mcp -lottiefiles

This MCP server exposes access to LottieFiles content via MCP, enabling clients to search for animations, retrieve detailed information for a specific animation, and obtain lists of popular animations. After starting the server, you can connect with any MCP-compliant client and issue the standard MCP requests for search, details, and popular endpoints. The server acts as a bridge between the MCP protocol and LottieFiles data, returning structured results that clients can render or process further in your workflow.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js (LTS version) and npm installed on your machine
• Access to the project repository (clone or download)

Installation steps:

1. Clone or download the repository
2. Install dependencies npm install
3. Start the server npm start

Optional (Smithery installation):

• If you are using Smithery for automated MCP server deployment, you can install via: npx -y smithery install mcp-server-lottiefiles --client claude

Notes:

• If the server requires a LottieFiles API key, obtain one from LottieFiles and set it in the environment variable LOTTIEFILES_API_KEY before starting the server (see additional notes for details).

Notes and tips:

• Ensure you have a valid LottieFiles API key if the server requires it; set it in LOTTIEFILES_API_KEY.
• The default MCP operations include search, get details, and get popular animations. Refer to your MCP client for exact request formats.
• If you encounter rate limits from LottieFiles, consider buffering requests or caching responses in your client or a reverse proxy layer.
• If the server fails to start due to port conflicts, modify the startup script or environment to bind to an available port.
• Check the server logs for any API key or network-related errors and verify network access to LottieFiles endpoints.
