AI & Model Context Protocol (MCP)

ORAPHIM is the first Non-Linear Editor to deeply integrate the Model Context Protocol (MCP) at the core architecture level.

Rather than relying on closed, proprietary AI tools that quickly become outdated, ORAPHIM's McpConnectionsPanel allows you to connect the editor directly to your preferred AI models (like Claude, GPT-4, or local Llama instances) and grant them secure, scoped access to your timeline data.

The ORAPHIM Copilot

The ORAPHIM Copilot acts as an intelligent assistant living inside your workspace. Powered by the MCP server integration, it can:

  • Read your timeline and metadata to understand the context of your edit.
  • Execute Python and Lua scripts to automate tedious tasks.
  • Build complex Node Graphs in the Compositor workspace based on natural language prompts.
  • Manage color grading presets and match colors across different shots.

Core Integration Points

  1. src/core/mcp/: The low-level C++ networking library that handles the secure JSON-RPC communication between ORAPHIM and external MCP servers.
  2. src/panels/McpConnectionsPanel: The graphical interface where you configure API keys, manage server permissions, and select which model you want to use.
  3. Magic Mask Engine: Alongside MCP, ORAPHIM features a local neural engine specifically for the Magic Mask tool, allowing you to isolate subjects with a single click without sending frames to the cloud.
