# Platform
Connect AI assistants and applications to LottieFiles with the hosted MCP server, GraphQL API, and developer platform tools.

To build tools and AI workflows on top of LottieFiles, start here. The Platform section covers the hosted MCP server for AI assistants today, with GraphQL and REST API documentation coming next.

    Query and manage your LottieFiles data programmatically with GraphQL. Full API documentation is on its way — until
    then, the MCP server can explore the schema for you.

## Which MCP Do I Need?

LottieFiles ships two MCP servers for different jobs:

|                  | LottieFiles MCP                                                             | Lottie Creator MCP                                               |
| :--------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **What it does** | Works with your LottieFiles account data — workspaces, projects, animations | Builds and edits animations inside Lottie Creator                |
| **How it runs**  | Remote, hosted at `mcp.lottiefiles.com`                                     | Local npm package that bridges to a Creator browser tab          |
| **Sign-in**      | OAuth with your LottieFiles account                                         | Enabled from Lottie Creator                                      |
| **Docs**         | [LottieFiles MCP](/en/platform/mcp)                                         | [Lottie Creator MCP](/en/creator/13_ai-tools/lottie-creator-mcp) |

Use both together for an assistant that creates animations in Creator _and_ organizes them in your workspace.
