after-effects-mcp vs mcp-remote
after-effects-mcp: ae-mcp lets MCP clients such as Codex, Cursor and Claude Code drive Adobe After Effects through a Python MCP server and a local CEP panel. The chain runs from the MCP client through HTTP on 127.0.0.1 to the CEP panel and AE ExtendScript.; mcp-remote: mcp-remote connects an MCP client that only supports local stdio servers to a remote MCP server, with auth support. The project calls itself a working proof of concept and experimental, and can be removed once your client supports remote authorized servers.
