## What it does

Your AI writes Motion code that actually works — because it can look up the real API instead of guessing.

```tsx
// Without MCP — AI hallucinates
import { useViewportScroll } from "framer-motion"  // wrong

// With MCP — AI looks it up
import { useScroll, useTransform } from "motion/react"  // correct
const { scrollYProgress } = useScroll({ target: ref, offset: ["start end", "end start"] });
```

## Tools

| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| **`get_api`** | Props, types, defaults, and usage for any component or hook |
| **`search_docs`** | Find the right API — *"how to animate on scroll"* |
| **`get_examples`** | Working code by category — scroll, drag, layout, exit, SVG... |
| **`generate_animation`** | Describe what you want &rarr; get a working component |
| **`get_transitions`** | Spring, tween, inertia config and orchestration |
| **`list_apis`** | Browse all 33 APIs, filter by kind |

---

## Coverage

**33 APIs** — verified against [`motiondivision/motion`](https://github.com/motiondivision/motion) v12 source code.

| | |
|-|-|
| **Components** | `motion` `AnimatePresence` `LayoutGroup` `LazyMotion` `MotionConfig` `Reorder.Group` `Reorder.Item` |
| **Hooks** | `useAnimate` `useMotionValue` `useTransform` `useSpring` `useScroll` `useInView` `useMotionValueEvent` `useVelocity` `useTime` `useMotionTemplate` `useDragControls` `useAnimationFrame` `useReducedMotion` `useIsPresent` `usePresence` `usePresenceData` `useWillChange` `useCycle` `usePageInView` |
| **Functions** | `animate` `stagger` `hover` `press` `scroll` `inView` |

**14 example categories** — animation, gestures, scroll, layout, exit, drag, hover, SVG, transitions, variants, keyframes, spring, reorder, performance.

Every prop, every default, every example — cross-referenced against the source, not just the docs.

## Why this over the other one

| | motion-dev-react-mcp | [the other MCP](https://github.com/Abhishekrajpurohit/motion-dev-mcp) |
|-|---|---|
| **APIs** | 33 | 9 (5 broken) |
| **Dependencies** | 2 | 180+ (SQLite, Babel, Cheerio...) |
| **Framework** | React only | React + Vue + JS (stubs) |
| **Defaults** | Source-verified | From docs (some wrong) |
| **Tests** | 70 passing | 1 (`1+1=2`) |
| **Last updated** | Active | Aug 2025 |
