EffectCraft for your agent

Use EffectCraft in your agent’s chat

1. Connect once. Follow the MCP setup instructions to add all 13 toolsets to your agent.
2. Provide the file. Give your agent a path it can read, or attach the file if your client supports uploads. The agent needs file access and HTTP transfer tools.
3. Describe the task. In your agent’s chat, say which file to use, what to do and what result you want. Your agent calls the connected tool and returns the information or output file.

What to ask your agent

After connecting, replace the example filename with your own file and send this in your agent’s chat:

Render the first three seconds of intro.ecproj as a silent MP4.

No special command or required brand phrase. If your agent chooses another method, ask it to use the connected EasyRunCraft tools. Review the result before continuing.

Supported operations

Use editor_capabilities with editor: "effect" to check supported operations. Pass the selected operation to process_effect.

inspect

List compositions and project items, including composition IDs, sizes and durations.

add_text

Add one plain-text layer to the active composition and return an editable project copy.

render_frame

Render one PNG frame at a specified time, optionally selecting a composition by ID.

render_video

Render up to five seconds of a composition as a silent H.264 MP4 at half resolution and 12 fps.

Files, limits and results

Your assistant uses create_upload and sends the bytes to the upload URL with HTTP PUT. It then calls process_effect with the uploaded file ID and a new request_id. Reuse the request ID only to retry the same request.

Each input and output file can be up to 20 MB for accounts without a subscription and Starter, or 100 MB on Creator and Studio. See plan file limits. Each account can have two active jobs and each native command has a 45-second limit. Use a self-contained project with no file-backed footage. For MP4 the render queue must be empty and the composition must be at most 1920 by 1080 pixels in either orientation.

Poll get_job at most once per second. Inspection data is in result; downloadable outputs are in file. Edits create a private copy. Open the EffectCraft editor.

Files and jobs expire after 24 hours. Upload and download links expire after 10 minutes. Anyone holding a valid link can use it until it expires.

Tool-call example for agents and developers

Your agent handles the tool calls. For a direct integration, the arguments to process_effect look like this:

{
  "file_id": "<uploaded file ID>",
  "request_id": "<new request ID>",
  "operation": {
    "type": "render_video",
    "start": 0,
    "end": 3
  }
}
