Video editor for desktop, mobile and web with templates, auto-captions and AI tools such as long-video-to-shorts. No official editing API or MCP server, so AI tools write the script and captions and you edit in CapCut.
CapCut lists Free (US$0), Pro (US$19.99/month, 1,200 monthly AI credits), Ultra (US$79/month) and Teams (US$12.49/month per seat), and says displayed prices are for reference; sign in for final pricing. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗

How CapCut connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.
| Platform | MCP / connector | API (agent-written code) | Browser | Upload / export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (incl. Claude Code) | No documented route | No documented route | Confirmed Claude Code with the Claude in Chrome extension (Chrome, Edge and other Chromium browsers) Claude (incl. Claude Code) browser docs ↗ | Confirmed Export from CapCut, then works on the files in your project; chat accepts attachments Claude (incl. Claude Code) docs ↗ |
| OpenAI Codex | No documented route | No documented route | Confirmed Only in the ChatGPT desktop app; not in the Codex CLI or IDE extension OpenAI Codex browser docs ↗ | Confirmed Export from CapCut, then works on local repositories OpenAI Codex docs ↗ |
| Google Antigravity | No documented route | No documented route | Confirmed Browser subagent via /browser, documented as an Antigravity App feature; the IDE has separate browser docs Google Antigravity browser docs ↗ | Confirmed Export from CapCut, then works on local projects and worktrees Google Antigravity docs ↗ |
Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.
| Level | Status | Detail / source |
|---|---|---|
| Native connector / MCP | No | No official MCP server or editing API found (2026-10-16). Community MCP projects write draft files and are not affiliated with CapCut. |
| API / CLI | No | No public editing API documented (2026-10-17); capcut.com/openapi.yaml did not load (HTTP 502) |
| Browser-only | Yes | No confirmed MCP server or API yet |
| Bulk upload / import | No | No bulk media import documented; batch editing covers auto-generated captions |
Recorded Oct 17, 2026. Setup and plan limits vary; check the vendor's docs. How levels are assigned.
No confirmed MCP server yet.
No long-form review yet. Verdict is based on research, not hands-on testing.
Edits video and podcasts by editing the transcript. Its MCP server and API let an AI assistant import media, edit projects and export transcripts; imports use media minutes and AI edits use AI credits.
Turns long videos into short clips with captions and reframing. OpusClip publishes an API and a hosted MCP server, so an AI assistant can submit a video, review clips and schedule posts; MCP posting commits directly, so keep a human check.
