GIF Creator MCP is an MCP server that converts video files into GIF animations with configurable output settings. It is useful for automating GIF generation as part of model-assisted workflows, enabling clients to request video-to-GIF conversions through the MCP protocol.

How to use

To use the GIF Creator MCP server with an MCP client, integrate it as a server endpoint that accepts a convert_video_to_gif request and returns the resulting GIF. You can also run it locally and configure your MCP client to connect via a local stdio setup as shown below.

How to install

Prerequisites: Node.js and FFmpeg (FFmpeg is automatically installed via @ffmpeg-installer/ffmpeg when used by the tool). Install dependencies and build the MCP server.

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

Additional notes about setup and usage

The GIF Creator MCP server supports starting via a local stdio configuration. Use the following MCP config example to run the server locally by invoking Node on the built entry point.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gif-creator": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/gif-creator-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Notes

The output GIF is saved in the same directory as the input video and uses the original filename with a .gif extension.
Large videos may take significant time to process. The tool uses an optimized palette for higher quality GIFs.
