## Preview
**VectCut** is a **toA (toAgent)** video editing tool. It provides a rich set of cloud-based editing APIs and Skills, including features such as adding subtitles, illustrations, picture-in-picture (PiP), AI voiceovers, filters, and more.
You can integrate our editing tools into any Agent-based environment, whether it’s a manually orchestrated workflow platform (such as **Coze, Dify, or N8N**) or an autonomous planning platform (such as **OpenClaw, Claude Code, or Trae**). This enables you to meet your needs for automated and bulk video production.
We have open-sourced our interface code on GitHub, making it easy for various AI models to train on and learn our interfaces. Instead of fine-tuning models yourself, you can let the AI actively learn our API (feel free to give us a star to help AI index it even faster! 🤩).
Enjoy It! 😀😀😀

### Advantages
1. **API-Powered Editing:** Access all powerfull editing features, including multi-track editing and keyframe animation, through a powerful API.
2. **Real-Time Cloud Preview:** Instantly preview your edits on a webpage without downloads, dramatically improving your workflow.
3. **Flexible Local Editing:** Export projects as drafts to import into CapCut or Jianying for further refinement.
4. **Automated Cloud Generation:** Use the API to render and generate final videos directly in the cloud.

### 1\. Client Configuration
Create or update the `mcp_config.json` configuration file:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"capcut-api": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["mcp_server.py"],
"cwd": "/path/to/VectCutAPI",
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "/path/to/VectCutAPI",
"DEBUG": "0"
}
}
}
}
```
### 2\. Connection Test
```bash
# Test MCP connection
python test_mcp_client.py
# Expected output
✅ MCP server started successfully
✅ Got 11 available tools
✅ Draft creation test passed
```
## Usage Examples
### 1\. API Example
Add video material
```python
import requests
# Add background video
response = requests.post("http://localhost:9001/add_video", json={
"video_url": "https://example.com/background.mp4",
"start": 0,
"end": 10
"volume": 0.8,
"transition": "fade_in"
})
print(f"Video addition result: {response.json()}")
```
Create stylized text
```python
import requests
# Add title text
response = requests.post("http://localhost:9001/add_text", json={
"text": "Welcome to VectCutAPI",
"start": 0,
"end": 5,
"font": "Source Han Sans",read
"font_color": "#FFD700",
"font_size": 48,
"shadow_enabled": True,
"background_color": "#000000"
})
print(f"Text addition result: {response.json()}")
```
More examples can be found in the `example.py` file.
### 2\. MCP Protocol Example
Complete workflow
```python
# 1. Create a new project
draft = mcp_client.call_tool("create_draft", {
"width": 1080,
"height": 1920
})
draft_id = draft["result"]["draft_id"]
# 2. Add background video
mcp_client.call_tool("add_video", {
"video_url": "https://example.com/bg.mp4",
"draft_id": draft_id,
"start": 0,
"end": 10,
"volume": 0.6
})
# 3. Add title text
mcp_client.call_tool("add_text", {
"text": "AI-Driven Video Production",
"draft_id": draft_id,
"start": 1,
"end": 6,
"font_size": 56,
"shadow_enabled": True,
"background_color": "#1E1E1E"
})
# 4. Add keyframe animation
mcp_client.call_tool("add_video_keyframe", {
"draft_id": draft_id,
"track_name": "main",
"property_types": ["scale_x", "scale_y", "alpha"],
"times": [0, 2, 4],
"values": ["1.0", "1.2", "0.8"]
})
# 5. Save the project
result = mcp_client.call_tool("save_draft", {
"draft_id": draft_id
})
print(f"Project saved: {result['result']['draft_url']}")
```
Advanced text effects
```python
# Multi-style colored text
mcp_client.call_tool("add_text", {
"text": "Colored text effect demonstration",
"draft_id": draft_id,
"start": 2,
"end": 8,
"font_size": 42,
"shadow_enabled": True,
"shadow_color": "#FFFFFF",
"background_alpha": 0.8,
"background_round_radius": 20,
"text_styles": [
{"start": 0, "end": 2, "font_color": "#FF6B6B"},
{"start": 2, "end": 4, "font_color": "#4ECDC4"},
{"start": 4, "end": 6, "font_color": "#45B7D1"}
]
})
```
### 3\. Downloading Drafts
Calling `save_draft` will generate a folder starting with `dfd_` in the current directory of `capcut_server.py`. Copy this to the CapCut/Jianying drafts directory to see the generated draft in the application.
Draft output is selected by `draft_profile` in `config.json`:
- `capcut_legacy`: existing CapCut template.
- `jianying_legacy`: existing Jianying template.
- `jianying_pro_10`: Jianying Pro 10.x Windows-style folder layout using `draft_content.json`.
## Pattern
You can find a lot of pattern in the `pattern` directory.
