Exercise animations inside your AI assistant.
The ExerciseGIF MCP server lets assistants such as Claude look up an exercise and show the right animation while they write a workout plan.
Connect it
Add the server to any MCP client with your API key. The assistant can then call the tools below on its own when an exercise comes up.
The MCP server opens together with the API. Request early access to get a key.
