HatCut ChatCut — public talking-head editor + MCP

What this is
- A free, no-login editor at https://hatcut.com/chatcut
- Cut silences, keep main segments, add captions, set a thumbnail, export
- In-editor chat (Workers AI) can only keep/cut lines, set captions, and export
- Captioned VPS export from chat requires an explicit confirm
- Chat threads use a shared reference stored in D1 and browser localStorage
- The transcript is the timeline. There are no tracks, items, or motion graphics.

Data model
- session (cookie or MCP sessionToken) → project → jobs → segments (kept=1|0)
- 3 transcribe credits + 3 captioned VPS renders per session
- Silence-only browser (WASM) export is free
- Projects expire after 3 days. Source ≤ 5 min. Export ≤ 120s.

MCP
- Streamable HTTP JSON-RPC: https://api.hatcut.com/mcp
- Tools: create_project, import_media, read_project, transcribe, set_segments, set_captions, set_thumbnail, submit_export, track_export, get_editor_url
- create_project returns sessionToken. Send it as sessionToken on later tools (the Worker also accepts X-Tool-Session).
