Motion

Motion is a creative analytics platform for performance marketing and creative teams, headquartered in Toronto and founded in 2021 by Reza Khadjavi, Alexander Sloan, and David Berglas. Motion connects a brand's Meta, TikTok, YouTube, and LinkedIn ad accounts — plus Google Analytics 4 and Northbeam attribution — into a single command center where marketers and agencies identify which creative elements drive performance, run comparative and launch analysis, auto-tag ads with AI across multiple dimensions, and research competitor ads via its Inspo tool. The company also offers Runneth by Motion, an AI layer for marketing. Motion serves 2,100+ teams analyzing over $14B in annual ad spend and is backed by Threshold Ventures, Inovia Capital, Headline, Abstract Ventures, and Sugar Capital. Motion publishes no REST API, OpenAPI, GraphQL endpoint or webhook surface; its one machine-callable product is the Motion MCP server at https://projects.motionapp.com/mcp, a read-only OAuth 2.0 Model Context Protocol server exposing 13 documented tools over creative performance, video transcripts, AI tags, demographics, saved reports and the Inspo competitor ad library to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any MCP client.

Motion publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Creative Analytics, Advertising, Marketing Analytics, and Performance Marketing.

Motion’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, engineering blog, support, pricing, signup flow, and 21 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/motion: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Submit an artifact on GitHub — free → Manage your own listing — the Influence plan, $499/mo →

    Every tier's CTA is "Book a demo" — there is no self-serve checkout. A 14-day trial is available, including by signing
    up mid-way through the Motion MCP OAuth flow. MCP access is included from the Starter tier upward.

  description: Motion's official hosted remote MCP server. Read-only, OAuth 2.0 gated, and documented with 13 tools across
    six categories — auth context, creative performance (ranked creatives, AI creative summaries, video transcripts, demographic
    breakdowns), workspace brand and competitor context, the Inspo competitor ad library, saved reports, and the workspace
    AI Tag taxonomy. Distributed through the Anthropic Claude connector directory and a one-click Cursor install, and connectable
    from any MCP client with the server URL alone thanks to RFC 7591 dynamic client registration. MCP data coverage is currently
    Meta only, narrower than Motion's product integrations.
