-### Copying the Draft to CapCut Draft Path
+### 🆕 MCP Usage Examples
 
-Calling `save_draft` will generate a folder starting with `dfd_` in the current directory of the server. Copy this folder to the CapCut draft directory, and you will be able to see the generated draft.
+#### Basic Workflow
+```python
+# Create a new draft
+draft = mcp_client.call_tool("create_draft", {
+    "width": 1080,
+    "height": 1920
+})
