hi i was under the impression than this was a tool for controlling a running mpv instance im trying to create an mpv script and thought would be of help but it seems i was confused so im asking can you use this with a running mpv instance if so how

No, you cannot. This python library is a wrapper around libmpv, and does not currently address mpv's IPC interface. Have a look at this project, which should be able to control a running mpv instance through its IPC interface. Note that I haven't used that project before, so I can't vouch for it.
