 "page_title": "How to let an MCP agent edit the same timeline you see with Beat Design",
 "summary": "Connect a coding agent over local MCP so it updates Editor timelines, overlays, and captions in your open project.",
 "who": "A developer or editor who already uses Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor and wants the agent to do repetitive timeline work while they review in the browser.",
 "problem": "Repetitive Editor work such as placing a logo overlay or adjusting subtitles for many clips is slow to do by hand in a browser.",
 "outcome": "The agent makes timeline changes through Beat Design's project services, and the changes appear in the open browser workspace for review.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `pnpm install`, then `pnpm db:push`.",
  "Run `pnpm dev:agent` to start the visual workspace and the local HTTP MCP endpoint.",
  "Follow the Agent integration guide for your host, such as Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor.",
  "Open http://127.0.0.1:3020 and open your Beat Design project.",
  "Ask the agent to make the timeline changes and leave the Editor open for review."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the BeatDesign MCP tools in <repo path>, open the latest project, add the clips in <clip folder> to a timeline, place the logo overlay at <logo file>, and style the SRT captions. Confirm the changes appear in the browser Editor and report what changed.",

 "difficulty": "Advanced",
 "time": "45 minutes",

 "caveat": "The README lists MCP host setup in separate per-agent guides, so you must follow the guide for your own host before the agent can see the tools.",
