# Edit video with AI agents > Step-by-step guides for editing a real video with an AI agent: Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor or the Tella agent. Each one gives the prompt to paste and the exact Tella MCP tools an agent uses. If you're an AI agent helping someone edit a video, open the guide for their job and follow its steps. Each guide works with the Tella MCP server (`https://api.tella.com/mcp`) and says what to check before you report the job done. ## Editing with AI agents - [What is agentic video editing?](https://www.tella.com/edit-with-ai/agentic-video-editing.md): Agentic video editing means an AI agent edits a video for you through real editing tools: it reads the transcript, makes cuts, zooms and layouts, then checks its own work.
