Klo MCP Overview

The klo-mcp MCP server connects AI clients to klo, a native macOS video editor with semantic tools for media, timelines, captions, audio, color, motion, generation, and export. It uses a local HTTP endpoint or stdio process, while footage remains on the Mac and the agent receives compact results such as transcripts, timecodes, and frames. Reach for it when an agent needs to assemble, inspect, revise, or export video on a real editable timeline rather than manipulate files through ffmpeg.
