How to connect ClipSpeed to Claude
The connector is a URL. Paste it once in Claude's connector settings, sign in to ClipSpeed in the browser tab that opens, and the tools are available in every new chat.
1 · Connect · about a minute
https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcpThere is also a ClipSpeed listing in the Claude connector directory. That listing is the clipping toolset only; scheduling, image and video generation live on the custom connector URL above.
2 · Then ask
- Open Claude on the web or desktop, then Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
- Name it ClipSpeed and paste https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp as the URL. Save.
- Click Connect. A ClipSpeed sign-in opens; approve it. No API key is involved.
- Start a new chat, turn the ClipSpeed connector on in the tools menu, and ask it to list your channels.
Using Claude Code in the terminal instead? That route is one command: see the Claude Code guide. Developer reference: the Claude MCP page.

One connection powers every channel you run
Connect each platform to ClipSpeed once, through the platform's own sign-in. From then on Claude can post to any of them by name, and ClipSpeed publishes at the minute you set. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. The badge on each platform tells you the truth about the rest.

Which way should I connect ClipSpeed to Claude?
Use the first row unless you have a reason not to. 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 https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp | OAuth sign-in in the browser | Full: scheduling, clipping, image and video generation | Most Claude users |
| Directory listing | Add ClipSpeed from the Claude connector directory | OAuth via Claude | Clipping only (no scheduling, no generation) | People who only want clips |
| Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http clipspeed https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp | OAuth, or an API key header | Full, plus headless mode | Developers and CI |
The same server works with every other agent too: see the MCP server page and the AI agents overview.
Why use Claude for social media with ClipSpeed?
Claude brings the context: the Claude app on the web, desktop and mobile. 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.
Connect once, every chat
The connector is saved on your Claude account. Turn it on in any new chat and the ClipSpeed tools are there, on the web, desktop and phone.
Projects and files as source
Drop a transcript, a changelog or a doc into the chat and ask for a week of posts from it. Claude reads it, drafts, and books.
Approve in the thread
Claude shows the plan and asks before anything public is booked. Say preview first and nothing is booked until you say so.
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 books, so a hurried prompt cannot flood a platform or post the same thing twice.
What is Claude?
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, available in the browser at claude.ai, as a desktop app for Mac and Windows, and on iOS and Android. It reads files, browses, and reaches outside tools through connectors built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With the ClipSpeed connector added, Claude can clip a video, generate an image or a short video, and schedule posts to your connected platforms, all from a normal conversation.
Claude vs Claude Desktop vs Claude Code
| Surface | Where it runs | Who it is for | How ClipSpeed connects | Notable difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (claude.ai) | Browser, desktop app, mobile | Anyone | Custom connector URL | This page. Chat first; approves each booking in the thread. |
| Claude Desktop | Mac and Windows app | People who want local files in the chat | The same connector; it syncs from claude.ai | Can read a folder of exports and post from it. |
| Claude Code | Terminal, VS Code, JetBrains | Developers | claude mcp add | Reads your repo, runs headless with claude -p, fits CI and cron. |
Where it runs

How ClipSpeed works with Claude
Once connected, Claude 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.
- The connector exposes ClipSpeed's tools to Claude:
list_channels,platform_settings,schedule_post,list_scheduled_posts,cancel_scheduled_post,post_analytics, plus clipping and generation - Claude reads each platform's rules before composing, so a 280-character X post and a 100-character YouTube title come out right the first time
- A time you name is booked exactly or refused with the reason and the next open slot; it is never moved quietly
preview: trueshows the plan with every slot and nothing booked; you approve and Claude books- Sign-in is OAuth; Claude never sees a platform password and ClipSpeed never sees your Claude account
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.

# Rules
- Read platform_settings before composing; limits are refused, never trimmed.
- Preview a plan (preview: true) before booking; never skip the user's approval.
- A refused slot comes back with the next open one. Use it; never guess a time.
- One piece of content goes to one platform once.What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
Claude 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 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. Back come the finished 9:16 clips with titles, transcripts, viral scores and preview links.schedule_postPass the clip id, the platforms, a caption and a time. Claude shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot. ClipSpeed runs it on the model that fits (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Nano Banana Pro, GPT Image and others) and quotes the credits first.wait_for_generationReturns the hosted result link and a preview the agent can show you.schedule_post with media_urlThe result link goes straight into the booking. 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 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.
Directory listing or custom connector?
ClipSpeed appears in Claude's connector directory as a clipping tool. That listing is deliberately narrow, which is why this page sends you to the custom connector URL: it is the same account and the same sign-in, but it carries the scheduling tools and the image and video generators as well. If you added the directory version first, add the custom connector too; both can be on at once.
What can you ask Claude to do?
Anything the ClipSpeed tools expose: channels, posts, media, clips, generation and analytics. Four typical requests and what Claude does with each. Copy one and change the names.
Announce across two platforms
Post a short announcement about the new pricing page to X and LinkedIn tomorrow at 9am. Keep the X version under 280 characters with the link counted.
Plan the week from a transcript
Here is the transcript of Monday's webinar. Clip it, keep the top five by viral score, and plan one Short a day on YouTube at 5pm. Preview first.
Generate, then post
Generate a 4:5 image of the product on a kitchen counter in morning light, write a caption under 150 characters, and post it to Instagram at 6pm.
Review and adjust
What's scheduled this week? Move nothing, but cancel Friday's LinkedIn post and tell me the next open LinkedIn slot on Monday.
Which platforms can Claude post to?
ClipSpeed posts today to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn. Every platform below has a dedicated Claude guide with the settings reference, the limits and example prompts. The badge is the truth: only a platform marked posting today can be booked.
Claude and ClipSpeed: frequently asked questions
How do I connect ClipSpeed to Claude?
The connector is a URL. Paste it once in Claude's connector settings, sign in to ClipSpeed in the browser tab that opens, and the tools are available in every new chat. Open Claude on the web or desktop, then Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Name it ClipSpeed and paste https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp as the URL. Save. Nothing else is installed, and the same account you use in the ClipSpeed app is the one Claude books into.
Do I need a paid ClipSpeed plan to schedule from Claude?
Scheduling needs an active ClipSpeed plan or the $1 trial, and it is included on every paid plan at no extra cost. Claude 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 the same as Claude Desktop?
No. Claude (claude.ai): browser, desktop app, mobile, chat first; approves each booking in the thread. Claude Desktop: mac and windows app, can read a folder of exports and post from it. Claude Code: terminal, vs code, jetbrains, reads your repo, runs headless with claude -p, fits ci and cron. All of them reach the same ClipSpeed account and the same calendar; this page covers Claude.
What can Claude 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 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 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 never sees the platform at all. Claude authenticates to ClipSpeed over OAuth, so no key is pasted anywhere, and it can only reach channels already connected in your account. Keep Claude's confirmation step on for anything that goes live.
Which platforms can Claude 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 guide with a settings reference and the limits that apply.
Claude 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 to list channels again.
Is the ClipSpeed connector in the Claude directory the same as the custom connector?
No. The directory listing is clipping only. The custom connector at https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp carries clipping, scheduling, and image and video generation. Same account, same sign-in; add the custom one to schedule.
Does Claude on my phone get the connector too?
Yes. Connectors are saved on your Claude account, so a connector added on the web is available in the iOS and Android apps. Turn it on in the tools menu of a new chat.
