Install the Motion AI Kit

Install Motion AI Kit with a single command.

npx motion-ai

It prompts whether to install for this project or globally, and which agents to set up: Claude Code, Cursor, Amp, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Copilot, or a custom folder.

Once installed, you might need to manually activate the MCP servers via your agent's MCP options.

Cursor

Transition editor

For agents, the transition editor is automatically available anywhere that supports MCP Apps.

It's also possible to install a real-time editor via the official Motion Extension via the VS Code Marketplace, and on the Open VSX marketplace for other editors.

Upgrading

Re-run the installer at the same scope to upgrade:

npx motion-ai@latest

It rewrites the installed skills and the motion MCP configuration in place.

Earlier versions of the kit configured a local MCP server with a Motion+ API key. That flow is retired: if your agent still lists a motion server that runs an npx command with a TOKEN, remove it. The kit now uses Motion's hosted MCP servers, and Motion+ access comes from signing in via your agent instead. Your API key is no longer needed.
