Works with

Install

ChatCut's plugin (MCP) works with ChatCut Desktop on your computer (recommended; your media stays local) or with hosted ChatCut Web. Find your agent below and follow its row.

Desktop setup

In Codex, the ChatGPT desktop app, Claude Code or another local agent, paste Read ChatCut.io/desktop to install ChatCut. The agent installs ChatCut Desktop, opens sign-in and connects itself to Desktop's local chatcut_desktop MCP server.

To install Desktop yourself, run the official installer on the macOS or Windows computer. It needs a graphical desktop but not Node.js or npm, so a Linux or remote agent can't install Desktop there:

# macOS 13 or newer (Apple Silicon or Intel)

curl -fsSL https://chatcut.io/install.sh | sh

# Windows 10 or newer (x64)

irm https://chatcut.io/install.ps1 | iex

Google Antigravity can also install the Desktop package directly. Then ask “Install ChatCut on this computer”. It installs and connects ChatCut Desktop only; see the Antigravity Desktop guide.

Web setup

Web projects and their media aren't migrated to Desktop, and connecting Desktop to the same agent may replace its hosted connection.

Claude Code (claude mcp login needs Claude Code 2.1.210 or newer; full guide, agent-executable copy):

claude plugin marketplace add https://github.com/ChatCut-Inc/agent-plugin.git#main

claude plugin install chatcut@chatcut-inc claude mcp login plugin:chatcut:chatcut

Codex CLI (in the Codex desktop app, use its bundled Codex CLI; full guide):

codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/ChatCut-Inc/agent-plugin.git --ref main

codex plugin marketplace list # note the marketplace name codex plugin add chatcut@ codex mcp login chatcut

Gemini CLI:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/ChatCut-Inc/agent-plugin

Cursor: add the server to ~/.cursor/mcp.json and sign in when Cursor asks:

{

"mcpServers": { "chatcut": { "url": "https://api.chatcut.io/api/external-mcp/mcp" } } }

Grok Bot and Antigravity Web: see the Grok Bot Web guide and the Antigravity Web guide. Grok Bot signs in from its Plugins screen; in Antigravity, select Customizations → Authenticate next to the ChatCut MCP server.

Other MCP clients that support remote servers with OAuth can connect to https://api.chatcut.io/api/external-mcp/mcp and sign in with a ChatCut account.

Everything ChatCut can make

ChatCut edits your own footage and generates new media, and the result is an editable timeline. Under the hood the plugins import media, change a project timeline, create motion graphics, generate assets, transcribe audio, add captions, export videos, and verify that edits are visible in the editor. Items marked *(Desktop)* need ChatCut Desktop. Generation uses ChatCut credits, and the agent asks before
