  "description": "Palmier Pro is an open-source Swift video editor built around human-agent co-editing. When the app is open, its local HTTP MCP server lets Claude, Codex, Cursor and Claude Desktop inspect the timeline, search media, add and move clips, generate media, caption, color, apply effects and export from the same project the editor is showing.",

  "notes": "GPL-3.0 editor, 13.4k stars, v0.7.3 released Aug 10 2026 — one of the fastest-moving projects in this file. The editor, the MCP server and the agent chat are open source; the generative AI processing is closed and needs login plus a subscription. Hard platform caveat that rules out most crews: macOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple Silicon only — no Windows, no Linux, no Intel Macs. The MCP endpoint is local-only and exists only while the app is running with a project open."
