create_from_template
Creates a new .exode artboard from a pre-defined template (e.g. 'base').
Tool Overview & Agent Execution
create_from_template is an official Exode MCP tool that allows AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf to creates a new .exode artboard from a pre-defined template (e.g. 'base').. It directly inspects and modifies local .exode JSON files with precision without manual UI tweaking.
Example Prompt for Claude Code & Cursor
Give this instruction to your AI coding agent to execute this tool on your active .exode workspace:
prompt
"Use create_from_template to configure the motion properties in my active .exode workspace"Tool Parameters & Input Schema
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | string | Optional | The name parameter for create_from_template. |
| path | string | Yes | The path parameter for create_from_template. |
| template | string | Optional | The template parameter for create_from_template. |

add_constraint
Adds a physical or transformation constraint between objects.
add_layer
Adds a new state machine layer.
animate_properties
RECOMMENDED PRIMARY MOTION TOOL: Animates object transform properties (x, y, scale_x, scale_y, rotation, opacity, skew_x) using keyframes. Extremely memory-efficient, GPU-accelerated 60fps playback with zero filter overhead. Combine with state variables and interaction rules for responsive interfaces.
apply_vibe
Applies a visual style preset (glassmorphism, minimalist, cyberpunk) to an object.
Build & Review Motion Visually
Let Claude or Cursor run create_from_template, then fine-tune timing, spring physics, and export ready-to-ship code in ExodeUI.
