Live ✅ — verified end-to-end
  1. Copy the server URL: https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
  3. Paste the URL and click Add
  4. Click Connect, then "Sign in with ClipSpeed"
  5. Sign in with Google (or email) → click Allow → Connected
https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp

This is the proven path — real Google sign-in → Allow → a real clip job ran (submit_to_clipspeed → check_clips, Hormozi captions, rendered). No API key needed; OAuth handles auth.

Same one-click OAuth — rolling out (not yet verified by us)
  1. Copy the server URL: https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp
  2. Add it as a custom connector in ChatGPT's connector settings
  3. Connect and choose "Sign in with ClipSpeed"
  4. Sign in with Google or email → Allow
https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp

ChatGPT uses the same standard MCP OAuth as Claude. We've verified it end-to-end on Claude; the ChatGPT flow is the identical standard and is rolling out — we don't claim it verified yet.

Config works today · one-click OAuth rolling out
  1. Fastest today: add a static Bearer key in ~/.cursor/mcp.json
  2. Or use one-click OAuth when it lands (same standard flow)
  3. Generate a key at Account → API & Integrations → Generate API Key
// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipspeed": {
      "url": "https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

The static-key config works in Cursor today. One-click OAuth is the same standard flow and is rolling out — not yet verified by us.

Works today ✅ — the fastest path (CLI)

For Claude Code · Codex · OpenClaw · Hermes

  1. Generate a key at Account → API & Integrations → Generate API Key
  2. Run the CLI add command with your key in the Authorization header
  3. Start clipping — no OAuth GUI needed
claude mcp add --transport http clipspeed https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>"

For CLI agents the command line is the fast path (no OAuth GUI). Codex/OpenClaw/Hermes use the same HTTP transport + Bearer key pattern.

Works today ✅ — one-line installer

Claude Desktop (local, no OAuth GUI)

  1. Generate a key at Account → API & Integrations → Generate API Key
  2. Run the npx installer with your key — it auto-writes the config
  3. Restart Claude Desktop
npx clipspeed-mcp@1.0.0 install --key <API_KEY>

Claude Desktop has no OAuth connector GUI, so the npx installer writes a static-key config for you. One command, done.

Works today ✅ — config file (static key)
  1. Generate a key at Account → API & Integrations → Generate API Key
  2. Add the server to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
  3. Note: Windsurf uses serverUrl (not url)
  4. Reload Windsurf
// ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipspeed": {
      "serverUrl": "https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <API_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf's key is serverUrl, not url — a common gotcha. Static Bearer key works today.

// Only Claude (claude.ai) is verified end-to-end today. ChatGPT & Cursor use the same standard MCP OAuth and are rolling out — we label them "rolling out," not "verified." CLI, Claude Desktop & Windsurf use a static Bearer key and work today. Power users: full API & developer docs.

This is the loop, start to finish — in one conversation. You say the sentence, ClipSpeed discovers the trend, clips it, captions it, and hands you everything you need to post.

Trends cool fast. Clip the peak, not the plateau.

Ten tools. One creator loop.

Every tool below is real and live in production — grouped into the three moves of the loop. Copy any example prompt straight into your AI.

1 · Discover & Clip
🔥
discover_trending

Finds the fastest-growing recent video in your niche (7-day window) so you clip the trend before it cools. Pass a niche like "AI tools" or omit to reuse your last one.

Find the hottest AI-tools video this week.
submit_to_clipspeed

Turns any video URL into scored, captioned 9:16 vertical clips. Optionally pass a captionStyle (karaoke, hormozi, beasty, fire, youshaei, cinematic). Returns a projectId to poll.

Clip this video in Hormozi captions: <url>
2 · Get Your Clips
check_clips

Polls a projectId for progress and pulls back the finished scored + captioned 9:16 clips when they're ready.

Are my clips done yet? Show me the finished ones.
🎨
list_templates

Lists the caption-style presets — karaoke, hormozi, beasty, fire, youshaei, cinematic — so you can pick the look before you clip.

What caption styles can I use?
3 · Package & Publish
📦
creator_pack

Returns per-clip suggested titles, scroll-stopping hooks, and best posting times (platform-aware) for a projectId.

Give me titles, hooks, and best posting times for these clips on TikTok.
📺
publish_to_youtube

Publishes a finished clip straight to YouTube (defaults to private) — needs a connected YouTube account.

Publish the top clip to YouTube as unlisted.
4 · Clip a Livestream, Live
🔴
clip_livestream

Clips a Twitch, Kick or YouTube stream in real time, while it is still broadcasting — paste the live URL and clips start landing before the stream ends.

📡
check_livestream

Polls a live session: whether the stream is still running, minutes monitored, and every clip made so far — new ones keep arriving while it is live.

⏱️
extend_livestream

Raises a session's safety cap. Live sessions auto-stop after an hour to protect your monthly live budget; extend only when you want more.

⏹️
stop_livestream

Ends a live session on request. Clips already made are kept and stay downloadable.

Ten tools today, live in production. Caption styles: karaoke, hormozi, beasty, fire, youshaei, cinematic — Hormozi converts hardest.

Fire your editor. Talk to your AI instead.

Stop scrubbing timelines. Say the sentence, get the clips. Copy any of these straight into Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT.

Questions creators ask

Do I need an API key to connect in Claude?
No. In Claude just paste https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp as a custom connector and click "Sign in with ClipSpeed" — Google (or email) handles auth, click Allow, and you're connected. API keys are the power-user path for CLIs and config-file clients.
How long does it take to get clips back?
Discovering a trend and clipping it typically lands in around 30 minutes, depending on video length and queue. You paste a URL (or let discover_trending pick one), and the scored, captioned 9:16 clips plus titles and posting times come back — often to your phone before the trend cools.
What caption styles are available?
Six: karaoke, hormozi, beasty, fire, youshaei, and cinematic. Hormozi is the highest-converting karaoke-style caption — that's the ClipSpeed signature look. Ask for it by name, or run list_templates to browse.
Which AI clients does this work in?
Claude (claude.ai) is live and verified with one-click "Sign in with ClipSpeed." ChatGPT and Cursor use the same standard MCP OAuth and are rolling out. Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw and Hermes connect via the CLI, Claude Desktop via a one-line npx installer, and Windsurf via a config file.
Is the ChatGPT / Cursor setup verified?
It uses the exact same standard MCP OAuth that we verified end-to-end on Claude — so the mechanism is proven. We haven't independently verified the ChatGPT and Cursor flows ourselves yet, so we call them "rolling out" rather than "verified." A static API key works in Cursor today if you want to start now.
Can I post clips to TikTok, YouTube, Instagram or X?
publish_to_youtube ships finished clips to a connected YouTube account (defaults to private) right from your AI. creator_pack also hands you the titles, hooks, and best posting times you need to post everywhere else fast.
What does it cost?
$1 starts a 3-day trial. After that it's Pro at $29/mo. Every tool — discover_trending, clipping, captions, creator_pack, and publishing — is included.
Is my card charged right away?
You start a 3-day trial for $1. You won't be charged Pro's $29/mo unless you continue after the trial, and you can cancel anytime during it.
