Documentation for LLMs

LLMs are trained on web data that's often years old, leading to generated code that lacks newer APIs, or includes removed ones.

The Motion Studio MCP provides the latest Motion documentation to your LLM via Resources.

Additionally, Motion+ users can access an additional MCP server to access docs for Motion+ APIs.

Usage

Once installed, the exact process for using Resources varys by editor.

Cursor

To view your MCP servers, go to Settings > Cursor Settings > Tools & MCPs.

Clicking on the dropdown will open up all available Resources.

Click on the topic you want to open the docs - from here you can add them into your chat window.

VS Code

Motion docs can be added to any chat by clicking the "Add Context…" button:

Then selecting "MCP Resources…"

Then searching for the docs you want to attach:

Windsurf

In Windsurf, a Resource can be referenced directly in your prompt using @resources. This will open a selection menu where you can choose the documentation you want to attach.

Claude Desktop

In Claude Desktop, a Resource currently has to be manually attached to the current prop via the + button.

From here, you can select Add from motion, which will display a full list of docs.

The "Search menu" at the top can help you narrow down this list to only the APIs you're looking for.
