On 2026-10-27 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 110 ms.

• Whether its tools do the product's job has not been judged yet.
• Checked on 1 of the 7 days it takes to judge reliability.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

• connect

  Pairs you with the user's Frapea browser tab. TWO WAYS ROUND. (1) If they already have Frapea open: ask them for the pairing code (the Connect MCP button) and call this with it. (2) If they do not, or you are not sure: call this with NO…

• get_projects

  Lists the projects Frapea knows on this machine: id, name, lastOpenedAt, and for a project stored in a folder on disk its `folder` (the directory's name — files you write into its `media/` subfolder join the pool by themselves). Call…

• get_timeline

  Reads a project's timeline structure: timelines (id, name, fps, resolution) with tracks and clips. THE USER CAN COPY A CLIP'S ID from the editor's right-click menu, so a bare UUID in their message names exactly one clip — call this with…

• get_media

  Lists the project's media library: mediaRef (the id clips use), name, kind (video/audio/image), durationSeconds, resolution, and sceneSamples — timestamps (seconds) where the visual indexer detected distinct moments. sceneSamples is a…

• get_transcript

  Returns the word-level speech transcript of one media asset: language and words [{text, startSec, endSec}]. Only assets the user has transcribed have one — NOT_FOUND means ask the user to run Transcribe on the clip in Frapea. Use the…

• create_motion_composition

  Creates a MOTION COMPOSITION — an animated graphic (infographic, title, promo end-card, chart…) written as a React TSX component. Read the 'motion' skill (read_skill {topic:'motion'}) for the exact API surface, available fonts/icons and…

• update_motion_composition

  Updates a motion composition's TSX files and/or manifest (name, duration, schema…). Same compile-and-test gate as create; files given here MERGE over the existing set. Every clip playing the composition re-renders. preview:true returns…

• get_motion_composition

  Returns a motion composition's manifest and full TSX sources.

• list_motion_compositions

  Lists the project's motion compositions: id, mediaRef (for add_clips), name, size, fps, duration and the editable props schema.

• create_timeline

  Creates a new timeline in the project and returns its id. Set fps, width and height for the target format (e.g. 1080×1920 @30 for a vertical short). The new timeline starts with one video and one audio track; spare tracks appear…

• add_clips

  Places media segments on a timeline. Each clip: mediaRef (from get_media, 'timeline:<id>' to NEST another timeline as a clip, 'solid:#rrggbb' , 'motion:<id>' for a MOTION composition (create_motion_composition) for a generated…

• split_clips

  Blades clips at a timeline frame. Splits every listed clip (and its linked partner) into two independent clips at atFrame. Frames are in the target timeline's fps. Use with get_timeline to find clip ids first.

• remove_clips

  Deletes clips (lift — leaves a gap). Linked partners are NOT removed automatically; pass both ids of a pair to delete it whole. To close the gap too, use ripple_delete_ranges instead.

• ripple_delete_ranges

  Extracts [fromFrame, toFrame) on one track and shifts everything after it left to close the gap (sync-locked tracks follow). The go-to tool for tightening a cut or removing a bad take.

• set_clip_properties

  Adjusts a clip. Only the provided fields change. Mix: volume (0–2, 1 = unity), fadeInFrames / fadeOutFrames (gain or opacity ramps at the edges). Look: opacity (0–1), blend (normal | multiply | screen | overlay | darken | lighten |…

• generate_captions

  Generates animated captions from a spoken clip's transcript (the same generator as Frapea's UI): transcript words group into caption text clips over the clip's span, word-timed so the animation follows speech. One undo, and they share a…

• manage_effects

  Edits a clip's effect stack (ordered, per-effect enable). action: 'add' (type; returns the new effect's id) | 'remove' (effectId) | 'move' (effectId + toIndex — the order IS the render order) | 'toggle' (effectId + enabled) | 'set'…

• manage_transitions

  Transitions on a track's cuts OR lone clip edges (a free head/tail takes a single-sided fade from/to nothing; its alignment is forced). action: 'add' (trackId + atFrame = the cut where one clip ends and the next starts, + type; optional…

• manage_tracks

  Track operations on a timeline. action: 'mute' | 'unmute' | 'solo' | 'unsolo' (audio only; any solo silences non-solo tracks) | 'hide' | 'show' | 'rename' (needs name) | 'duck' | 'unduck' (audio only: dip this track under speech detected…

• cut_to_angle

  MULTICAM angle switch. The angles are ordinary video tracks stacked over each other (sync them beforehand — clips of the same take on V1..Vn); this razors the whole angle stack at `atFrame` and keeps only `chosenTrackId` live from there…

• move_clips

  Moves clips to new positions (linked partners follow automatically). Each move: clipId, toStartFrame, optional toTrackId (same-kind track). Overwrite semantics — landing on another clip trims it like a drag-drop.

• set_active_timeline

  Sets which timeline the project opens on (and what the user sees if the editor is open), opening its tab if it was closed. Purely a convenience — every tool here takes an explicit timelineId regardless.

• set_project_settings

  Updates a timeline's fps / width / height (clips keep their timing; content re-fits) and/or renames it. Only provided fields change.

• search_media

  Semantic search over the project's media. Visual scope matches what is IN the picture (describe a shot: 'aerial city at night'); spoken scope matches transcribed speech (exact words, ranked first, with a snippet). Hits: {mediaRef, timeSec…

• remove_words

  Text-based editing: cuts the given transcript words OUT of a clip as ripple deletes (everything after each cut shifts left). wordIndices are positions in get_transcript's words array for the clip's media. Contiguous indices merge into…

• remove_silence

  Cuts silent gaps inside a clip: any pause between transcribed words longer than minGapSec becomes a ripple delete (a small margin is kept so speech never clips). Typical minGapSec: 0.6 tight, 1.0 balanced, 1.5 loose.

• undo

  Reverts the most recent edit THIS agent session made to the project (one step per call; repeat to go further). Cannot revert other tabs' or the user's edits.

• inspect_media

  Looks INSIDE a source asset. Returns ONE contact sheet — every requested moment as a labelled cell in a single grid image — plus a per-cell fingerprint. Pass atSec (max 12 timestamps, seconds); combine with get_media's sceneSamples for an…

• inspect_timeline

  WATCHES the cut. Composites every video layer at each requested frame and returns ONE contact sheet — the frames as labelled cells of a single grid image — plus, per cell, the visibleClipIds that contributed pixels and a fingerprint. Pass…

• get_problems

  What has gone WRONG in the user's editor — renders that failed or stopped, footage that would not decode, chunks that could not be prepared for playback, exports that failed — each with WHERE (the timeline and frames, the source and its…

• get_bug_report

  Prepare a BUG REPORT for the user: it opens in Frapea (Problems → Create bug report) for them to read and save. The report itself is NOT returned to you — it would leave the user's machine before they have seen it. You get a summary: open…

• verify_timeline

  Renders a timeline the way an export does and reports what fails. inspect_timeline shows a few frames through the preview path, which quietly substitutes a nearby picture where a frame cannot be rendered; this renders every motion segment…

• insert_clips

  Ripple-inserts media segments: everything at/after atFrame shifts right to make room (clips under the cut split). Same clip shape as add_clips. Use to splice a shot INTO an existing sequence without overwriting.

• organize_media

  Pool file operations. action: 'rename' renames the real file on disk (needs newName; clips referencing the old name go offline). 'delete' UNLINKS the file from the media pool — the real file on disk is NOT touched; clips using it go…

• read_skill

  Returns Frapea's editing documentation for a topic. With no topic: the editing conventions, how the tools fit together and the current feature surface. MOTION topics: 'motion' is the API surface (imports, fonts, props schema, the…

• await_user_action

  Waits (up to ~45 s per call) for the user to resolve a pending Frapea prompt — e.g. the folder-permission dialog another tool just opened. The dialog waits for the user in the Frapea tab; the tool that opened it returned what they need to…

• open_project

  Navigates the user's Frapea tab to a project so they can WATCH the edit live. Not required for editing — every tool works headlessly; use this for show-your-work moments. This reloads the Frapea tab, so an export or render running there…

• close_project

  Navigates the user's Frapea tab back to the project manager and releases this session's headless runtime for the project. When the tab shows that project it reloads, so an export or render running there stops.

• new_project

  Creates a project. By default it is created in the browser's own storage, which needs no permission and no click: the project id comes back immediately and you can start working. The user can turn it into a real folder on their disk…

• connect_media_folder

  Asks the user to attach a folder of THEIR OWN source footage to the project — opens a dialog in Frapea with a 'Connect folder' button. Only a human can do this (browser security gesture): tell the user IN YOUR REPLY to click it, then call…

• trim_clips

  Adjusts one edge of a clip (linked A/V partners follow). edge: 'start' trims/extends the in-point, 'end' the out-point. deltaFrames > 0 moves the edge right, < 0 left — e.g. edge 'end', delta -12 shortens the clip by 12 frames. Extending…

• get_analysis_status

  How far the project's media analysis has got. Analysis runs BY ITSELF whenever media is connected. Returns percent (0-100) — 100 means nothing is OUTSTANDING, not that everything succeeded: `failed` lists items whose analysis failed…

• request_ai_models

  Asks the user to enable Frapea's on-device AI analyzers (picture search, speech). Opens a dialog in every Frapea tab and returns an actionId — tell the user IN YOUR REPLY to confirm it, then call await_user_action and poll…

• start_visual_indexing

  Indexes the project's pictures for search_media. Usually not needed: indexing is automatic and this only nudges the queue to re-check now. When the user switched automatic indexing off, this asks for every video and image to be indexed…

• start_transcription

  Transcribes one asset even if automatic transcription is switched off. Speech transcripts otherwise appear on their own. Returns the project's analysis status; poll get_analysis_status, then read get_transcript.

• get_job_status

  Status of a background job started by a job-returning tool (generate_voiceover, verify_timeline, measure_loudness): {state: queued|running|done|failed|cancelled, progress: 0-1, detail, ...result fields such as mediaRef when done…

• list_voiceover_models

  The text-to-speech providers Frapea can generate voiceovers with. Returns providers[]: the FREE in-browser models straight from the TTS registry ({id, label, languages, voices: [{id, label, language, gender, grade}], modelAssets, state…

• generate_voiceover

  Generates an AI voiceover from a script — on-device with the free models, or in the cloud with ElevenLabs (the user's own key and credits). The WAV lands in the project's media library as a normal audio asset (with waveform and analysis)…

• search_stock_media

  Searches the Pexels stock library (photos or videos) with the user's connected API key. Returns items with id, dimensions, duration (videos), author, thumbnail url, available video qualities, and a `downloaded` flag telling whether the…

• download_stock_media

  Downloads one Pexels asset into the project's media pool as a virtual file at the Library root (name `pexels-<id>.jpg|.mp4`). Asynchronous: the first call accepts the download and returns its state; CALL AGAIN with the same arguments to…

• search_sounds

  Searches the Freesound library (SFX, ambience, foley) with the user's connected API key. Every item carries what you need to JUDGE the sound without hearing it: the uploader's full description, tags, duration, community rating and…

• download_sound

  Downloads one Freesound sound (its HQ MP3 preview, ~128 kbps — plenty for SFX/ambience) into the project's media pool as a virtual file at the Library root (name `freesound-<id>.mp3`). Asynchronous: the first call accepts the download and…

• add_sfx

  Frapea's BUILT-IN sound-effects pack — synthesized, licence-free, no API key, no download wait. Covers common UI and motion sounds; search_sounds is for what the pack does not (ambience, foley, a specific real-world object). Call with no…

• manage_queue

  Full control of the background work queue. action 'list' returns every queued/running item across all projects (analyses, proxies, beats) plus the visible task rows (downloads, voiceover jobs, failures) with a cancellable flag. action…

• retry_analysis

  Runs ONE analysis of ONE asset again — picture indexing or speech transcription — clearing whatever failure was recorded for it. If the asset already has a finished transcript or index, that result is deleted and rebuilt. Use when…

• set_keyframes

  Animates one clip property. property: opacity | volume | positionX | positionY | scaleX | scaleY | rotationDeg | pitch | yaw | anchorX | anchorY | cropLeft | cropTop | cropRight | cropBottom | cropSoftness. Keyframes are stamped in SOURCE…

• apply_layout

  Arranges clips into a screen layout by writing ordinary transform + crop values (first clipId → first cell). layout: full | side-by-side | top-bottom | pip-top-left | pip-top-right | pip-bottom-left | pip-bottom-right | grid-2x2 |…

• track_faces

  Finds every FACE in a video clip and stores one independent path per person — position, size and head rotation (nod/turn/tilt) per frame. Queued, not immediate: poll list_face_tracks until state is 'ready'. Re-running on the same clip…

• list_face_tracks

  Lists face-tracking runs and the people each one found: faceId, name, frame range, how many frames it was actually visible for, and how many gaps it has. Sample data is deliberately not returned. Use this to poll a queued run and to pick…

• merge_faces

  Joins two or more faces from one run into a single person — for somebody who walked out of the shot and came back. REFUSED when any two of them appear on the same frame, since they cannot then be one person. The earliest face's id and…
