# Control protocol & MCP
## Desktop control channel
`filmcraft --control 9876` (or `FILMCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT`) listens on `127.0.0.1:<port>` (loopback only).
One JSON request per line → one JSON reply per line:
```json
{"id": 1, "method": "engine.execute", "params": {"command": "sequence.addEdit", "params": {"seconds": 3}}}
{"id": 1, "ok": true, "result": {"cuts": 2}}
```
Methods (handlers in `crates/ui-egui/src/control.rs`):
| Method | Params | |
|---|---|---|
| `engine.execute` / `ui.menu.invoke` | `{command, params}` | any engine or UI command id |
| `engine.commands` / `ui.menu.list` | – | command registry / menu tree |
| `ui.inspect` | – | UI state (tool, workspace, dock, timeline view, playback, fps…) |
| `ui.elements` | `{prefix?}` | every on-screen interactive element: id, label, rect |
| `ui.set` | `{tool, workspace, mode, theme, focused, playbackRes, timeline:{pps,scroll,fit}}` | |
| `ui.panel.show` / `ui.panel.close` | `{panel}` | |
| `ui.click` / `ui.move` | `{id}` or `{x,y}`, `button`, `count`, `modifiers` | synthetic pointer input |
| `ui.drag` | `{from, to, steps, modifiers}` | press–move–release |
| `ui.scroll` | `{id|x,y, dx, dy, modifiers}` | wheel / trackpad |
| `ui.key` / `ui.type` | `{key}` (`Cmd+K`, `Space`…) / `{text}` | keyboard |
| `ui.timeline.hit` / `ui.timeline.locate` | `{x,y}` / `{clip, edge?}` | timeline hit-testing |
| `ui.playback` | `{action: play|stop|toggle, speed?}` | |
| `ui.screenshot` | `{path?, panel?}` | PNG of the window or one panel |
| `ui.resize`, `ui.focus`, `app.quit` | | |
Element ids are stable, e.g. `timeline.clip.<id>`, `timeline.track.V1.lock`, `tools.Razor`,
`project.item.<id>`, `effects.item.gaussian_blur`, `panel.tab.Timeline`, `program.transport.playback.toggle`.
## MCP
`filmcraft-cli mcp` serves MCP on stdio: headless (in-process session; `--demo` / `--project p.fcproj`)
or `--bridge 127.0.0.1:9876` to drive the running app. Tools: `command_list`, `command_run`,
`project_inspect`, `sequence_inspect`, `media_import`, `render_frame`, `ui_inspect`, `ui_elements`,
`ui_click`, `ui_drag`, `ui_key`, `ui_type`, `ui_screenshot`, `ui_control`. `.mcp.json` registers both.
Time is in ticks (254 016 000 000 per second); commands also accept `seconds`, `frame` or `timecode`.
