Caveats

  • Exports are branded: the vendor's 7 Nov recorded run carries a corner mark throughout and a 5-second end card, and it says paid does not mean unbranded.
  • No free editing and no trial: account and uploads are free, MCP editing starts at $15 a month for 500 credits, and per-tool credit costs are unpublished.
  • A 220-tool catalogue behind OAuth, so it was checked from the vendor's public server card, not a live tools/list; 47 tools are marked read-only.
  • Young and closed: domain registered March 2026, in the MCP Registry since August, and the repo holds skills and docs on a personal GitHub account.

What it does

Valmera gives a connected assistant its own hosted editor: upload the footage, wait for indexing, then read transcripts, shots and frames and cut against them, with captions, reframing, music, b-roll and grading layered on as numbered EDL versions. The original upload is never modified, any cut can be restored, and a render_preview pass sits between the edit and export_final, which renders the full-resolution file from source. For an assistant editor it is a rough-cut-and-revise loop that runs without an NLE, at the price of a subscription and a branded export.

Auth

OAuth — Browser OAuth (dynamic client registration, PKCE S256) against a valmera.io account; a static bearer token can be minted at https://valmera.io/mcp/connect

Field notes

Full curator notes (verified Nov 7, 2026)

Checked 7 Nov 2026: https://valmera.io/mcp/server answers 401 with a Bearer challenge (realm valmera, scope valmera.edit) pointing at protected-resource metadata, and the authorization server advertises dynamic client registration, PKCE S256 and token revocation. Editing itself was not exercised, because it needs a paid account. The public server card lists 220 tools in nine groups and states that tools with an unconfigured backing service are hidden from tools/list, so a connected client may see fewer. Editing the same project from Studio and over MCP at once is refused. The vendor's recorded run of 7 Nov (MCP-RECORDED-EDIT.md, commit 798e873) checks out: the published final MP4 hashes to the receipt value, ffprobe reads 1080x1080 at 30 fps for 15.0 s from a 1280x720 source, and extracted frames show an 'Edited using Valmera AI' corner mark on the program plus a five-second end card. The subscribe page says the end card is appended, the homepage says paid plans normally omit overlay watermarks unless service settings override that, and the vendor's own FREE-EXPORT-CHECK doc says not to assume a paid export is unbranded; check a real export before committing a deliverable. Plans: Plus $15 a month (500 credits, MCP only), Pro $50 (1,500, adds Valmera's own agent), Max $100 (4,000); annual is ten months' price, credits do not roll over, new checkouts have no trial and there is a 14-day refund window. Upload limits are 3 hours, but the size cap reads 14 GB on the homepage and 100 GB on the setup and tool pages. The terms leave content ownership with the user, are governed by UAE law, and list no AI model subprocessors. The repo is MIT-licensed skills, docs and client plugins; the engine is closed. It is published from a personal GitHub account, but valmera.io links to it and the DNS-verified io.valmera registry namespace (0.2.0, 5 Oct 2026) points to it. Skipped on 8 Sep 2026 as too green (v0.1.1 on an onrender.com host); the endpoint has since moved to valmera.io. For a hosted timeline you can reopen and hand-finish, Clueso and ChatCut are the closer comparisons.
