motion-mcp

MCP server for Motion Creator Studio -- open, export, save, and manage Motion projects via System Events UI scripting.

Requirements

• macOS with Motion Creator Studio (com.apple.motionappApp) installed
• Accessibility permissions granted for System Events UI scripting

Install

npm install
npm run build

Usage

npm start

Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | motion_open | Open a .motn project file | | motion_list_projects | List all open project windows | | motion_export | Export current project as movie (Share > Export Movie) | | motion_save | Save current project (Cmd+S) | | motion_close | Close current project (Cmd+W), optionally saving first | | motion_new | Create new project from template (File > New from Template) |

Notes

Motion Creator Studio has no AppleScript dictionary (NSAppleScriptEnabled=false), so all tools use System Events UI scripting. This requires Accessibility permissions to be granted in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility.
