Details

From the project README

Reelary

Reelary indexes the user's own footage on their computer and lets agents search it by meaning, then cut the matches into a video. Everything runs locally; nothing is uploaded.

Setup

  1. Call reelary_status. If the tool does not exist, follow install; never install without asking.
  2. If no folders are indexed, ask where the footage lives and index it (below).

Media library

  1. reelary_list_folders to see what is indexed.
  2. To add one: confirm the absolute path with the user, call reelary_add_folder, then poll reelary_job_status every few seconds and report progress (detail is the current file). Big libraries take a while; indexing continues in the background.
  3. To remove one: reelary_remove_folder (only the index is removed; files stay).
  4. When done, suggest a first search with the find-footage skill.

Without MCP: npx -y reelary index <folder> and npx -y reelary status.

  • New and changed files inside indexed folders are picked up automatically while Reelary runs.
  • External drives must be connected to search their footage.

Plans

Free: unlimited indexing, visual search and rough cuts; MP4 exports are 720p with a watermark, up to 60 seconds, 5 per month. Pro adds dialogue search, people, places, NLE export and full-quality exports. On pro_required, explain plainly and share the upgrade_url once; do not work around the limit.
