Cut Pro MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that turns long videos into viral clips with AI. It exposes the full CutPro API as tools, so an LLM can run the whole flow: analyze a video, clip the best moments, render the final MP4, and publish to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. Its 23 documented tools cover render, balance, video, submission.

People who work with render, balance and video and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to mcp.cut.pro

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @cutpro/mcp - the @cutpro scope differs from the repo owner (getcutpro); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.getcutpro is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
