Cavalry panel
One bridge, the full workflow
From an empty scene to the final render.
The useful parts of Cavalry’s scripting API, shaped into tools an agent can use predictably.
02
Shape the motion
Set keyframes, tune Magic Easing, sequence layers, and apply a motion harness built around restrained defaults.

Finish the frame
Control shaders, SkSL, filters, masks, palettes, assets, render queues, and the details that make work feel finished.

Three steps
No extra environment to assemble.
Cavalry, a compatible MCP client, and the bridge. That’s the whole setup.
- 1
Install the bridge
Open the signed macOS app once. It places the UI Script where Cavalry expects it.
- 2
Start it in Cavalry
Open Window → Scripts → Cavalry MCP Bridge. The panel shows version, status, and every request.
- 3
Create from Codex
Describe the scene, inspect the result, and refine it through 78 focused tools—without Cavalry CLI.
Designed for real scenes
Broad control. Narrow permissions.
Every operation is named, validated, logged, and allowlisted. The bridge never evaluates arbitrary JavaScript received over MCP.
