2. Modify the configuration items as needed

cp config.json.example config.json

Environment Configuration

ffmpeg

This project depends on ffmpeg. You need to ensure that ffmpeg is installed on your system and added to the system's environment variables.

Python Environment

This project requires Python version 3.8.20. Please ensure that the correct version of Python is installed on your system.

Install Dependencies

Install the required dependency packages for the project:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the Server

After completing the configuration and environment setup, execute the following command to start the server:

python main.py

Once the server is started, you can access the related functions through the API interfaces.

Usage Examples

Adding a Video

import requests

response = requests.post("http://localhost:9000/add_video", json={
    "video_url": "http://example.com/video.mp4",
    "start": 0,
    "end": 10,
    "width": 1080,
    "height": 1920
})

print(response.json())

Adding Text

import requests

response = requests.post("http://localhost:9000/add_text", json={
    "text": "Hello, World!",
    "start": 0,
    "end": 3,
    "font": "Source Han Sans",
    "font_color": "#FF0000",
    "font_size": 30.0
})

print(response.json())

Saving a Draft

import requests

response = requests.post("http://localhost:9000/save_draft", json={
    "draft_id": "123456",
    "draft_folder": "your capcut draft folder"
})

print(response.json())

Copying the Draft to CapCut Draft Path

Calling save_draft will generate a folder starting with dfd_ in the current directory of the server. Copy this folder to the CapCut draft directory, and you will be able to see the generated draft.

Configure MCP

Configure MCP in Cursor. In the Cursor settings, add an MCP server with the address http://localhost:9000/mcp, and then you can use MCP in Cursor.

In the Claude configuration, add the following content:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "capcut-mcp": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "http://localhost:9000/mcp"
        }
    }
}
