Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Motion Tools when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer remote streaming HTTP/SSE transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
One tool's schema: field keys with max lengths and examples, design variants (each with its own canvas — some are vertical 9:16), colour schemes, and a ready-to-copy example call.
render_motion_tool
Queues a render, returns a `renderId` immediately. Repeating a call with identical parameters returns the cached result instead of re-rendering.
get_motion_render
Poll the `renderId` until `status` is `completed`, then read `downloadUrl`.
