MCP Video Overview
mcp-video, now distributed as Kinocut, gives AI agents local tools for editing and inspecting video through FFmpeg. It exposes a compact default tool set, with additional editing, effects, audio, AI, image, quality-control, planning, and platform operations available through profiles or dynamic discovery. Edits are validated before execution, normally write to new files, and return structured results that agents can inspect. Reach for it when an agent needs to trim, caption, resize, package, review, or quality-check real media without uploading files or publishing exports.
Primary Use Cases for MCP Video:
- Trim interviews into captioned vertical clips
- Prepare podcast footage for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok
- Run quality gates before releasing a video
- Build resumable multi-step editing workflows
