Your route. Your assistant. A finished video.

Travel Animator MCP gives compatible AI assistants tools to build travel animations. You describe the trip; the assistant creates a project, adds stops, applies map and vehicle settings, and follows the render through to a video file.

The server runs as a local process using stdio. Your client starts it and discovers its tools. This website is the documentation, not a remote MCP endpoint.

From idea to MP4

Work in small steps: connect your client, check the machine and account, build the route, review the animation, then render. Keep the project ID so later changes apply to the right trip.

  • Connect: install the MCP extra and sign in.
  • Create: choose stops, road or straight-line segments, and a vehicle.
  • Style: select a map, framing, duration, and route line.
  • Render: review the estimate, start the job, and follow progress.

Quick connection

Install with Python 3.12 or newer, run travel-animator login in your terminal, then register the server in your client. The quickstart walks through each step.

Terminal
pip install "travel-animator[mcp]"
travel-animator login

Before you begin

You need Python 3.12+, an MCP client with local stdio support, and a Travel Animator account. You must purchase credits to export a video. Each export costs one credit, regardless of duration or resolution. Rendering also requires premium access, internet access, and a supported rendering environment.
