🤖 Using Motion with AI

Give your coding agent current Motion docs:

• Agent skill: npx motion-ai installs the free, MIT-licensed /motion skill and sets up Motion's MCP servers for Claude Code, Cursor, Amp, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and Copilot. Source on GitHub.
• MCP server: https://mcp.motion.dev searches the Motion docs and example metadata. It is free and needs no account.
• llms.txt: motion.dev/llms.txt indexes every docs page. Motion+ pages are labelled as paid, with their install and import.

Motion+ adds example and Motion UI source, MotionScore performance audits and CSS spring generation for your agent.

🎨 Motion Studio

A visual animation editor for your website. Edit keyframes, easing curves and springs on a live timeline, or describe changes to the Ultramotion agent, then apply the result straight to your code with Cursor, Codex or Claude.
