WeftCut MCP server

WeftCut is a desktop video editor, and this is its built-in helper that lets your AI assistant work the timeline for you. You keep watching the editor while the AI makes cuts, adds captions, or mixes audio, and every change shows up live. It is handy if you edit video and already use an AI assistant like Claude or Codex.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to do something with your video, like trim a clip or add captions. The AI sends that request to WeftCut through this helper. WeftCut then makes the change on your timeline, and you see it happen right away in the editor window. Every action is written down in an Agent panel, so you can see exactly what was done. If you do not like it, you can undo the whole batch with one click.

What you can do with it

• Trim, split and move clips on your timeline
• Add captions by transcribing the audio in a clip
• Mix audio by role, like dialogue, music or sound effects
• Add keyframes and animate effects over time
• Find pauses in a recording and cut them out
• Add titles, transitions and effects to your video
• Export the finished video in common formats

Try asking your AI

• “Trim the first 10 seconds off the clip called intro.mp4”
• “Transcribe this interview clip and add captions”
• “Remove all the long pauses in the voiceover track”
• “Add a lower third title with my name for the first 5 seconds”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, like a short note that a clip was trimmed or a caption track was added. The real result shows up in the WeftCut editor itself, where you can see the new clip length, the captions on the timeline, or the audio changes. The AI also lists what it did in the Agent panel, so you have a record. Nothing is hidden from you.
