Aseprite MCP Tools
A Python MCP server that gives AI assistants full control over Aseprite for creating pixel art and animated sprites.
104 tools across 17 categories — canvas, drawing, layers, animation, palettes, effects, slices, tilemaps, exports, visual-feedback/analysis tools, and a raw Lua escape hatch. The tool set is designed so an LLM has everything it needs to produce good pixel art, not just primitives: shading ramps with hue shifting, ordered dithering, outlines, retro palette presets with quantization, onion-skin renders, and frame diffing for animation work.
Example: a swordsman, drawn and animated by Claude
 |
 |
| Task 1 — "Draw me a pixel art of a swordsman." 32×32 still, exported at 10×. |
Task 2 — "…a sword slash attack sequence, from windup to follow-through." 4-frame animation, exported with export_tag. |
 |
|
The same slash as a spritesheet (export_spritesheet): windup → extension → swing → follow-through. |
|
Both were created end-to-end by Claude Fable 5 through this server's MCP tools — drawing, checking its own work with scaled export_frame previews and render_onion_skin, then exporting. The tasks recreate the benchmark from Draw Me a Swordsman by Lj Miranda, whose findings inspired this server's expanded toolset.
