Step 1: Create a named connection in the Mac app
Create a named client connection. The MCP server is off until you enable one.

Step 2: Grant specific folders and evidence categories
Choose folders and evidence categories. Future folders stay excluded unless you explicitly include them.

Step 3: Review what the assistant receives
Follow cited moments back into CutroomOS. Revoke access to stop future requests.
Sample request“Pull the founder’s pricing quotes into my launch post” → search_clips, get_transcript → cited quotes
Read-only, scoped and revocable
At launch, assistants cannot delete, move, rename, export or write files, and cannot start indexing. Scope is enforced before retrieval, so unauthorized folders do not appear in results. The assistant’s provider may process information it receives.
Start with the footage you already have.
CutroomOS runs on your Mac and works with the folders where your videos already live.
