  Motion is a creative analytics platform for performance marketing and creative teams, headquartered
  in Toronto and founded in 2021 by Reza Khadjavi, Alexander Sloan, and David Berglas. Motion connects a
  brand's Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn ad accounts — plus Google Analytics 4 and Northbeam
  attribution — into a single command center where marketers and agencies identify which creative
  elements drive performance, run comparative and launch analysis, auto-tag ads with AI across multiple
  dimensions, and research competitor ads via its Inspo tool. The company also offers Runneth by Motion,
  an AI layer for marketing. Motion serves 2,100+ teams analyzing over $14B in annual ad spend and is
  backed by Threshold Ventures, Inovia Capital, Headline, Abstract Ventures, and Sugar Capital. Motion
  publishes no REST API, OpenAPI, GraphQL endpoint or webhook surface; its one machine-callable product
  is the Motion MCP server at https://projects.motionapp.com/mcp, a read-only OAuth 2.0 Model Context
  Protocol server exposing 13 documented tools over creative performance, video transcripts, AI tags,
  demographics, saved reports and the Inspo competitor ad library to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any
  MCP client.

    Two of four tiers carry a published list price (Starter $750/mo, Pro $1,050/mo); Growth and
    Motion AI Studio are contact-sales. Every tier's CTA is "Book a demo" — there is no self-serve
    checkout. A 14-day trial is available, including by signing up mid-way through the Motion MCP
    OAuth flow. MCP access is included from the Starter tier upward.

  description: >-
    Motion's official hosted remote MCP server. Read-only, OAuth 2.0 gated, and documented with 13
    tools across six categories — auth context, creative performance (ranked creatives, AI creative
    summaries, video transcripts, demographic breakdowns), workspace brand and competitor context,
    the Inspo competitor ad library, saved reports, and the workspace AI Tag taxonomy. Distributed
    through the Anthropic Claude connector directory and a one-click Cursor install, and connectable
    from any MCP client with the server URL alone thanks to RFC 7591 dynamic client registration.
    MCP data coverage is currently Meta only, narrower than Motion's product integrations.
