Install & config
Client config (built from the install command this repo gives)
{
"mcpServers": {
"hideewsj-maker-motion-skills": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["motion-skills"]
}
}
}Parsed from the README we fetched on 2026-11-11; we have not executed it.
command/args come from the install command the repository states. When it is ambiguous, the project README wins.
VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json - the key is servers)
{
"servers": {
"hideewsj-maker-motion-skills": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["motion-skills"]
}
}
}Same server, but VS Code keeps it under <code>servers</code>.
Claude Code (command line)
claude mcp add --transport stdio hideewsj-maker-motion-skills -- npx motion-skills
Claude Code does not read a config file; add the server with this command.

以下摘录自该仓库的 README（片段） · 在 GitHub 读完整 README →
Motion Director is a free Claude Code skill for making short animated videos, and a free alternative to Claude Motion for people on Pro or Max. Claude Motion is in beta on Claude Team and Enterprise only. With this skill, your coding agent takes your own material (a site, a repo, a changelog, a spreadsheet, notes) and directs a short animated film with music: a launch teaser, a product demo, an explainer, a data video or a vertical short. It renders the MP4 on your computer.
No Remotion setup. The agent writes the film as one HTML page (HTML, CSS and GSAP), and the engine renders it in the Chrome you already have.
Any Claude plan. It works on Pro and Max and in other agents; you don't need Claude Motion, which is in beta on Team and Enterprise.
No video model, no credits, no upload. Everything runs and renders locally.
Checked before you see it. Before rendering, the engine looks for cut-off, covered and low-contrast text, blank stretches and single-frame pops.
Made by Motion Director from the sample examples/CHANGELOG.md (a made-up app). The real film has its own score.
In this README: Quick start · Three runs, start to finish · What it makes · How it compares · Security and privacy
## Quick start
1. Check your machine. You need Node.js 22+, FFmpeg and Chrome:
sh
npx motion-skills doctor
2. Install the skill. Copy skills/motion-director into your agent's skills folder:
| Agent | Folder |
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/skills/motion-director/ (or .claude/skills/ inside a project) |
| Codex | ~/.agents/skills/motion-director/ |
| Cursor | .cursor/skills/motion-director/ inside the project |
| Gemini CLI | ~/.gemini/skills/motion-director/ |
sh
git clone https://github.com/hideewsj-maker/motion-skills.git
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -R motion-skills/skills/motion-director ~/.claude/skills/
Or ask your agent to do it: "Install the motion-director skill from https://github.com/hideewsj-maker/motion-skills into your skills folder."
3. Ask for a film:
> Use the motion-director skill: a 15-second launch teaser for our 2.0 release, 16:9, from the notes in CHANGELOG.md.
The agent proposes three directions, each a one-line pitch with one still. You pick one, and it builds the film, writes its music, checks every frame and renders out/film.mp4. To change it, say so in plain words: "make the second scene shorter", "use our brand colours". You can also open npx motion-skills studio, click a spot in the frame and type the change there.
## Three runs, start to finish
What went in, what was asked, what came out and how long it took. Each is one whole run on November 12, 2026, with Claude Opus 5.5 as the coding agent and nobody at the keyboard: the agent drew its three directions, picked one itself and rendered. Nobody asked for a change afterwards. The films are shown as they were rendered (the real ones have music).
