after-effects-mcp vs LayerX-Network
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.; LayerX-Network: LayerX Network is a deterministic execution and accounting network for autonomous agents. Every state-changing operation enters as a signed activity, the append-only log is the authority, and periodic checkpoints settle to Paxeer.
