Kdenlive MCP
Provides a headless video editing workflow using portable JSON projects and Kdenlive for review, enabling automated video rendering and project management.
README
Kdenlive MCP
Foundation for a headless video editor that keeps a portable JSON project as its source of truth, compiles disposable MLT XML, and uses Kdenlive for review.
Milestone 0 covers feasibility only: architecture/licensing decisions, repository
tooling, runtime discovery, and a deterministic 30-second rendering spike. The
complete implementation sequence is in docs/roadmap.md, and
docs/milestone-0.md tracks current foundation status.
Milestone 1 implementation status and project-format rules are documented in
docs/milestone-1.md and
docs/project-schema.md.
Timeline query and editing-engine status is tracked in
docs/milestone-2.md.
Rendering, durable jobs, previews, profiles, and output verification are tracked
in docs/milestone-3.md.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 22 or newer and pnpm 9
- Python 3.12 for the future analysis worker
- FFmpeg/ffprobe and MLT 7.38 (
melt) onPATHfor runtime/spike checks

On Windows, the standard C:\Program Files\Kdenlive installation is discovered
automatically. A portable installation can be selected with KDENLIVE_ROOT or
MLT_ROOT; exact overrides are MELT_PATH, FFMPEG_PATH, and FFPROBE_PATH.
Scope
Milestones 0-3 are implemented: the canonical project/editing model and rendering stack are available as workspace packages. The public MCP transport and tool surface begins in Milestone 4.
