PiCut is a local-first browser video editor with timeline editing, captions, 4K export, a CLI, and an MCP server for AI-agent control.

The free tier promises real MP4 export with no account, no watermark, and no uploads, while the same editor can be driven through 21 typed, validated, atomic, undoable operations. It is a notably concrete answer to the idea of an AI agent editing media: PiCut supplies the hand, while the agent supplies the brain.
