Video Studio MCP Server

Video Studio MCP Server

by Morkeeth

Grok Bot Video Studio template

Send footage. Describe the result. Direct the next version in conversation. Keep control of the project.

A creator sends a clip to Grok Bot. The bot shows two or three looks, renders the one they pick, and turns each note ("cleaner look, tighter intro, quieter music") into a new version. Each version says what was understood, what changed and what could not change. Old versions stay. Nothing is posted for them.

What is in here

What

demo/

run_demo.py: the first five minutes. Generated sample, three looks, a pick, one revision, an MP4.

tests/

MCP tests: schemas, rejection paths, one full round trip through a stdio client, and one regression test per review finding.

Evidence

Four MCP tools, schemas and one round trip through a stdio MCP client

verified

python3 -m unittest discover -s tests

Codex review findings fixed (caption look and selected section kept across revisions, frozen source, per-project lock, readiness on every tool)

verified, local only

tests/test_review_fixes.py: 6 tests pass now; 5 of them were run on the pre-fix server and failed

First-five-minutes demo produces an MP4 (1080x1920, 30 fps, h264 + aac, 11.5 s) with no keys, no network, no paid call

verified, local only

demo/run_demo.py; ffprobe; motion_qa.py PASS

Demo MP4 certified by fleet-ops render_gate

not proven

The gate needs owner-approved story and look cards, so the test-pattern MP4 counts only as a local test artifact. Real footage still goes through the gate.

Revision reports what it could not change (no music bed, colour grade)

verified, local only

round-trip test asserts it

Video Studio engine reused, not rebuilt

verified

Imported read-only from Morkeeth/hermes-studio; tests and demo pass at commit dc4a981 (main, 12 Nov 2026)

Grok Bot calls these tools

not proven

No connector route tested; see MCP/SETUP.md

TEMPLATE parts match the guide (instructions, memories, skills, routines, plugins)

verified against the guide

xAI template guide, read 12 Nov 00:55

SKILL.md frontmatter, memory line format, routine text format

assumed

The guide defines no schema, size limits or schedule keys

The Grok Bot app accepts these as pasted

not proven

Web panels show no Skills or Routines editor; packaging is in the app

Template published

not done

Share as Template > Publish is the owner's click

Handed-off recipe.json keeps the chosen section (window, max_seconds)

verified, local only

tests/test_rereview_fixes.py

Speech model route: model or STUDIO_WHISPER_MODEL, transcribed once at intake; clear error when there are no words

verified with a mocked transcriber

tests/test_rereview_fixes.py; a real whisper.cpp run was not done here

Real footage, real transcription (whisper.cpp), music bed

not proven

Supported by the Video Studio engine; demo uses a known script

Run

pip install -r requirements.txt            # mcp below 2, pillow; ffmpeg on PATH
git clone https://github.com/Morkeeth/hermes-studio   # the Video Studio engine; tested at commit dc4a981, see MCP/SETUP.md
export STUDIO_PATH=$PWD/hermes-studio
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
python3 demo/run_demo.py /tmp/studio-demo

No uploads, no paid calls, no publishing. Every render is a new folder.
