Dev built an MCP server giving LLMs real video editing tools instead of generate-and-pray
ClickpopAI · reddit · 2026-09-30
A developer building an AI video studio shares the MCP server underneath it: instead of the usual generate-and-pray loop, the model gets actual editing tools — cutting clips, adding effects, reworking generated video — driven by plain-language instructions.
- Tested with Claude (Opus and newer models); the interaction shifts from slot machine to directing an editor
- Author argues a tool-based edit loop beats pure generation for control in AI video workflows
- No links shared; he's soliciting discussion from others building video tooling on MCP
