Your AI knows how to connect.
Just ask it.

Copy this message into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI app that supports MCP. It will tell you exactly where Frapea goes, or add it for you.

To your AI

Hey I'd like you to use Frapea, a video editor. It's a remote MCP server at https://app.frapea.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no API key). How do I add it here? If you can add it yourself, go ahead.

Your AI walks you through adding it. Then open Frapea, click Connect your AI and tell it the 8-character code. That's the whole setup.

Step-by-step for each app. They all point at the same address.

Claude.ai

Browser · Anthropic

No terminal and nothing to install on either side — two browser tabs, one holding the footage and one holding the agent.

Set up Claude.ai →

Claude Code

Terminal · Anthropic

The edit happens beside the repository it belongs to, so a release video is built from the same context as the release.

Set up Claude Code →

Claude Desktop

Desktop app · Anthropic

Nothing to install and no terminal — the closest thing to talking to an editor.

Set up Claude Desktop →

Cursor

Editor · Anysphere

The animation is built from the same context as the code it is going to sit next to — the type, the colours, the product it shows.

Set up Cursor →

VS Code

Editor · Microsoft

Agent mode already has the repository; this gives it the timeline as well.

Set up VS Code →

Windsurf

Editor · Codeium

Cascade runs long, multi-step work without being nudged — which is exactly the shape of an edit.

Set up Windsurf →

Codex CLI

Terminal · OpenAI

A terminal agent that will happily sit through a long render.

Set up Codex CLI →

Gemini CLI

Terminal · Google

A generous free tier driving a tool that does not charge either.

Set up Gemini CLI →

Warp

Terminal · Warp

The render becomes a step in a shell workflow rather than the end of one.

Set up Warp →

Then, the same for everyone

Pairing is one code, spoken once.

If the editor is already open

Carry the code to your agent

  1. 1Click Connect your AI in the editor header. It shows an eight-character code.
  2. 2Paste the whole line it gives you into your agent — the sentence, not just the code. It is worded so the agent knows which tool to call and what to pass it.
  3. 3Good for ten minutes, and once. The code stops working the moment it is spent.

If it is not

Let the agent open it for you

  1. 1Say connect me to Frapea. With no code, connect mints an invitation and hands back a link.
  2. 2Open the link and accept it. Until you do, the agent's calls wait for your tab.
  3. 3Every tool runs in that tab, on your footage — the agent knows to wait for it rather than to nag.

Then say what you want. The cut happens in the tab in front of you, clip by clip, and every step the agent takes is one undo away.
