Edit videos with Google Antigravity

PandaStudio from writepanda.ai. Antigravity from antigravity.google. Launch PandaStudio once so it writes its local credentials file — that's all the setup PandaStudio needs.

PandaStudio's MCP server only runs while the local automation server is on. For the one-click agents (Claude, Codex) the app flips this for you — but Antigravity connects manually, so switch it on yourself:

• Open Settings → Automation
• Toggle Allow local automation on

This is the single most common reason Antigravity shows no PandaStudio tools: if local automation is off, there's no server for the MCP config to reach. Leave it on and the server starts automatically whenever PandaStudio is running.

PandaStudio ships its MCP server inside the installed app. On macOS, link it onto /usr/local/bin once so Antigravity can launch it by name:

sudo /Applications/PandaStudio.app/Contents/Resources/cli/install-cli-symlink-mac.sh

Windows installer (NSIS) adds the launcher directory to %PATH% automatically — skip this step.

Open Antigravity's agent panel and go to its MCP settings — in the current build that's the Agent panel → MCP servers (the small tools/plug icon) → Manage → Edit raw config. Antigravity reads the same mcpServers JSON schema every other MCP client uses. Paste this in:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pandastudio": {
      "command": "pandastudio-mcp"
    }
  }
}

No token field, no env var, no Node runtime. The PandaStudio MCP server runs under the Electron-bundled Node inside the app and auto-discovers credentials from ~/.config/pandastudio/ (loopback only, never exposed to the internet). If you edit the file directly rather than through the UI, it lives under your Antigravity user config directory as mcp_config.json.

The Skill teaches the model behind Antigravity PandaStudio's full command surface so it can chain edits without you explaining the API. Run once in your terminal:

npx skills add kamskans/pandastudio-skills

It installs the Skill for every agent it detects on your machine — one command covers Antigravity alongside anything else you have set up.

Back in the MCP servers panel, pandastudio should now appear with its tools listed and a healthy/green status. If it's red or empty, use Refresh and check the server logs — it's almost always one of three things: local automation still off (step 2), a JSON typo (step 4), or PandaStudio not launched yet (no credentials file to read).

Open Antigravity's agent, make sure it's in a tool-using / agent mode, and try:

• "Open my latest recording, transcribe it, remove filler words and silences, then export an MP4."
• "Create a new 9:16 project, import the file at ~/Recordings/launch.mov, add bold captions, and preview it."
• "List all my projects from this week and tell me which one is longest."
