Connect your agent.
Then describe the cut.

Frapea speaks the Model Context Protocol, so the agent you already use gets 59 editing tools and a project to use them on. Setup is one command or one config file, and pairing is an eight-character code you read off the editor.

Endpoint
https://app.frapea.com/mcp
Transport
Streamable HTTP
Auth
An 8-character code from the editor. No API key, no sign-up.

Pick your client

Nine setups, written out one at a time.

They all speak to the same URL. What differs is a file name and a field name — and pasting one client's config into another produces an error that names neither.

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 an agent 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 when you want to watch. The agent can line up the work before a tab exists.
  3. 3Anything that has to SEE the footage waits for that tab — the agent knows to wait 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.
