How to connect ClipSpeed to Claude Cowork
Cowork uses the connectors on your Claude account. Add ClipSpeed once as a custom connector and enable it for the Cowork session.
1 · Connect · about a minute
https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcpClipSpeed has not yet run an end-to-end check inside Cowork specifically. The connector is standard MCP over HTTP with OAuth, which is what Cowork expects; this page is marked accordingly.
2 · Then ask
- In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp.
- Connect and approve the ClipSpeed sign-in.
- Start a Cowork session, give it access to the folder with your recordings or drafts, and enable the ClipSpeed connector.
- Describe the outcome: which platforms, what cadence, and that you want a preview before booking.

Which way should I connect ClipSpeed to Claude Cowork?
The first row is the route this page documents. Every row reaches the same account, the same calendar and the same booking rules; they differ in how you sign in and what else is in the toolset.
| Method | How you connect | Auth | Toolset | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Custom connector (this page) | Settings → Connectors → paste the URL | OAuth | Full | Cowork sessions over folders |
| Claude (chat) | Same connector | OAuth | Full | Step-by-step approval |
| Claude Code | claude mcp add | OAuth or API key | Full plus headless | Developers |
The same server works with every other agent too: see the MCP server page and the AI agents overview.
Why use Claude Cowork for social media with ClipSpeed?
Claude Cowork brings the context: Claude Desktop's Cowork mode. ClipSpeed brings structured tools for every platform, the booking rules that keep an account healthy, and the two things no other scheduler's agent can do: cut the clips and generate the media in the same conversation.
Folder in, calendar out
Point Cowork at a folder of recordings. It clips each, keeps the best, and books a week.
Checks in at the right moments
Cowork asks before outward actions; scheduling is one. Ask for preview first and nothing is booked until you approve.
No terminal
Everything happens in the desktop app with the connector you already have.
Clips from inside the tool call
Submit a video or a live stream, get back captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, and book the best ones. The clipping step is a tool, not a separate product.
Image and video generation
Generate a product shot, a quote card or a short opener with ClipSpeed's models, see the credit price first, and post the hosted result with media_url.
Rules that run on the server
Caps, spacing, exact-or-refused booking, duplicate protection and per-platform limits are enforced when Claude Cowork books, so a hurried prompt cannot flood a platform or post the same thing twice.
What is Claude Cowork?
Claude Cowork is the agent mode in Claude Desktop for knowledge work: it operates on folders, files and desktop apps with less supervision than a chat, and uses the same connectors as claude.ai. With the ClipSpeed connector enabled, Cowork can take a folder of recordings, clip them, write the posts and book them.

How ClipSpeed works with Claude Cowork
Once connected, Claude Cowork sees every ClipSpeed tool the moment the sign-in completes: channels, platform rules, posts, analytics, clipping and generation. It chains them for you; the rules below are what keeps that safe.
- Cowork uses the account's connectors; ClipSpeed's tools are available when enabled
- It reads platform rules before composing
- Exact-or-refused booking with the next open slot named
preview: truefor the plan before booking- OAuth sign-in, no passwords in the session
How booking works, whatever the client
- Exact or refused. A time you name is booked to the minute or refused with the reason and the next open slot. ClipSpeed never moves a booked post without asking.
- As soon as possible is placed and said. Leave the time out and the reply tells you exactly where the post landed.
- Preview books nothing.
preview: trueruns the whole booking, including caps, spacing and slot choice, and writes nothing. It is how a week gets planned before it is booked. - Limits are refused at booking, never trimmed at send time. The reply carries the real count so the fix is one edit.
- Pacing protects the account. Text posts on X are at least 30 minutes apart (ten a day); LinkedIn text is an hour apart (three a day); video uploads are two to four hours apart under your plan's daily cap.
- One piece of content goes to one platform once. The same text or the same file to the same platform is recognised as a duplicate and refused.
- Cancel is undoable for 72 hours in the ClipSpeed app. Copy can be edited while a post is still scheduled; the time cannot, by design.

Cut the clips first
Claude Cowork does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Claude Cowork picks by score, writes the caption from the transcript, and books the clips on YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.
submit_to_clipspeedPaste the link. ClipSpeed starts the job and returns a project id.check_clipsPoll with the project id.

The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the image or video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: Claude Cowork can make an image or a short video with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- Images post as JPG, PNG or WebP up to 25 MB; video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.
Verification status
ClipSpeed has verified the connector in Claude on the web, Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Cowork uses the same connector and has not yet been run end to end by us, so this page is marked as the generic MCP route. If you run it and something differs, the connector URL and the sign-in are the same.
What can you ask Claude Cowork to do?
Anything the ClipSpeed tools expose: channels, posts, media, clips, generation and analytics. Four typical requests and what Claude Cowork does with each. Copy one and change the names.

Claude Cowork and ClipSpeed: frequently asked questions
How do I connect ClipSpeed to Claude Cowork?
Cowork uses the connectors on your Claude account. Add ClipSpeed once as a custom connector and enable it for the Cowork session. In Claude Desktop, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp. Connect and approve the ClipSpeed sign-in. Nothing else is installed, and the same account you use in the ClipSpeed app is the one Claude Cowork books into.
Do I need a paid ClipSpeed plan to schedule from Claude Cowork?
Scheduling needs an active ClipSpeed plan or the $1 trial, and it is included on every paid plan at no extra cost. Claude Cowork itself is billed by Anthropic under your own account. Connect during the trial, book a few posts, and the plan screen in ClipSpeed takes it from there.
Is Claude Cowork the same as Claude Code?
No. Claude Cowork: claude desktop, folders and apps, less supervision. Claude Code: terminal, repo, headless, ci. Claude: chat, one request at a time. All of them reach the same ClipSpeed account and the same calendar; this page covers Claude Cowork.
What can Claude Cowork do with ClipSpeed?
List your connected channels, read each platform's rules, write posts within those rules, schedule or preview them, edit or cancel what is scheduled, and read the numbers after a post goes out. It can also cut a video or a live stream into captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, generate images and video, and book the results. Today that posts to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn; text-only posts go to X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.
Will posts go out while I am away?
Yes. Once Claude Cowork books a post, ClipSpeed holds it and publishes at the scheduled minute whether or not the chat is open. For fully unattended runs, pair ClipSpeed with a headless agent such as Claude Code or Codex.
Does Claude Cowork need my social media passwords?
No. You connect each platform to ClipSpeed once through that platform's own sign-in; ClipSpeed never sees the password and Claude Cowork never sees the platform at all. Claude Cowork authenticates to ClipSpeed over OAuth, so no key is pasted anywhere, and it can only reach channels already connected in your account. Keep Claude Cowork's confirmation step on for anything that goes live.
Which platforms can Claude Cowork post to through ClipSpeed?
Today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. Next on the rail: Facebook, Threads, Bluesky and Pinterest. 21 more platforms, from Telegram and Discord to Reddit and WordPress, are described on their pages with an honest status badge and are not bookable until that badge changes. Each platform below has its own Claude Cowork guide with a settings reference and the limits that apply.
Claude Cowork does not show the ClipSpeed tools. What should I check?
Confirm the connection finished: the ClipSpeed sign-in (or the API key header) has to complete before the tool list is advertised. Then start a fresh chat and make sure the ClipSpeed connector is enabled for it. If a channel is missing rather than a tool, connect the platform in ClipSpeed first and ask Claude Cowork to list channels again.
Has ClipSpeed verified Cowork end to end?
Not yet. The connector is standard MCP over HTTP with OAuth, which Cowork supports, and the same connector is verified in Claude Desktop. The badge on this page changes when the end-to-end check is done.
Can Cowork run unattended?
Cowork works through a task with fewer check-ins than chat, but it asks before outward actions such as scheduling. For fully unattended runs use Claude Code with claude -p.
