs remotely; you don't need to install it or open an editor.

Make your first animation

Start here

Create a loop, review its motion, and download the result.

Connect your MCP client

Bring your preferred client

Set up Claude, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client.

From brief to finished file

Describe the result

Start with a prompt or supply SVG artwork, a PNG asset, or an existing animation. You can also set the dimensions, duration, colors, and intended use.

Preview and refine

Your agent builds the scene and returns a filmstrip or still. In Claude and ChatGPT, it can also play the animation in the chat, where you pin comments to a moment and send them to the agent. Ask for changes to timing, layout, or individual elements. The document persists between requests.

Export and use it

Download Lottie JSON, dotLottie, MP4, WebM, or a PNG still. Any sounds you add play in exported videos and can be bundled with Lottie files. Save the animation to your LottieFiles workspace, or open it in Lottie Creator to keep editing by hand.

What will you make?

Motion for websites and apps

Loading indicators, success states, looping illustrations, and animated SVG artwork.

Brand and campaign graphics

Logo reveals, product loops, social promos, and transparent video overlays.

Data stories and explainers

Animated charts, process diagrams, and walkthroughs built from your assets.

Refine existing animations

Import a scene, inspect its structure, and change the parts you name.

Use an MCP client with remote HTTP and OAuth support. A client that displays tool-result images lets you review filmstrips in the conversation. A client that supports MCP Apps, such as Claude or ChatGPT, also shows the preview card. See client setup for instructions.

Know before you start

Text: headlines, labels, and captions are editable text. The bundled font covers Latin characters; for a brand font or another script, supply a TTF, OTF, or TTC file. Some animated text features render in video but not in Lottie; see text.
Audio: supply an MP3, WAV, Ogg, FLAC, AAC, or M4A file (up to 8 MiB when your agent can upload it, otherwise below roughly 3 MiB), and the agent places it on the timeline with fades. MP4 and WebM exports include the soundtrack; Lottie and dotLottie carry the sound. See audio.
Preview: in clients that support MCP Apps, such as Claude and ChatGPT, you can play the animation in the chat, comment on it, and download an MP4. See Preview & refine in chat.
Delivery: rendered video and Lottie have different capabilities. Choose your output format early.

Creator MCP is a standalone tool that can hand a finished animation to Lottie Creator. To manage account data and workspace content, use LottieFiles MCP instead.
