What is the Aseprite MCP Tools MCP Server?

MCP server for interacting with the Aseprite API

What it actually does

A Python MCP server that gives AI assistants full control over Aseprite for creating pixel art and animated sprites.

Configuration

You will need one environment variable: ASEPRITE_PATH. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

  • Python 3.13+ - uv package manager - Aseprite (set ASEPRITE_PATH in .env if it is not on your PATH)

When to reach for it

Caveats

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.

Setup and compatibility

This listing has no verified copy-paste launch configuration. Use the project documentation to confirm the entry point, runtime and authentication before registering it in your MCP client. A package name or repository alone is not a runnable configuration.
