Install cutcli curl -s https://cutcli.com/cli | bash # 2. Run the simplest example git clone https://github.com/xuliang2024/cutcli-cookbook.git cd cutcli-cookbook/examples/01-hello-caption bash run.sh # 3. Open CapCut / Jianying — the new draft is already in the list ``` Full guide: ## New in cutcli v1.3.9: cloud rendering cutcli can now upload a local draft zip and submit it to the cutcli.com cloud renderer. Use it for smoke tests, preview rendering, or scheduled draft generation without opening CapCut locally. ```bash # Save your cloud API key once cutcli auth set --api-key cut_live_xxx_yyy # Render an existing local draft in the cloud cutcli cloud render --pretty # Inspect queue/results cutcli cloud jobs --status queued --pretty cutcli cloud job --pretty # Run one scheduled render cycle for automation checks cutcli timer render --count 1 --pretty ``` Reference: ## What's inside | Directory | Purpose | |---|---| | [`examples/`](examples/) | One-shot runnable examples (each with `run.sh` + `README.md` + `preview.gif`) | | [`templates/`](templates/) | Reusable JSON snippets (caption / animation / filter presets) | | [`prompts/`](prompts/) | Prompts for Cursor / Claude / ChatGPT to drive cutcli | | [`docs/`](docs/) | VitePress source for docs.cutcli.com | | [`showcase/`](showcase/) | Monthly community showcase | | [`worker/`](worker/) | Cloudflare Worker (R2 reverse proxy with SPA fallback) | ## Featured P0 examples | Example | Demo | Length | |---|---|---| | [01-hello-caption](examples/01-hello-caption/) | One caption + entrance animation | 5 s | | [02-image-slideshow-bgm](examples/02-image-slideshow-bgm/) | 3-image slideshow + transitions + BGM | 9 s | | [03-tiktok-keyword-highlight](examples/03-tiktok-keyword-highlight/) | Multiple captions with keyword highlight | 6 s | | [04-easy-by-audio](examples/04-easy-by-audio/) | `cutcli draft easy` auto-fits to audio | adaptive | | [05-keyframe-zoom-in](examples/05-keyframe-zoom-in/) | Image + keyframe zoom | 5 s | ## FAQ ### What is cutcli? cutcli is a single-binary command-line tool that turns shell commands or JSON into a standard **CapCut / Jianying (剪映) draft folder**. Open CapCut on desktop and the draft is already in your draft list — fully editable, with captions, animations, transitions, audio and keyframes intact. No reverse-engineered file format, no manual JSON patching. Install: `curl -s https://cutcli.com/cli | bash` ### Can cutcli render drafts in the cloud? Yes. Since cutcli v1.3.9, `cutcli cloud render ` can zip, upload, and submit a local draft to the cloud renderer. `cutcli cloud jobs`, `cutcli cloud job`, and `cutcli cloud result` show queue status and final video URLs. `cutcli timer render` can run the same flow on an interval for automation checks. ### What's in this cookbook? - [`examples/`](examples/) — copy-paste runnable cases (one caption, image slideshow, TikTok keyword highlight, audio-driven layout, keyframe zoom) - [`templates/`](templates/) — reusable JSON snippets for captions / animations / filters - [`prompts/`](prompts/) — system prompts for Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT and MCP agents to drive cutcli - [`docs/`](docs/) — VitePress source for [docs.cutcli.com](https://docs.cutcli.com) - [`worker/`](worker/) — Cloudflare Worker (R2 reverse proxy + SPA fallback) that powers the docs site ### How do I use cutcli with Cursor, Claude Code or an MCP agent? cutcli is just a shell command, so any AI coding agent can drive it. We ship ready-made system prompts in [`prompts/`](prompts/) — drop them into your agent and ask things like *"add a 3-second caption that fades in at 1s"* or *"build a 9-second slideshow from these three images with BGM"*. The agent emits `cutcli ...` calls and you get a CapCut draft. See the integration guide at . ### Does cutcli work with both CapCut (international) and Jianying (剪映 Chinese)? Yes. The draft format is the same on both apps; cutcli writes drafts that either client can open directly from its draft folder. ### How is this different from manually editing CapCut JSON? Hand-writing CapCut draft JSON means dealing with microsecond timestamps, undocumented enums, normalized 0–1 coordinates and a half-dozen sibling files that must stay in sync. cutcli handles all of that and exposes a stable CLI surface (`cutcli draft create`, `cutcli captions add`, `cutcli draft easy`, …) that survives CapCut version bumps. Same reason people use FFmpeg instead of writing MP4 boxes by hand. ## Contributing We welcome every kind of contribution: - Add a new example (easiest — copy a folder and edit, no setup required) - Translate or improve docs - Fix a bug - Submit your work to `showcase/` See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md). ## Links - Website: - Docs: - Install: `curl -s https://cutcli.com/cli | bash` - Discussion: [Issues](https://github.com/xuliang2024/cutcli-cookbook/issues) / [Discussions](https://github.com/xuliang2024/cutcli-cookbook/discussions) ## License [MIT](LICENSE) © 2026 m007 and cutcli-cookbook contributors ## Source & license This open-source MCP server is cataloged on AgentStack and links to its original source — we do not rehost the code. - **Author:** [xuliang2024](https://github.com/xuliang2024) - **Source:** [xuliang2024/cutcli-cookbook](https://github.com/xuliang2024/cutcli-cookbook) - **License:** MIT - **Homepage:** https://docs.cutcli.com Install and usage instructions live in the source repository linked above. ## Pricing - **Free** — Free ## Security capabilities Automated source analysis of v0.1.0 — what this tool can access: - **Network access:** yes - **Filesystem access:** no - **Shell / process execution:** no - **Environment & secrets:** no - **Dynamic code execution:** no *"Yes" means the capability is present in the source — more access means more to trust, not that it is unsafe.* ## Versions - **0.1.0** — security scan: flagged — Imported from the upstream source. ## Links - Listing page: https://agentstack.voostack.com/l/mcp-xuliang2024-cutcli-cookbook - Seller: https://agentstack.voostack.com/s/xuliang2024 - Browse the marketplace: https://agentstack.voostack.com/browse --- Listed on AgentStack — the marketplace for AI agent skills and MCP servers.
