Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “list_effects”: List video effect templates (dance, sports, meme scenes, etc.). Use the returned `effect` id with animate_photo. `photos` is how many photos.”
“Use “animate_photo”: Turn photo(s) into a short video. With `effect` (from list_effects) the effect decides the motion; without it the photo is animated followin.”
“Use “create_video”: Generate a short video (5 seconds, 720p, with sound) from a text description only, no photo needed. Costs credits. Returns a task_id; poll g.”
“Use “edit_video”: Edit an existing video clip (MP4, up to 15 seconds, 50 MB) following instructions: put the person from a photo into the clip, change outfit,.”
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how AI Photo Animator holds up.
gate scanned 10 tools on Nov 1, 2026 for prompt injection and risky tool definitions — nothing to flag.
Operated by AI Photo Animator (aiphotoanimator.ai) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
If AI Photo Animator adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Choose AI Photo Animator in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
AI Photo Animator's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.

https://aiphotoanimator.ai/api/mcpYes — AI Photo Animator operates its own remote MCP server at aiphotoanimator.ai. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick AI Photo Animator in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, AI Photo Animator's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
No. AI Photo Animator runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect AI Photo Animator in minutes. No credit card required.
Every server below works through the same gateway URL — connect once, add tools anytime.
