Celados MCP server

Which MCP servers are Celados's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry nameai.whiteboardanimation/whiteboard-animationverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under whiteboardanimation.ai. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

  • Stateanswerschecked 2026-10-30
  • Tools9
  • Server calls itselfwhiteboard-animation
  • Server version0.1.0
  • Protocol version2025-06-18

On 2026-10-30 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 868 ms.

Should an agent connect itNot proven either way yet
  • Its tools do every use case we checked: draw an uploaded illustration as a hand-drawn video clip; export a transparent layer to place over your footage; make whiteboard clips for lessons and science diagrams.
  • Checked on 6 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Once connected

  • For "draw an uploaded illustration as a hand-drawn video clip", the likely first call is status.
  • For "make whiteboard clips for lessons and science diagrams", the likely first call is status.
  • create_upload, create_drawing change data without a sign-in: anyone with the address can call them.
  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 7 of 9 tools: check arguments before calling.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Worth a look

  • Tools that change data, on a server that answers without a sign-in: create_upload, create_drawing

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

  • 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…

  • wait_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…

  • wait_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.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "whiteboard-animation": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.whiteboardanimation.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http whiteboardanimation https://mcp.whiteboardanimation.ai/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://mcp.whiteboardanimation.ai/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
