Target Reference Server
Motionspec Overview
The MasterPlayspots/motionspec MCP server validates structured web-animation specifications against an approved catalog and compiles accepted specs into vanilla-GSAP JavaScript and CSS. Agents can run it locally with `npx motionspec`, while a hosted streamable-HTTP endpoint provides keyless catalog and validation access. The compiler enforces reduced-motion behavior, checks animation budgets, rejects unsafe input, and adds pause-path handling for continuous loops. Reach for it when an AI-generated web interface needs deterministic, accessibility-aware motion output rather than unconstrained animation code.
Primary Use Cases for Motionspec:
- Validate AI-authored animation specifications before deployment
- Compile approved motion specs into GSAP JavaScript and CSS
- Check web animations for reduced-motion and pause-path requirements
- Inspect the approved motion primitive catalog
