What's New in Eddie AI v4

The major v4 changes: new ways to reach Eddie, stronger edit-suite hand-off, and the updated editing workflow.

Eddie is built on MCP (Model Context Protocol), which means you can drive it from Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-capable client — your AI chat becomes the edit bay.

There is no separate Eddie app to install for this, and no per-client version: one connector URL works everywhere, and every client sees the same projects, the same footage and the same credits.

Connect

  1. In Claude, ChatGPT or whichever MCP client you use, add a custom connector with this URL:
https://mcp.heyeddie.ai/api/mcp

In Claude: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. This works on every Claude plan, including Free (capped at one custom connector) — there's no upgrade to make first.

In ChatGPT: you need a paid plan — Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu. Free ChatGPT can't add a custom connector at all. You'll also need Developer Mode turned on first, under Settings, in Connectors or Apps — the exact menu has moved more than once in 2026. If you can't find "Add custom connector," check Developer Mode before anything else.

  1. Sign in when prompted — the connector uses the same Eddie account as the web app.
  2. Ask for an edit: "List my Eddie projects", "Cut project X down to a 2-minute highlight and add captions."

What the connector can do

Most of what Prompt Eddie can: read transcripts, build and refine cuts, add b-roll, captions, titles, motion graphics and sound effects, place music from your workspace's music shelf with auto-ducking, switch multicam angles, reframe for vertical, color grade, and export — timeline files or a finished MP4 with a download link.

A few generation tools stay in the app: generating new music, AI voice-over and AI b-roll isn't available through the connector. Do those in the web app and they're in the same project when you come back to your chat. See Generate with Eddie.

The tools are identical whichever client you connect from. What differs is the assistant driving them, so the two can word things differently or take a different route to the same edit — the edit itself lands in the same place either way.

Good to know

  • Same projects, same credits. Work started in a chat shows up in the web app and vice versa — including work started in a different chat client. You can begin a cut in one and finish it in the other.
  • Reconnect after updates. MCP clients cache tool lists; if a tool seems missing or behaves oddly, disconnect and reconnect the connector.
  • Ask it for help. The connector can search these help articles too — support questions get answered with a link to the relevant page.
