Model Context Protocol · MCP server for video editing

MCP video editor: 53 tools for AI-driven editing

Scene Flow Shop is built on the Model Context Protocol. Creating a scenario, splitting a clip, adding a crossfade, starting a render: each is an MCP tool, and the built-in assistant edits only through them.

Why MCP matters for video editing

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI models call tools in a structured, typed way. Instead of a chatbot describing what you should do, an MCP-native editor lets the model do it — through the same validated operations a person would use.

In Scene Flow Shop the user interface, the REST API and the MCP server are thin adapters over one command layer. There is no AI-only backdoor: every mutation is version-checked, attributed to the user or the assistant, and undoable.

Today these tools power the built-in assistant. The server speaks standard MCP over stdio. Hosted access for third-party MCP clients is not offered yet.

What an MCP-native editor gives you

  • Safe autonomy

    Reads happen instantly; edits are proposed as exact tool calls you can approve, reject or auto-apply.

  • Version-checked edits

    Each edit names the project version it expects, so a stale change is rejected instead of overwriting newer work.

  • Batching

    timeline.batch groups many edits into one call, one approval and one undo step.

  • Full-lifecycle coverage

    Idea, scenario, scenes, prompts, timeline, transitions, rendering and undo: the whole workflow is reachable by tools.

  • One command layer

    UI, REST and MCP share the same operations, so behaviour never diverges between them.

  • Auditable history

    Every operation records who made it: a user, the assistant or an external agent.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard for connecting AI models to tools and data. A model discovers the available tools, calls them with structured arguments and receives structured results.

How many MCP tools does Scene Flow Shop have?

53, across projects, tracks, scenes, timeline editing, assets, scenarios, prompts, rendering, undo and credits.

Can I use these tools from my own MCP client?

The tool surface is a standard MCP server, designed for that. At the moment it powers the built-in assistant; hosted access with per-user credentials for external clients isn't offered yet.

Are MCP edits safe?

Yes. Edits are validated, version-checked and recorded, the assistant asks for approval by default, and the latest operation can be undone.

Which model uses the tools?

The built-in assistant uses Claude models from Anthropic.
