Setup steps:

1. Clone the repo and run pip install "pyJianYingDraft>=0.3.0" "mcp>=1.2.0,<2"
2. Add it to your MCP client as python -m jianying_autoedit.server, with PYTHONPATH set to the repo folder
3. Set JY_DRAFT_ROOT to your JianYing drafts folder if it isn't found on its own
4. Ask your assistant to create a draft or build one from a storyboard, then open it in JianYing

Safety notes:

* Writes straight into your JianYing drafts folder, so back it up first
* Can't open drafts saved by encrypted JianYing versions such as 10.8
* README is in Chinese, and it targets JianYing rather than the international CapCut app
