Connect an MCP-capable coding agent to OpenChatCut and edit local video projects. Use when the user asks to install, connect, or set up OpenChatCut; inspect or edit an OpenChatCut project; work with its timeline, transcript, captions, media, generation, motion graphics, audio, color, or export tools; or recover from an OpenChatCut MCP error.

OpenChatCut

OpenChatCut is a local-first, agent-native video editor. This skill is the
single external entry point; specialized editing guidance remains inside the
running editor and is loaded on demand with load_skill.

Route the task

  • Install, connect, or diagnose the MCP server: read
    references/getting-started.md.
  • Inspect or modify a project: read references/editing-workflow.md.
  • Recover from a failed tool call, stale session, or missing editor:
    read references/known-errors.md.

Essentials

  1. Start OpenChatCut before connecting. The default MCP endpoint is
    http://localhost:5199/api/external-mcp/mcp.
  2. Call openchatcut_status, then list_projects. Select a project only when
    the user names it or the current context identifies it.
  3. Call load_skill before specialized work. It is read-only and requires
    neither begin_edit_session nor editSessionId; available names and support
    files come from the live MCP tool description.
    With progressive exposure enabled, this call reveals the skill's referenced
    tools and emits tools/list_changed; refresh the list before continuing.
  4. Before project reads or edits, call begin_edit_session. Keep its
    editSessionId and pass it to every draft-safe editor tool.
  5. If begin_edit_session reports an active session, call list_edit_sessions.
    An orphaned session may be resumed or discarded with recover_edit_session
    using an action listed in recoveryActions; an online owner must finish or
    discard its own session.
  6. Use approvalMode: "manual" unless the user explicitly asks for unattended
    application. In manual mode, the user approves the complete proposal in
    OpenChatCut. In auto mode, review_edit_session applies the complete draft.
  7. Finish with review_edit_session. Report success only after
    get_edit_session returns applied.
