capcut-mcp (JmsLdrn)
Reads and edits CapCut desktop drafts: add/move/trim/split clips, text, audio and images, set transforms, validate and save, by cloning real templates from an existing draft.
How to set it up
- Install per README.
- Point it at an existing CapCut draft (it needs one to clone templates from).
- Ask Claude for edits, then reopen the draft in CapCut.
This is a plain-English summary of the project's own instructions. Commands and versions change, so always follow the current README at the source link.
Safety notes
- Saves atomically with a backup and validation pass, per README.
General rule: open a duplicate of your project before letting any agent make changes, and read what a script does before approving it.
