Orccut: a real timeline video editor for AI agents - journaled edits, FFmpeg/MLT rendering
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http mcpcut 'https://orccut.com/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcpcut": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://orccut.com/mcp"
}
}
}

Orccut
A real video editor for AI agents, served over MCP.
Orccut gives any MCP-capable agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or anything else that speaks the protocol) an actual editing model — not a wrapper around one ffmpeg command. Projects are timeline snapshots with a journaled history of named operations; you and your agent work on the same projects — the agent edits over MCP, you review and tweak in the browser editor at orccut.com.
Connect your agent
- Sign up at orccut.com and create an API token.
- Point your agent at the MCP endpoint.
Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http orccut https://orccut.com/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer <your token>"
Any other MCP client, in its JSON config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"orccut": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://orccut.com/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your token>" }
}
}
}
Then ask the agent for something real: “make a 30-second cut of this video with a title and captions, and export it.”
What the agent gets
44 tools over one consistent model:
- Projects & history — create/list projects, journaled operations
(
editor_get_historyshows every edit ever made), named versions with restore, annotations. - Timeline — multiple video/audio tracks, clips with trim/split/move/ resize, transforms with keyframes, transitions, canvas fit, color adjustments.
- Text & graphics — text overlays, image/video overlays, covers.
- Audio — music beds, per-clip audio, volume envelopes.
- Media in — media by http(s) URL, downloaded and checked server-side before it touches a timeline.
- Understanding — media analysis (scenes, audio peaks, keyframes), auto-captions, voiceover.
- Out — validation, preview frames, full exports with presets.
Every edit validates its arguments, returns a fresh project snapshot with a bumped version, and lands in the journal. Nothing edits in place.
Tool documentation
The skills/ directory documents the tool surface as
ready-made instructions you can hand to any agent:
video-editing walks through the full workflow
— project → media → timeline edits → captions → validate → export — and the
conventions that make agent edits reliable.
