Install the Motion AI Kit

The Motion AI Kit ships in three pieces that install separately:

• The AI Kit MCP — gives your AI agent access to the latest Motion docs, examples, and saved transitions.
• The AI Kit Skills — /motion, /motion-audit, /css-spring, /see-transition. Skills are installed via a one-shot script for popular agents.
• The AI Kit Extension — visual transition editor for Cursor and VS Code.

MCP

The free tier of the AI Kit MCP includes:

• AI context: Motion documentation search and saved transitions, all queryable by your LLM. (Source code for 370+ examples is a Motion+ unlock, see below.)

• CSS spring generation

To install, add the following to your editor's MCP JSON settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "motion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "https://api.motion.dev/registry.tgz?package=motion-studio-mcp&version=latest"]
    }
  }
}

The exact process differs by editor, but here are the MCP docs for popular apps:

• VS Code (search "mcp.json")

• Windsurf

• Claude Desktop

• Claude Code

Unlock Motion+ features

To enable Motion+ features like the full examples context (source code for every premium example) and your saved transitions, install with your personal access token:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "motion": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "https://api.motion.dev/registry.tgz?package=motion-studio-mcp&version=latest"],
      "env": {
        "TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
      },
    }
  }
}

Skills

The AI Kit skills (/motion, /motion-audit, /css-spring, /see-transition) ship via a one-shot installer. First, generate a personal token in your dashboard, then run:

curl -sL "https://api.motion.dev/registry/skills/motion-ai-kit?token=YOUR_TOKEN" -o /tmp/ai-kit.sh && bash /tmp/ai-kit.sh

The script picks which skills to install and writes them to your editor:

• Cursor

• Claude Code

• Windsurf

• Amp

• OpenCode

• Gemini CLI

• VS Code

Extension

The AI Kit visual transition editor is available as the official Motion Extension on the VS Code Marketplace, and on the Open VSX marketplace for other editors.
