## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).

  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (5)

### `list_looks` (~170 tokens)

List caption looks

List CaptionsEasy's designed caption looks (99). Each has a permanent `number` and an `id`; pass either to build_captions / caption_video. Filter with `query` (free text over name, description, tags and section, e.g. "bold", "neon", "subtitle", "one word", "karaoke") or `section` (viral, popular, premium, trending, creator, dynamic, typography, simple, paper, plus clean/fun/retro/tech...). `layout: word` looks show one word at a time (punchy Shorts/TikTok); sentence/karaoke looks show short phrases (talking heads, tutorials).

Input parameters:

- `query` (string)
- `section` (string)
- `tags` (array)

### `describe_look` (~137 tokens)

Describe a caption look

One look's defaults and the ONLY style controls its design responds to: `controls` [{ key, type, min/max/options, default, dependsOn }] and pacing `settings` (maxWordsPerCard, pauseMs, gapBehavior...). Use it to turn a request like "make the highlight pink and put captions higher" into overrides, e.g. { "active.color": "#FF3366", "position.y": 0.6 }. Keys not listed here are rejected.

Input parameters:

- `look` (required): Look number (e.g. 12) or id (e.g. "hormozi_box"), from list_looks

### `build_captions` (~306 tokens)

Build caption props

Turn timed words + a look (+ optional overrides/settings) into validated props { doc, style, settings } for the CaptionedVideo Remotion composition (import { CaptionedVideo } from "captionseasy/remotion"; render it in your own timeline, mode "burn" over a video or "overlay" for captions only). Pure and instant: no video, no rendering. Pass `words` inline or `words_file` (a JSON file with an array or { words }). Pass `out` to write the props to a file and get a short summary back instead of the full JSON. Invalid keys/values return a clear error listing what is allowed.

Input parameters:

- `language` (string): Language tag stored in the doc (default "en")
- `look` (required): Look number (e.g. 12) or id (e.g. "hormozi_box"), from list_looks
- `out` (string): Optional path to write the props JSON
- `overrides` (object): Style changes, keys from describe_look controls (flat dot paths), e.g. {"active.color": "#FF3366", "fontSize": 80, "position.y": 0.8}
- `settings` (object): Pacing changes, keys from describe_look settings, e.g. {"maxWordsPerCard": 2}
- `words` (array): Timed words, milliseconds on the video's clock
- `words_file` (string)

### `caption_video` (~369 tokens)

Caption a video file

Render captions onto a local video, entirely on this machine. Needs the add-on `captionseasy-render` (returns ADDON_MISSING with the install command if absent). Give `words` / `words_file`; without them the video is transcribed first (needs the add-on `captionseasy-transcribe`). mode "burn" (default) writes an MP4 with captions and the original audio; mode "overlay" writes only the captions on a transparent background, same size/length as the video: overlay_format "mov" (ProRes 4444, default, every NLE) or "webm" (VP9 alpha, small). `overrides`/`settings` as in build_captions. Returns { out, durationMs, width, height, look, words, renderMs }. Takes roughly real time to a few times real time.

Input parameters:

- `language` (string)
- `look` (required): Look number (e.g. 12) or id (e.g. "hormozi_box"), from list_looks
- `mode` (string)
- `out` (string): Output path (default: next to the video)
- `overlay_format` (string)
- `overrides` (object): Style changes, keys from describe_look controls (flat dot paths), e.g. {"active.color": "#FF3366", "fontSize": 80, "position.y": 0.8}
- `settings` (object): Pacing changes, keys from describe_look settings, e.g. {"maxWordsPerCard": 2}
- `video` (string, required): Absolute path of the local video file
- `words` (array): Timed words, milliseconds on the video's clock
- `words_file` (string)

### `transcribe` (~139 tokens)

Transcribe a video

Speech-to-text with word timestamps for a local video/audio file, with a local Whisper model. Needs the add-on `captionseasy-transcribe` (returns ADDON_MISSING with the install command if absent); its first call downloads the model once (~200 MB). Returns { language, durationMs, words: [{ text, startMs, endMs }] }. language: "en" (default), "hinglish" or "auto". Pass `out` to also save the words as JSON.

Input parameters:

- `language` (string)
- `out` (string)
- `video` (string, required): Absolute path of the local video or audio file
