kinocut v1.15.2 is live — 201 MCP tools, agent-first discovery (llms.txt)

[simongonzalezdc]

kinocut replaces the Descript→CapCut→scheduler chain for turning one video into a week of clips — one local, MCP-native pipeline: your agent plans the shorts, kinocut renders and captions them, every output lands on disk with a verifiable receipt.

v1.15.2 is live on PyPI (pip install kinocut), with the 1.15.3 integrator-train fixes merged to master.

What makes it different:

• Local FFmpeg, no API keys, free forever — nothing uploads to someone else's cloud
• 201 MCP tools / 173 CLI commands on the development tip, every command guarded (works or fails with a clear domain error — never a silent wrong render)
• Deterministic-first: the equalizer bench shows tiny-model + our deterministic layer matching frontier-alone on the kinocut suite (frontier as reference row only)
• Agent-first discovery: llms.txt + llms-full.txt at kinocut.dev for machine readers

Who it's for: workflows that publish daily — solo daily publishers, short-form agencies, and agent pipelines that treat repurposing as a standing step.
