motion_api Program API ~64

motion_review Review a motion graphic ~810
Everything to look at before rendering, measured: the check at each aspect, when it settles and how long it holds still (with a warning when the entrance is slow or the hold too short to read its words), how much of an overlay sits under Reels', Shorts' and TikTok's own interface at 9:16, and a contact sheet per aspect (returned as images, written with a review.md to outDir).

motion_sound Sound design for a motion graphic ~825

Needs no ffmpeg. Use motion_render with sound: true to mux it into the video instead.

How do I install the Volito MCP server?
Volito runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y volito. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.
npm · volito
claude mcp add monarcpro-volito -- npx -y volito
What is the Volito MCP server?
Volito is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.monarcpro/volito. Motion graphics as code: find, preview and render lower thirds, titles, charts and 3D to video. This page covers its npm package (volito).
Is the Volito MCP server safe to use?
Volito scores 64 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Volito MCP server expose?
Volito exposes 12 tools: motion_list, motion_info, motion_styles, motion_moves, motion_preview, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 5,357 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Volito MCP server still maintained?
Volito is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
