Kinocut v1.7.0 introduces new CLI commands and an npm package while moving the Python implementation from `mcp_video` to `kinocut`, requiring updated imports.

Why it matters: The breaking change (severity 70) forces all Python integrations to import from `kinocut`; failure causes ImportError, so update code before deployment.

Summary

AI summary

Kinocut becomes the canonical identity for MCP Video with preserved compatibility via a shim.

Full changelog

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 kino and kinocut CLI commands alongside the preserved mcp-video command.
  • The kinocut npm package provides a thin uvx launcher for the kino CLI, and the MCP Registry entry now publishes under the immutable io.github.KyaniteLabs/kinocut identity.
  • The canonical skills/kinocut agent skill teaches both MCP and CLI workflows; skills/mcp-video remains as a compatibility pointer.

Changed

  • The project, repository links, documentation, package metadata, and public discovery surfaces now use the Kinocut name and kinocut.dev home.
  • The implementation package moved from mcp_video to kinocut. New Python integrations should import from kinocut.
  • 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==1.6.1 is a metadata-only upgrade shim that installs kinocut==1.7.0 and forwards every optional extra. Existing mcp_video imports, mcp-video commands, MCP_VIDEO_* environment variables, ~/.mcp-video data, 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==1.6.0 are 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 kinocut as 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

Breaking Changes

  • Package name changed from `mcp_video` to `kinocut`; Python imports must use `kinocut`.
  • CLI entry points renamed: new `kino` and `kinocut` commands replace the deprecated `mcp-video` command.
  • Project, repository links, documentation, and public surfaces now use the Kinocut name and domain `kinocut.dev`.
