FableCut MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• fablecut_analyze_reference

  Analyze a reference video into an EDIT BLUEPRINT so a similar edit can be rebuilt with different footage over the same music. Returns: shot boundaries (cuts) with per-shot audio energy, music beats + BPM, a loudness curve, the detected drop, and extracts the reference's music track into media/ (registered in the project, ready to place on A1). Remake recipe: copy the reference's width/height/fps t

• fablecut_auto_duck

  Duck music under dialogue: finds where the voice tracks have sound (RMS above `threshold`, short gaps bridged so the music doesn't pump between words) and writes `duck` keyframes (dB) on the given music clips — a dip of `amount` dB ramping down `attack` s before speech and back up `release` s after. The duck multiplies the clip's volume, so its own level, volume keyframes and fades are untouched,

• fablecut_beats

  The music's beat on the timeline, and cuts that land on it. Listens to a music clip (an audio clip, or a video's sound) and finds its tempo (BPM), a steady beat grid phased to the hits, and the drop — all in timeline seconds, through the clip's in point and speed. Then, in one revision: markers:true puts a cyan marker on every beat; snap:true rolls each cut on the video tracks (the targeted ones,

• fablecut_captions

  Captions from what is said: makes caption clips on the timeline from the clips' transcripts (transcribing first when there is none, like fablecut_transcribe), each one a text clip with `wordTimes` so its words follow the speech. Captions are cut at pauses and sentences, one or two lines as wide as the canvas allows. Styles: subtitle (plain, on a dark bar), karaoke (words light up as they are said)

• fablecut_denoise

  Reduce background noise (hiss, hum, room tone) on audio clips: ffmpeg's FFT denoiser renders a cleaned FLAC of each clip's whole source file into media/, and the clip — with its linked stems — switches to it (the picture keeps its own file, so links and timing stay intact). The same as the inspector's Noise control. amount 'off' switches back to the original. Re-running reuses a file already rende

• fablecut_docs

  Return the FableCut project schema documentation: clips, tracks, props, keyframe animation, transitions, and editing recipes. Read this before editing. TOKEN TIP: pass `section` to fetch only the '## …' section(s) you need (substring match, e.g. "props", "Recipes", "Remake") instead of the whole manual.

• fablecut_encode_profiles

  List what fablecut_export can make. DELIVERY PRESETS (structured settings, the Export dialog's Preset list): youtube, youtube-shorts, instagram-reels, tiktok, x, linkedin, master (project size), broadcast (ProRes 422 HQ), web (720p), archive (lossless FFV1), custom — plus presets the user saved — each a spec of resolution, fps, codec (h264, hevc, av1, vp9, prores, dnxhr, mpeg2 XDCAM, ffv1), rate c

• fablecut_export

  Render the timeline to a video file in exports/ — the editor's own Fast export (same compositor, audio mix and encoding profile as the Export button), so the file matches what the user sees. It runs in a browser: an open editor tab takes the job (the user sees the progress bar), or with no tab open the server starts headless Chrome / Edge (set FABLECUT_CHROME to pick one) and closes it afterwards.

• fablecut_frame

  LOOK at the footage — returns an actual image, not just numbers. REQUIRES A VISION-CAPABLE MODEL: if you cannot read images, pass `text:true` instead (or skip this tool and use fablecut_analyze_reference). Three modes. (1) One frame of a source clip: pass `path` (an absolute file path, or a '/media/…' src — read where it lies, never copied) and `t` in seconds. (2) A contact sheet: pass `frames` (2

• fablecut_get_project

  Get the FableCut project (the timeline document). TOKEN TIP: pass compact:true for a one-line-per-clip summary (ids, tracks, timings, non-default props) — usually all you need to plan an edit; fetch the full JSON only when you must inspect exact keyframes.

• fablecut_highlights

  The best moments of long footage, cut into a short edit: a 30 s reel from a 20-minute vlog, a match, a talk, a day of B-roll. Looks at the video clips on the open timeline (or clipIds, or whole files with mediaIds) — frames twice a second and the sound — and scores every half second: movement, sound louder than around it (a cheer, a laugh, a hit), a clear picture. Cuts already in the footage are f

• fablecut_import_media

  Import a media file into FableCut's media library and register it in the project. Pass a local absolute path (copied, including .svg) or an https:// URL (downloaded into ./media/; video/audio/image only — remote SVG is refused). The URL is never kept as the playback src — CORS would break export. Returns the created media entry (use its id in clips).

• fablecut_normalize_audio

  Loudness-normalize clips: measures each clip's source audio (ITU-R BS.1770 integrated LUFS, or sample peak) after its channel routing and sets `props.gain` (clip gain, dB) so it lands on the target — the same measurement as the editor's Normalize button. Linked stems (a video's per-channel audio clips) are measured together and get one shared gain, so a stereo pair stays balanced; passing a video

• fablecut_projects

  Several projects in one FableCut: the projects dashboard. ./project.json (what every other tool reads and edits) is always the OPEN project; the others are stored beside it and share media/, exports/ and the library, so a duplicate or a template copies no footage. Actions: list (default; archived:'only'|'all' to see archived ones) · open {id} — switches the editor to that project (the open one is

• fablecut_proxy

  Proxies: light H.264 copies (540p by default, 720p or 1080p; never larger than the source) of heavy footage — 4K, HEVC, ProRes, long phone clips — that the editor plays while the user edits, so playback and scrubbing stay smooth. Export, fablecut_frame, fablecut_scopes and every measurement always read the original, so a proxy never changes the result. Without create or delete it reports each vide

• fablecut_reframe

  Reframe for another shape, following the subject: a 16:9 edit made 9:16 (Reels, Shorts, TikTok), 1:1 or 4:5. With aspect, a copy of the open sequence is made on that canvas (the project's shorter side kept, e.g. 1920×1080 → 1080×1920) and opened, so the original cut stays as it was; without aspect, the open sequence is reframed on its own canvas. Each full-frame shot (a video or still that isn't m

• fablecut_scopes

  Measure the graded picture at one moment — what the editor's scopes show, as numbers: luma levels (min, 1st percentile, median, mean, 99th percentile, max on 0–1), the % of pixels crushed to black / clipped to white, mean R/G/B, average saturation, and the colour cast of the midtones (hue name + strength; neutral below 0.01), plus the clips on screen with their grades, masks, track mattes and blen

• fablecut_set_project

  Replace the FableCut project JSON. Pass the COMPLETE document (read with fablecut_get_project, modify, send back whole). Revision is auto-bumped; the open editor UI hot-reloads instantly so the user sees the edit live. CONFLICT-SAFE: if the project changed on disk since your last fablecut_get_project (e.g. the user tweaked something in the UI), the call errors instead of overwriting — re-read, re-

• fablecut_silence

  Find the silences in speech and, with cut:true, cut them out. Listens to the given clips (a video's linked audio stems, after channel routing, gain and volume) and reports every stretch where none of them is above `threshold` for at least `minSilence` seconds, keeping `padding` seconds of quiet beside each phrase so words aren't clipped. Gaps between clips are left alone. With cut:true each silenc

• fablecut_status

  FableCut video editor: ensure the editor web server is running (auto-starts it), and get the editor URL, project summary and media library. Call this first in a session.

• fablecut_track

  Follow something in a video clip frame by frame (motion tracking, in the editor: an open tab, else headless Chrome / Edge) and store it on the clip as a named track (props.tracks). Then, in the same call, make a mask follow it (apply:{mask}) or pin another clip to it (apply:{clip} — a title, sticker, blur box… its x / y, and optionally scale / rotation, get keyframes that ride on the track, keepin

• fablecut_transcribe

  What is said, word by word, with times — and text-based editing. Transcribes the clips' speech with Whisper in the editor (an open tab, else headless Chrome / Edge; the speech model downloads once, the audio never leaves the machine), keeps one transcript per file (analysis/transcripts/), and answers with the timeline's words as timed lines (timeline seconds), so you can read an interview, pick th

• fablecut_versions

  A project's version history: saved copies you can go back to, never destructive. Actions: list (default) · save {name?, note?, final?} — keep the project as it is now (do this before big or risky edits, and when the user is happy with a cut) · diff {version, to?} — what changed from that version to now (or to another version): clips added / removed / changed, length, media, settings · restore {ver
