TDQS
Scored across 25 tools
Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose, targeting specific media types, editing actions, or project management. No overlapping or ambiguous tools.
All tool names follow a consistent verb_noun snake_case pattern, such as add_video, delete_clip, list_projects. The pattern is uniformly applied across all tools.
With 25 tools, the server covers a broad range of video editing operations (project management, media import, editing, text, audio) without being overwhelming. This is well-scoped for a CapCut MCP.
The tool set covers core workflows: project lifecycle, media addition, basic editing (trim, split, speed, volume), and text manipulation. Missing advanced features like effects, transitions, or export, but the core surface is mostly complete.
