Whiteboard Animation
Turn any picture into a hand-drawn whiteboard animation video, from your AI assistant.
What it does
Whiteboard Animation is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.
No capability identified yet from its description.
Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence). None of this is a test of the tool.

9 tools offered to AI assistants
quote· What drawing one picture costs, in credits, and the quote_version to pass when creating it.status· Call first. The signed-in workspace: its plan, credits left, drawings queued and running, and how many may queue.create_upload· Start uploading a picture: answers an upload_url to PUT the bytes to, with the given headers. Then call create_drawing with the upload_id. Not needed when the host attaches the picture to create_drawing itself.create_drawing· Draw a picture as a whiteboard animation. Spends credits (see quote). Answers at once with the drawing_id; the drawing takes a few minutes, follow it with get_drawing.get_drawing· A drawing by id: its status and progress, its preview page, and once done the export options render_link accepts for it.list_drawings· The latest drawings in the library, newest first.render_link· One link that renders up to 20 of your drawings as files, each with its own choices (format, resolution, aspect, background, hand…; see get_drawing export_options). Opening it in a browser renders them one after another and saves each filewait_render· A render link’s files: each drawing’s state (pending, rendering, saved, failed) and, once saved, its file name and size in the browser’s downloads. Pass back the states of the last answer: it answers as soon as any of them moves on, or aftewait_drawing· For the drawing card: answers get_drawing as soon as the drawing moves on from the status and progress the card last showed, or after about 50 seconds.
What "online" means: the server answered an MCP connection at the time of the check. It is not a guarantee of security, quality or continuous uptime. How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
Is this your server? Monitoring Pro: a check every 30 minutes and an email within the hour when it stops answering. Launch offer: $39.99 once, for life.
