(The project must keep at least one top-level element.) - `describe_project` — Return a compact, human-readable summary of the current project — dimensions, fps, duration, an element breakdown by type, a per-track timeline (paint order low→high), and render-time warnings. Much cheaper to read than get_project's ful… - `get_project` — Return the full current Clipkit source as JSON. Use this to inspect the project, pass it to a render pipeline, or compose follow-up edits. - `get_schema` — Return the authoritative JSON Schema for a Clipkit Source — exact field names, types, and enums, generated from the protocol. Call with no argument for the full Source schema, or with element_type (e.g. "text", "shape", "particles") for … - `open_in_editor` — Validate the current project and create a link that opens it in the Clipkit web editor, where the user can preview and refine it. This shares the PROJECT (nothing is rendered — that's render_video). Use after composing or editing. Return… - `preview_still` — Render a single frame of the current project to a PNG and return it as an image you can look at. This is how you check your work — in chat there is no other way to see what a composition actually looks like. Use it liberally: after compo… - `read_docs` — Return a canonical Clipkit doc as text. topic "card" = the ~8KB compact authoring card — the recommended context for authoring; "pattern-data-viz" / "pattern-cinematic-ui" / "pattern-ui-screencast" = ~4-5KB archetype pattern cards (prove… - `validate_project` — Run the @clipkit/protocol validator against the current project AND surface render-time warnings even when the JSON is valid — things that pass the schema but the runtime will silently drop or clip: emoji / non-ASCII text (the runtime fo… - `add_element` — Append a single element to an existing project — a TWEAK, e.g. dropping in one more caption or shape. By default it is added at the top level; pass parent_id to add it INTO a group (nested). The element is any valid schema element: video… - `create_project` — Create a new, blank Clipkit project with the given dimensions and duration, and return its project_id. Defaults: 1920×1080, 10 seconds, 30 fps, output_format "mp4". Call this first when starting a new video. Pass an existing project_id t… - `create_promo` — Assemble a designed-looking promo/intro/product/data video from the Clipkit pattern library: give an ordered list of SCENES and the words, and it bakes in the camera, glass, lighting, motion blur, timing, and layout, then returns an edit… - `edit_element` — Change fields on the element with the given id by merging in a partial element — only the keys you include change. The id may be any element ANYWHERE in the tree, including one nested inside a group (or its mask). Pass a whole nested val… - `ingest_asset` — Fetch a remote media URL (image/video/audio) and HOST it on Clipkit, returning a stable asset_url to put in an element's url. Use this so the project's media survives — the original link may rot, be private, or block hotlinking. Anonymou… - `load_project` — Import a previously shared project as the current project, by its share id or its editor URL (e.g. https://clipkit.dev/editor?id=…), returning its project_id. Use this to continue working on a project the user opened in the editor or sha… - `set_project` — Replace the entire project with the given source JSON, returning its project_id. This is the PRIMARY way to build: use it to create a composition or to add/change many elements at once. (To tweak a single element in an existing project, … ## Related servers - UnClick (1662 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-malamutemayhem-unclick-mcp-server.md - Delx Mcp A2a (1076 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-mcp-a2a.md - Delx Protocol — Agent Recovery & Continuity (1076 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-protocol.md - Nodebench (824 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-homenshum-nodebench.md - MCP Framework Personal (790 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/inggerman-mcps.md - Delx MCP Server (740 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/io-github-davidmosiah-delx-mcp-server.md - Binance MCP Server (734 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/nirholas-binance-mcp.md - Eda Agent (726 tools) — https://policylayer.com/tools/eda-agent.md ## For agents This record is a snapshot.
