# FableCut (MCP server)

> FableCut is an MCP server that adds web browsing tools to AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor. Zero-dependency browser video editor AI agents drive via a JSON timeline over MCP; ffmpeg export. It has 747 GitHub stars, is released under the MIT license and runs locally with npx -y fablecut.

A browser video editor that AI agents can drive. FableCut is a Premiere-style non-linear video editor that runs entirely in your browser — and exposes its whole timeline as one JSON document. Edit it by hand, from the UI, or let an AI agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or anything that speaks MCP/REST) cut your video for you while you watch the timeline update live.
