Workspace MCP
Built-in tools that let an agent in ADE read your other chats, tasks, diffs and terminal output.
What it is#
Every chat in ADE comes with built-in tools called videodraft_workspace. With them, an agent can see the rest of the app: other chats and tasks, what changed in the diff and what the Run tab printed. It can also leave review comments on the diff.
- Every agent gets it, in VideoDraft mode and Code mode. There is nothing to turn on.
- It only reads, except for review comments on the diff.
- It stays on under Enterprise data privacy, because it runs on your Mac.
Not the MCP connector
The MCP connector lets apps outside ADE, such as Claude or ChatGPT, reach your VideoDraft account. Workspace MCP runs inside ADE and sees only ADE.
Ask for it in plain words#
You do not need to name the tools. Say what you want and the agent picks them. It reads long chats a page at a time, so it takes in only what it needs.
