GSAP MCP integration
Give your WordPress animations one managed GSAP setup.
EMCP Pro bundles GSAP core and optional plugins locally, then exposes their configuration through MCP. Inspect what is available, select plugins, and control where WordPress loads the scripts. Your page code supplies the motion; the GSAP module supplies the libraries.

One shared WordPress animation setup
| Configuration layer | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| GSAP core · 3.15.0 | Bundled local runtime |
| ScrollTrigger | Select from plugin catalog |
| Frontend / editor contexts | Choose where scripts load |
| Your page code | Targets, timeline & motion |
A practical place to start
Make the library setup explicit before writing motion.
- 01
Inspect the current setup
Read the GSAP module status and bundled plugin catalog. Check whether the page or theme already loads another GSAP copy, and identify the handles available to your implementation.
- 02
Select what the page needs
Use set-plugin to enable one addition, such as ScrollTrigger, while preserving the other selections. Choose the loading contexts required by the page and its editor preview.
- 03
Verify configuration and behavior
Read the saved status back. Test the separately authored animation on the actual frontend, including mobile layout and reduced-motion behavior. Library loading alone cannot verify an animation.
Built for GSAP
Choose the animation tools your page needs
A page using ScrollTrigger needs a different setup from one using only basic tweens. Ask your assistant to inspect the plugin catalog and enable the specific addition your page needs. The single-plugin operation preserves other selections. This is a useful starting point for GSAP on WordPress because library availability becomes explicit before anyone writes animation code.
Separate loading from the animation itself
Frontend, WordPress admin, block editor, and Elementor editor loading are separate choices. An editor preview may need a different context from the public page. Choose the contexts needed by your implementation and inspect the configuration after saving. Enabling a library does not target an element, create a timeline, or automatically respect reduced-motion preferences; the authored animation must handle those requirements.
A shared runtime for the whole site
Animation code can live in a theme, a plugin, or a page-specific implementation. When each adds its own library copy, it becomes harder to know which version and plugins a page is using. EMCP’s module offers a local, registered runtime that those implementations can reference through WordPress dependencies.
Use the returned catalog as the source for plugin names and handles. An Elementor page may need a public frontend setup and an editor-preview setup; a theme enhancement may only need the frontend. Choose those contexts deliberately, then inspect the actual page where the code runs.
The downloadable agent skill can guide an animation workflow, while the GSAP integration reference documents the module itself. Keep animation authoring, configuration, and visual testing as explicit parts of the brief so a successful settings update is not mistaken for a finished effect.

Sources & comparison methodology
We compare specific tasks, including EMCP’s limits. Vendor documentation describes advertised support; it does not prove identical behavior, reliability, or performance. Broad API access is distinguished from a documented integration workflow. No scores or tool counts determine a winner.
Get connected
Put GSAP in your AI’s toolkit.
- 1
Enable the GSAP module
Install EMCP Pro 3.16 or later and enable GSAP Integration in Modules. The bundled runtime is GSAP 3.15.0 with 24 optional plugins.
- 2
Review the initial selections
The module starts disabled. When first enabled, all 24 plugins are selected and frontend loading is on. Review that selection and the separate admin, block-editor, and Elementor-editor contexts.
- 3
Connect configuration to page code
Use the returned WordPress script handles in your implementation. Configuration writes require manage_options and an enabled write tool; the authored code still defines the targets, timing, and motion.
Then connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor to use the GSAP tools enabled on your site. Compare Free and Pro access.
A few useful details
Before you connect.
Questions about GSAP, supported operations, and the workflow on your site.
Does enabling the module animate my website?
No. It registers and loads the selected libraries. Animation code must target your page elements and define the motion.
Can I enable only ScrollTrigger without resetting my other choices?
Use the dedicated single-plugin operation. Replacing a plugins array is a different action and replaces that selection.
Is this the same as a GSAP documentation MCP server?
No. This WordPress integration controls bundled runtime configuration on your site. A documentation server may help an assistant learn GSAP, but that does not configure WordPress script loading.
Can I use the scripts from a theme or Elementor page?
Yes. Themes and plugins can use the registered WordPress script handles. For Elementor, choose the relevant loading contexts and author code against the actual page elements; the module does not create Elementor animations automatically.
