Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that turns a line-art PNG or JPEG into a prompt-directed, hand-drawn scribe animation MP4, with polling, download, unlock and delete tools.

What you can do
  • Check service limits, terms, retention, pricing and integration URLs
  • Create an asynchronous scribe animation from a base64-encoded line-art image, with optional drawing-order instructions and hand
  • Poll one private animation until it completes or fails
  • Get a short-lived download URL for a watermarked preview or clean video
  • Redeem a single-use unlock code to unlock one clean video
  • Delete an animation session and all of its stored files immediately
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to turn a static line-art illustration into a short hand-drawn animation video without manual timeline editing, and to manage that job through to download or deletion.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint; no account, API key, environment variable or header is declared. The source image must be line art in PNG or JPEG, supplied base64-encoded. Network access to the service is required.
Before you install
Animation IDs, capability tokens and unlock codes are treated as secrets and should not be placed in chat text, logs, filenames or unrelated tools. The free output is watermarked; removing the watermark is an optional paid purchase, and unlock codes are single-use. Deleting an animation removes its stored files immediately. Check current retention, terms and privacy policy with the service before use.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open The Scribble Thing in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/club.boringstuff%2Fthe-scribble-thing/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

The Scribble Thing agent skill

[The Scribble Thing turns one static image into a drawn video with AI agents]

[Install with skills.sh] [License: MIT]

Turn a PNG or JPEG line-art illustration into a hand-drawn scribe animation using The Scribble Thing.

The skill teaches compatible AI agents how to create, monitor, download, unlock, and delete animations through the public MCP server. Drawing-order instructions are optional, and users can choose whether the animation includes a drawing hand.

No account is needed. A watermarked preview is free, and removing the watermark is optional.

See it in action

This animation was generated by The Scribble Thing from one static line-art image, with no manual timeline editing.

Install

Install with the open Agent Skills CLI:

sh
npx skills add Boring-Stuff-Club/the-scribble-thing-skill --skill the-scribble-thing

Then ask your agent something like:

Turn this line-art image into a scribble animation. Draw the title first, reveal the illustration from left to right, and show the drawing hand.

The canonical hosted skill and MCP endpoint are also available directly:

What the skill does

  • Confirms image requirements, retention, and terms before creation.
  • Sends the artwork and optional drawing-order instructions to the MCP server.
  • Monitors asynchronous rendering without holding a request open.
  • Returns private management and short-lived download links.
  • Supports explicit unlock-code redemption and early deletion.

The service provides a free watermarked preview. Removing the watermark is a separate optional purchase.

Privacy and security

Animation IDs, capability tokens, and unlock codes are secrets. The skill tells agents not to place them in ordinary chat text, logs, analytics, filenames, or unrelated tools. Current retention, limits, terms, and pricing should always be queried from the service rather than assumed from this repository.

See the current privacy policy and terms before using the service.
