generate_svg_animation
Generate an SVG animation from a source file and prompt
LABSCO SUMMARY
The motion is described in words and applied to artwork that is already yours.
The source file matters as much as the prompt: this animates an existing SVG rather than drawing a new one, so the shapes it moves are the ones you designed. The result is written to a path rather than returned inline, which keeps a large SVG out of the conversation entirely. Three parameters cover the whole surface — where the source is, what should happen, and where the result goes.
What it is
A single-tool SVG animator: a source file in, a description of the motion, an animated file out.
What you get
- An animation generated from an existing SVG file and a prompt describing the motion, written to the output path you name.
Requirements
An SVG file on disk, a writable output path, and an Allyson API key supplied to the server.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — npx allyson-mcp --api-key <YOUR_API_KEY>, then supply credentials
USE CASES
01
Bringing a static illustration to life without hand-writing the animation
The existing artwork is the input, the motion is described in words, and the animated file is written where you point it.
1 tool
Counted once with only startup setup. Other versions, modes or optional credentials may expose a different list.
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
1 tool when we connected. generate_svg_animation overwrites whatever is at output_path, and both svg_path and output_path must be absolute. Output is a component file such as .tsx, not a plain .svg.
Requires
- npx on PATH
- Node.js 18.0.0 or later
- API_KEY in your environment
Where it runs
Both documented clients run the server on your machine.
