What it does

Let an AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Google Antigravity or any MCP client) work inside your running Adobe After Effects: read the project, build and edit comps, layers, effects, keyframes, text, masks and expressions, render check frames — from plain language.

Every Adobe UI language · vision: mattes and time by sight · a large skills library · built for AI and generative features. AfterEffects-MCP-IMT works with every UI language Adobe ships, and the agent sees the frame: it renders frames and looks at them, draws Object Matte on what it sees — a lasso around each person to keep, ⊕ / ⊖ points for what the matte missed or caught — reads the strokes back and checks a preview that marks the gaps and every person it was told to keep (macOS); it syncs an AI-generated layer with the plate frame by frame and checks every frame. After Effects' scripting has no API for Object Matte strokes, and none of the other After Effects MCP servers we compared draws them. It is built for Adobe's AI and generative features: Roto Brush and Object Matte, Content-Aware Fill, generated image sources animated as native layers.

Two parts: the MCP server — about 270 small, safe operations behind two tools, with a dry run, one undo group per call, checkpoints, a project lock and honest errors; and the skill — the order of work, what a script cannot do in After Effects and how to get around it, step-by-step recipes and plug-in knowledge.

Runs locally next to After Effects on macOS and Windows: install it as described in the GitHub README (npm package @immersive-media-technologies/aftereffects-mcp-imt). By Immersive Media Technologies · Apache-2.0.
