Details

WeftCut is a free, open-source desktop video editor designed to be controlled by AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The tool enables agents to perform editing tasks such as trimming clips, adding captions, and building animations from code, while allowing users to review changes, undo actions, or take manual control of the timeline.

Key Features

  • Agent Integration: Connects with existing MCP-compatible agents to drive the editing process.
  • Motifs: A feature allowing animations to be written in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which appear as editable layers on the timeline. Agents can generate overlays, and users can adjust exposed controls within the editor.
  • Live Monitoring: Changes appear in real-time with an activity log and checkpoints for restoration.

Availability

WeftCut is currently in active development and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
