Before you install Fcp MCP Server

AgenticMart scanned Fcp MCP Server on Nov 5, 2026 with automated checks for hidden code, known-malicious packages, leaked secrets and vulnerable dependencies. The result covers one commit under our scan policy, so review what access you give it and check any advisories shown here.

What it can access

  • An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.

Before you install

  1. Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
  2. Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.

Tools Fcp MCP Server exposes (15)

Listed by the server itself during our scan of commit dec1ff2.

  • inspect

    Read a timeline or project without changing it. Use this first to understand what you are working with. Actions: list_projects, analyze_timeline, analyze_pacing, list_clips, list_markers, list_roles, list_keywords, list_effects, list_templates, list_library_clips, list_compound_clips, list_connected

  • diagnose

    Find problems in a timeline: gaps, flash frames, duplicates, dead air, and beat structure. Read-only. Run before editing. Actions: validate_timeline, detect_gaps, detect_duplicates, detect_flash_frames, detect_silence_candidates, detect_media_silence, detect_beats, find_short_cuts, find_long_clips,

  • edit

    Change clips on the timeline: insert, delete, trim, split, reorder, retime, remove silence, and attach audio, B-roll or transitions. Writes a new file. Actions: insert_clip, delete_clips, trim_clip, split_clip, reorder_clips, change_speed, rapid_trim, add_transition, add_audio, add_connected_clip, a

  • mark

    Add or import markers and chapters, including from SRT/VTT subtitles, transcripts, and beat analysis. Actions: add_marker, batch_add_markers, import_srt_markers, import_transcript_markers, import_beat_markers, snap_to_beats.

  • generate

    Build new timeline structure from source clips: rough cuts, montages, A/B roll, templates and compound clips. Actions: auto_rough_cut, generate_ab_roll, generate_montage, apply_template, create_compound_clip, flatten_compound_clip, import_edl_json.

  • transcript

    Transcribe source media locally and edit the timeline by what was SAID rather than by timecode. Also removes filler words. Actions: transcribe_media, edit_by_transcript, remove_filler_words, transcript_pack.

  • deliver

    Get the edit out: export to other NLEs, CSV, EDL and stems, reformat, relink media, or push straight into a running Final Cut Pro. Exports and push refuse a cut with no rendered preview of its current state (pass confirm_unreviewed=true to ship anyway). Actions: export_csv, export_edl, export_fcp7_x

  • preview

    See the edit without opening Final Cut Pro. Render a proxy video of the timeline, a contact sheet of every cut, a single frame, or a filmstrip-plus-waveform check read from the SOURCE MEDIA rather than from the XML. Run preview_check to confirm a fix actually landed. Actions: preview_render, preview

  • watch

    Close the round-trip. Watch the Final Cut Pro export folder, detect the XML the moment it lands, and diff it against the last one seen. Pair with deliver.push_to_fcp for a full loop: push in, edit, Cmd-E, watch_pull. Actions: watch_start, watch_status, watch_stop, watch_pull.

  • index

    The analysis cache under ~/.fcp-mcp/index.db. index_status shows what is cached and how old it is; index_build warms it for every source in a timeline (args: filepath, with_transcript); index_clear drops it. Every other tool works with the index off (FCP_MCP_INDEX=off) — this only makes the second q

  • scenes

    Shot boundaries. detect_scenes reads every source in a timeline and reports cuts in timeline time (args: filepath, clip_name?, backend auto|content|adaptive|ffmpeg, threshold?, min_scene_len=0.5); scenes_to_markers writes a marker at each cut; scenes_split cuts the clips there. PySceneDetect via the

  • organize

    Bulk library logging and the ledger. organize_auto proposes keywords per clip from cached captions and the transcript (apply=true writes them). Select clips with clip_name (glob), keyword and/or role, then organize_keywords (keywords, mode add|remove|replace), organize_rate (rating favorite|rejected

  • find

    Natural-language shot search. find_shots (filepath, query, limit=10, visual=false, clip_name?) ranks moments by what was said (transcript), what was logged (names, keywords, notes, markers, audio events) and, when a local vision model is installed, what the frames look like — the first line of every

  • view

    See the cut inline. view_timeline(filepath, thumbnails=true, words=true) returns the timeline — lanes, clips, markers, gaps, cached transcript words and filmstrip thumbnails — as an exact rational-time JSON payload that hosts with MCP Apps render as an interactive timeline (clip details, range selec

  • gen

    Generative fill, quote-then-confirm. gen_quote(provider, seconds, prompt, model?) prices a job from a dated table (fal: kling-2.5, wan-2.5; gemini: veo-3.1; runway/luma are honest stubs) and returns a quote id. gen_fill_gap(filepath, prompt, gap_index|at), gen_broll(filepath, clip_name, prompt, seco
