set_active_view
Switches editor mode metadata (DESIGN, ANIMATE, LOGIC, DASHBOARD).
Tool Overview & Agent Execution
set_active_view is an official Exode MCP tool that allows AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf to switches editor mode metadata (design, animate, logic, dashboard).. 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 set_active_view to configure the motion properties in my active .exode workspace"Tool Parameters & Input Schema
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | Yes | The path parameter for set_active_view. |
| view | string | Yes | The view parameter for set_active_view. |

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 set_active_view, then fine-tune timing, spring physics, and export ready-to-ship code in ExodeUI.
