DriftEdit for AI agents

Give Claude, Cursor or any MCP client access to the full editor. Agents can cut clips to a song, apply techniques, inspect frames and export, all on your computer.

Open editor

Connect an agent

  1. 1

    Download the server

    Download driftedit-mcp.mjs from Help, Connect an AI agent in the studio. Node 20 or later and Chrome must be installed on the same computer.

  2. 2

    Add it to your agent

    Run the command below in Claude Code, or add an entry in the MCP settings of Claude Desktop, Cursor or another client.

  3. 3

    Ask for a video

    Provide file paths and describe the edit, including the song, style, length and export location.

MCP settings

Replace the example path with the location of the downloaded file.

Claude Code

claude mcp add driftedit -- node ~/Downloads/driftedit-mcp.mjs

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other MCP clients

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "driftedit": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/full/path/to/driftedit-mcp.mjs"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add --show after the file path to watch the agent work in Chrome. Use --out followed by a folder path to set the export location.

Example request

Make a 30-second vertical edit from the videos in ~/Videos/trip, cut to ~/Music/song.mp3 in the Hype style. Check a few frames, then export to ~/Desktop.

33 tools, each explained

The describe tool explains how to make an edit and lists the available styles, techniques, effects, transitions, text, captions and Library assets.

Auto mode settings

  • Style, length and aspect ratio, starting at the drop or the beginning
  • Intensity, exclusions and sound effects
  • Source ranges for each video and looping edits

The whole timeline

  • Place, move, trim, split, speed up and reverse clips
  • Keyframes, effects, transitions, blend modes and masks
  • Titles, captions from speech, sound and fades

Song analysis

Read the tempo, kicks, snares, sections and drop. Correct kick timings by hand and use them in the next take.

Editing techniques

Apply kick impacts, punch-ins, velocity edits, rewinds, freezes, wipes and loops. Track motion, animate depth, blur backgrounds or use the talking-head editing tools.

Check frames before export

The agent can inspect individual frames or a contact sheet before making changes.

Export to a path

Save MP4, WAV or PNG files to a specified path. Free video exports are up to 1080p with a faint watermark.

On your computer

The server opens the studio in a separate Chrome instance on your computer. It reads files from disk and saves exports there; nothing is sent to DriftEdit. Frames and timeline data requested by the agent are sent to that agent, under its own terms.

Open editor

Find the server file and setup instructions in Help, Connect an AI agent.
