Statonic MCP

Generate project variation files from the currently open project's variation session.

IMPORTANT: Do NOT call get_reference_frames or any other tool before this one. Go straight to create_variations — all the information you need (project structure, segment IDs, available clips) is already in variation-context.json.

The user must have clicked "Variations" in the editor toolbar first, which writes variation-context.json to ~/Library/Application Support/Statonic/. Read that file to get:

• project: the full project JSON with all segment IDs

• clips: the available clip library with id, name, path, category, duration

• variationsFolder: where to write the output files

Each variation is a full copy of the project with:

• textChanges: find/replace rules applied to ALL text segment "text" fields (case-insensitive)

• clipOverrides: swap specific video segments by segmentId — use the segment IDs from project.tracks[].segments[].id and clip paths from the clips array

Writes each variation as [name].json to the variationsFolder. The editor picks them up automatically.

IMPORTANT: After calling create_variations, do NOT call write_statonic_project, render_preview, get_suitable_audio, or any other tool. Just return the summary and stop — the editor handles everything from here.
