LottieFiles MCP Server

What does “LottieFiles” MCP Server do?

The LottieFiles MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to facilitate AI assistants’ access to the LottieFiles animation platform. It acts as a bridge, empowering AI-driven development workflows to search, retrieve, and interact with Lottie animations programmatically. By exposing endpoints for searching animations, fetching popular animations, and getting detailed information about specific animations, the server enables developers and AI clients to seamlessly incorporate rich animation content into their applications or design processes. This integration streamlines tasks such as discovering relevant animations, retrieving metadata, and automating creative workflows that involve Lottie animations.

How to use this MCP inside flows

Using MCP in FlowHunt

To integrate MCP servers into your FlowHunt workflow, start by adding the MCP component to your flow and connecting it to your AI agent:

Click on the MCP component to open the configuration panel. In the system MCP configuration section, insert your MCP server details using this JSON format:

{
  "lottiefiles": {
    "transport": "streamable_http",
    "url": "https://yourmcpserver.example/pathtothemcp/url"
  }
}

Once configured, the AI agent is now able to use this MCP as a tool with access to all its functions and capabilities. Remember to change “lottiefiles” to whatever the actual name of your MCP server is and replace the URL with your own MCP server URL.
