Kinocut v1.7.0
Kinocut is the new canonical identity for MCP Video: the same trusted local video execution layer, now with stable kinocut/kino entry points and a compatibility-preserving upgrade path.
Added
- Kinocut is now the canonical Python distribution and import package, with
kinoandkinocutCLI commands alongside the preservedmcp-videocommand. - The
kinocutnpm package provides a thinuvxlauncher for thekinoCLI, and the MCP Registry entry now publishes under the immutableio.github.KyaniteLabs/kinocutidentity. - The canonical
skills/kinocutagent skill teaches both MCP and CLI workflows;skills/mcp-videoremains as a compatibility pointer.
Changed
- The project, repository links, documentation, package metadata, and public discovery surfaces now use the Kinocut name and
kinocut.devhome. - The implementation package moved from
mcp_videotokinocut. New Python integrations should import fromkinocut. - Current documentation, examples, workflows, active plans, and research guidance now use canonical Kinocut names, paths, install commands, and the verified 135-tool/114-command surface. Dated evidence retains its historical identity with explicit snapshot notices.
- The documentation map separates current operating guidance from historical audits, proofs, and handoffs; local Markdown links and canonical naming are enforced by public-surface tests.
Compatibility
mcp-video==1.6.1is a metadata-only upgrade shim that installskinocut==1.7.0and forwards every optional extra. Existingmcp_videoimports,mcp-videocommands,MCP_VIDEO_*environment variables,~/.mcp-videodata,mcp-video://resource URIs, and receipt keys remain supported through at least Kinocut 1.8.x.- Clean installs and in-place upgrades from
mcp-video==1.6.0are exercised as release gates, including Python imports, all three CLI entry points, package metadata, and uninstall behavior.
Fixed
- MCP Registry metadata now uses the registry-supported GitHub mirror URL, while Forgejo remains canonical everywhere else. The publish workflow also supports a registry-only recovery dispatch, so a downstream registry rejection can be repaired without attempting to re-upload an immutable PyPI release.
- The MCP stdio handshake now reports
kinocutas the server name instead of the retired project name. - Contribution, testing, licensing, design-standard, integration, workflow, and agent setup docs now match the current package layout and release behavior; the Remotion removal version is corrected to v1.3.1.
Install or upgrade
pip install --upgrade kinocut
# Existing users can also upgrade without changing integrations:
pip install --upgrade mcp-video
