Use VfxSmith from your AI agent

Search, generate and refine pixel VFX, then install the files into your game. Start with one prompt. Your agent handles setup; you approve access in the browser.

Connect your agent

Choose your tool, copy the prompt and paste it into a new conversation.

Paste into Claude Code

Set up VfxSmith in Claude Code. Run: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user vfxsmith https://vfxsmith.com/mcp
Open /mcp and select vfxsmith → Authenticate to trigger browser OAuth; guide me through that UI step if you cannot open it. Let me choose permissions, credit ceiling and expiry in the browser. Download https://vfxsmith.com/skills/vfxsmith/files.json and every listed file from that same directory into ~/.claude/skills/vfxsmith/, preserving relative paths. Do not overwrite an existing customized skill without checking it. Read the installed skill and follow its brief-first workflow. Reload the client if needed, then call VfxSmith account_usage and report the connection, credit ceiling and expiry. Do not generate anything during setup. Never ask me to paste tokens.

Raw commands & configuration

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user vfxsmith https://vfxsmith.com/mcp
# In Claude Code, open /mcp, select vfxsmith and Authenticate.

Skill: SKILL.md · Complete file list
Install folder: ~/.claude/skills/vfxsmith/

Use your agent’s file tools or HTTP downloader to save each listed file. No VfxSmith repository or additional package is required.

Paste into Codex

Set up VfxSmith in Codex. Run: codex mcp add vfxsmith --url https://vfxsmith.com/mcp
If add already completes browser OAuth, do not authenticate twice. Otherwise run: codex mcp login vfxsmith --scopes assets:read,generation:write,offline_access --oauth-client-registration dcr
Let me choose permissions, credit ceiling and expiry in the browser. Download https://vfxsmith.com/skills/vfxsmith/files.json and every listed file from that same directory into ~/.codex/skills/vfxsmith/, preserving relative paths. Do not overwrite an existing customized skill without checking it. Check skill discovery: this installation supports ~/.codex/skills; current Codex documentation also specifies ~/.agents/skills. If necessary, link the installed folder into ~/.agents/skills/vfxsmith (or install it there instead, without duplicate discovery). Read the installed skill and follow its brief-first workflow. Reload the client if needed, then call VfxSmith account_usage and report the connection, credit ceiling and expiry. Do not generate anything during setup. Never ask me to paste tokens.

Raw commands & configuration

For Codex versions using the current skill discovery paths, use ~/.agents/skills/vfxsmith/ or link to the installed folder. Restart if the skill does not appear.

Paste into Cursor

Set up VfxSmith in Cursor. Merge {"mcpServers":{"vfxsmith":{"url":"https://vfxsmith.com/mcp"}}} into ~/.cursor/mcp.json, preserving all other configuration. Enable vfxsmith in Settings → Tools & MCP and trigger browser OAuth; guide me through Connect / Authenticate if needed. Let me choose permissions, credit ceiling and expiry in the browser. Download https://vfxsmith.com/skills/vfxsmith/files.json and every listed file from that same directory into ~/.cursor/skills/vfxsmith/, preserving relative paths. Do not overwrite an existing customized skill without checking it. If this Cursor version cannot discover skills, read SKILL.md and add a project rule referencing its local path. Read the installed skill and follow its brief-first workflow. Reload the client if needed, then call VfxSmith account_usage and report the connection, credit ceiling and expiry. Do not generate anything during setup. Never ask me to paste tokens.

Raw commands & configuration

# Merge into ~/.cursor/mcp.json; preserve other servers.

Paste into Other MCP client

Connect this client to the VfxSmith Streamable HTTP MCP server at https://vfxsmith.com/mcp, using OAuth discovery and Dynamic Client Registration (DCR). Trigger browser authorization and let me choose permissions, credit ceiling and expiry. Download https://vfxsmith.com/skills/vfxsmith/files.json and every listed file from that same directory into this client's documented skills folder under vfxsmith/, preserving relative paths. Do not overwrite an existing customized skill without checking it. If the client has no skill support, save the files locally and add a persistent instruction to read SKILL.md for VfxSmith work; also fetch the vfx_brief MCP prompt. If the client lacks OAuth/DCR support, explain that limitation instead of requesting tokens. Read the installed skill and follow its brief-first workflow. Reload the client if needed, then call VfxSmith account_usage and report the connection, credit ceiling and expiry. Do not generate anything during setup. Never ask me to paste tokens.

Raw commands & configuration

Transport: Streamable HTTP
URL: https://vfxsmith.com/mcp
Authentication: OAuth 2.1 with discovery + DCR
Scopes: assets:read generation:write offline_access

After consent, your agent installs the official skill and checks your account. If new tools are not visible yet, restart the client and ask it to call account_usage.

A clear brief before credits

Your agent inspects the game’s sprites, palette and engine, then states a short brief. It asks only for what it cannot infer.

Subject and action. Genre and camera. Sprite size and pixel scale. Palette. Duration and loop. Impact timing. Editable parts. Transparent background. Target engine.

Reuse → create → inspect → install

Search your assets and the free 245-effect library first. Refine an owned effect when it is close. For a new run, use an explicit credit limit and track the same job until it finishes.

Inspect the preview, then export a Godot scene or PNG sprite sheet with animation JSON directly into your project.

You control access and spending

Sign in and approve in your browser. Choose read access, optional generation, a total credit ceiling and an expiry of 1–30 days. Never paste tokens into a prompt.

Manage or revoke connections

Pay only for delivered runs

Standard · default: 5 credits
Enhanced: 15 credits
Ultra: 40 credits

Failed runs without a delivered version are refunded. Revoking access stops new requests; a run already started may finish.
