Video Editor

The server implements an interface to upload, generate, and edit videos with:

- Custom vj:// URI scheme for accessing individual videos and projects
- Each project resource has a name, description
- Search results are returned with metadata about what is in the video, and when, allowing for edit generation directly

- add-video

- Add a Video File for analysis from a URL. Returns an vj:// URI to reference the Video file

- Creates a Video Jungle project to contain generative scripts, analyzed videos, and images for video edit generation

- Creates an OpenTimelineIO project and downloads it to your machine to open in a Davinci Resolve Studio instance (Resolve Studiomustalready be running before calling this tool.)

- Generates a rendered video edit from a set of video files

- Generate an edit from a single input video file

- Get assets within a project for video edit generation.

- Returns video matches based upon embeddings and keywords

- Live update a video edit's information. If Video Jungle is open, edit will be updated in real time.

In order to use the tools, you'll need to sign up for Video Jungle and add your API key.

Here's an example prompt to invoke theadd-videotool:

can you download the video at https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RumgYaH5XYw and name it fly traps?

This will download a video from a URL, add it to your library, and analyze it for retrieval later. Analysis is multi-modal, so both audio and visual components can be queried against.

Once you've got a video downloaded and analyzed, you can then do queries on it using thesearch-videostool:

Search results contain relevant metadata for generating a video edit according to details discovered in the initial analysis.

You must set the environment variableLOAD_PHOTOS_DB=1in order to use this tool, as it will make Claude prompt to access your files on your local machine.

Once that's done, you can search through your Photos app for videos that exist on your phone, using Apple's tags.

In my case, when I search for "Skateboard", I get 1903 video files.

can you search my local video files for Skateboard?

Finally, you can use these search results to generate an edit:

can you create an edit of all the times the video says "fly trap"?

(Currently), the video edits tool relies on the context within the current chat.

Finally, you can cut down an edit from a single, existing video:

can you create an edit of all the times this video says the word "fly trap"?

To allow this MCP server to search your Photos app on MacOS:

$ LOAD_PHOTOS_DB=1 uv run video-editor-mcp YOURAPIKEY

npx -y @smithery/cli install video-editor-mcp --client claude

You'll need to adjust yourclaude_desktop_config.jsonmanually:

On MacOS:~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonOn Windows:%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

(Be sure to replaceYOURDIRECTORYandYOURAPIKEYwith the directory this repo is in, and your Video Jungle API key, found in the settings page.)

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run --directory /Users/YOURDIRECTORY/video-editor-mcp video-editor-mcp YOURAPIKEY

Upon launching, the Inspector will display a URL that you can access in your browser to begin debugging.

Additionally, I've added logging toapp.login the project directory. You can add logging to diagnose API calls via a:

logging.info("this is a test log")

A reasonable way to follow along as you're workin on the project is to open a terminal session and do a:
