Use when agents edit local video safely with Kinocut. MCP, Python, and CLI flows use profiles, receipts, and eyes-free guardrails.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Kinocut

Use Kinocut when an agent needs a structured video-editing surface instead of hand-writing FFmpeg commands. Published 1.16.5 serves **205 MCP tools / 177 CLI commands** with `KINOCUT_TOOLS=all`; the default registration is a curated 20-tool core and `KINOCUT_TOOLS=profile:editor` selects the editor profile. `search_tools` discovers hidden tools without reading this manual.

Inspect the installed schemas before using development-tip additions.
Desktop-local execution is available; native Android/iOS clients and a complete
browser processing application remain unimplemented. Recommended service/client
work is described in `docs/PLATFORM_PARITY.md`.

## Default path (do this first)

1. `kino doctor` then `kino --format json info <file>`.
2. For an unfamiliar task, call `search_tools` with the user's task (for example, "remove filler words" or "keep face in frame"), then inspect the returned tool's required inputs. Plan with `video_intent` for supported intents (optional `goal=` compiles a cutfile; a 360/desk/table/`x4` goal also proposes a `360_assembly_plan`). Check that the proposal actually satisfies the request before rendering.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kyanitelabs/kinocut/kinocut@sha256:918a6d9ec5015e28

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.a1458ec, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
