Write the script and captions, edit in CapCut
Marketing content & social · checked 2026-10-17
Claude writes a short-form script with hook, beats and on-screen captions; you edit in CapCut with templates and auto-captions. CapCut has no official editing API, so editing is hands-on.

Goal: Go from idea to edited short in one sitting. Tools involved: Claude, CapCut. Your part: writes the script, hook options and caption lines. Work step by step, show me each draft or proposed change, and wait for my approval before anything is sent, published, signed, filed or changed in a live system.

What we checked (2026-10-17)
CapCut has no official MCP server and no public editing API. Community MCP projects that write draft files aren’t affiliated with CapCut. So the editing here is hands-on, in the app or the browser editor.
Pricing. CapCut lists a $0 tier, and Pro has a reference price of US$19.99 a month. Sign in to see your final price.
Templates and music. We didn’t review CapCut’s commercial-use terms for this page. Before you use a template, track or effect in a brand or paid post, check its license in CapCut. Some assets are cleared for personal use only.
Set it up
Ask Claude for a 30- to 45-second script: three hook options, three to five beats, and on-screen caption lines of no more than six words each.
Pick a hook and read the script aloud. Cut anything that sounds written rather than said.
Record, then edit in CapCut. Use auto-captions and fix the text against your script.
Watch it once with the sound off and once with it on, then post it yourself.
Keep claims in the script to things you can back up. Captions get screenshotted.
