CapCut MCP

Communityby Community (fancyboi999)freeverified Sep 25, 2026

Archived: a CapCut draft-builder whose repo is now read-only — use vectcut instead.

What it does

Python server exposing CapCut draft creation over HTTP/MCP: add video, audio, images, text, subtitles, effects, and stickers, then save as a draft folder that opens in CapCut for finishing. Lets agents pre-assemble social edits that humans polish in CapCut.

Connect

Local install: Not stdio and not packaged: git clone https://github.com/fancyboi999/capcut-mcp, install ffmpeg, `pip install -r requirements.txt` on Python 3.8.20, copy config.json.example to config.json, then `python main.py` — it serves streamable HTTP MCP at http://localhost:9000/mcp, which you add to your client as an http-transport server.

Auth: none

Field notes

Use `vectcut` instead. Checked 25 Sep 2026: fancyboi999/capcut-mcp is archived (read-only) on GitHub, last pushed Aug 21 2025, 95 stars, no license file. Its README is headed 'CapCutAPI' and exposes the same create_draft/add_video/save_draft surface as sun-guannan's CapCutAPI, since renamed VectCutAPI — which is Apache-2.0, 2,000+ stars, pushed Sep 2026, and ships its own stdio MCP server. Kept listed so old configs resolve to an explanation. If you still run this one: it is a local HTTP service on port 9000, pinned to end-of-life Python 3.8.20, and generated draft folders must be copied into CapCut's drafts directory by hand.
