Edit video from Claude Code.
raea runs an MCP server on your Mac. Add it to Claude Code with one command, and Claude can open a space, ask the app for an edit, wait for it, scrub to a frame and look at the result.
~/videos
$
The command and the tools are real. The session is an example.
Eight tools, on your own machine.
The server listens on 127.0.0.1:7457, so it answers only on your Mac. Claude drives the same app you would, and raea does the rendering on your GPU. Nothing is uploaded to render.
Any MCP client that speaks streamable HTTP can use it. Turn it off with RAEA_FEED_MCP_PORT=0.

Questions
- Can Claude Code edit video?
- Yes, through raea's MCP server. Claude Code sends the app a request over MCP, the app's own agent writes the edit as code and renders it on your Mac, and Claude can then scrub to any frame and take a screenshot to check the result.
- How do I add raea to Claude Code?
- With the app running, run: claude mcp add --transport http void http://127.0.0.1:7457/mcp. Claude Code then lists the server's eight tools.
- Does anything render in the cloud?
- No. raea renders on your Mac's GPU, and its MCP server only listens on your own machine.
- Is there a video editing MCP server for other clients?
- raea's MCP server speaks MCP over streamable HTTP, so any client that supports HTTP MCP servers can connect to it the same way.
- Can I use the app now?
- Not yet: the app isn't in the installer. raea, the engine it runs on, is: install it below and your coding agent can write and render pieces today, with nothing to sign up for.
