The editor is free for basic use, while generative AI features require a subscription, and it supports connection with Claude, Codex, and Cursor via MCP.", "body_md": "Palmier Pro is an open source video editor for Mac. You and your agent can generate and edit videos together inside the timeline.\n\nWe built Palmier Pro from scratch with Swift. The north star is Premiere Pro, with our take on integrating AI into the workflow.\n\nGenerate videos and images with SOTA models like Seedance, Kling, Nano Banana Pro inside the timeline editor.\n\nConnects your Claude/Codex/Cursor via MCP, or use the in-app agent to work on the same project together.\n\nWhen the app is open, it exposes an MCP server at `http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp`\n\nvia HTTP. To connect:\n\n**Claude Code**\n\n```\nclaude mcp add --transport http palmier-pro http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp\n```\n\n**Codex**\n\n```\ncodex mcp add palmier-pro --url http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp\n```\n\n**Cursor**\n\nThe easiest way is go inside the app `Help`\n\n-> `MCP Instructions`\n\n-> `Install in Cursor`\n\n, or install manually by adding this to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`\n\n:\n\n```\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"palmier-pro\": {\n      \"type\": \"http\",\n      \"url\": \"http://127.0.0.1:19789/mcp\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n**Claude Desktop**\n\nWe bundle a [mcpb](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/mcpb) with the app that allows a one click install Desktop Extension on Claude Desktop. Go to `Help`\n\n-> `MCP Instructions`\n\n-> `Install in Claude Desktop`\n\n**Is Palmier Pro fully open source?**\n\nThe video editor (without the generative AI features) is fully open source. The MCP server and the agent chat are also open source. The only thing that is closed source is the generative AI processing.\n\n**Is it free?**\n\nThe editor is free. You can download it with no login required, and use it as a video editor like CapCut or Adobe Premiere. You can also use the MCP server for free, and start experimenting using Claude Code/Desktop or Cursor to interact with your timeline editor.\n\nGenerative AI features require login and subscription.\n\n**What platforms does it support?**\n\nmacOS 26 (Tahoe) on Apple Silicon only.\n\nSee [FAQ.md](/palmier-io/palmier-pro/blob/main/FAQ.md) for more.\n\nSee [CONTRIBUTING.md](/palmier-io/palmier-pro/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md)\n\n**Discord:** Join the community on.[Discord](https://discord.com/invite/SMVW6pKYmg)**Twitter / X:** Followfor updates and announcements.[@Palmier_io](https://x.com/Palmier_io)**Instagram:** Follow[@palmier.io](https://www.instagram.com/palmier.io)**Feedback & Support:** Create a[Github Issue](https://github.com/palmier-io/palmier-pro/issues)or email us at[founders@palmier.io](mailto:founders@palmier.io)\n\nCopyright (C) 2026 Palmier, Inc.\n\nPalmier Pro is open source under [GPLv3](/palmier-io/palmier-pro/blob/main/LICENSE).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/palmier-pro-macos-video-editor-built-for-ai", "canonical_source": "https://github.com/palmier-io/palmier-pro", "published_at": "2026-06-21 03:38:44+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-21 04:07:23.027187+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "generative-ai", "ai-agents", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Palmier, Inc.", "Palmier Pro", "Adobe Premiere Pro", "Claude", "Codex", "Cursor", "MCP", "Apple Silicon"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/palmier-pro-macos-video-editor-built-for-ai", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/palmier-pro-macos-video-editor-built-for-ai.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/palmier-pro-macos-video-editor-built-for-ai.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/palmier-pro-macos-video-editor-built-for-ai.jsonld"}}
