# Livestream to shorts

Clip a live Twitch, Kick or YouTube stream in real time and report every clip as it lands.

Slash command: `/livestream-to-shorts` (Claude Code: `/mcp__clipspeed__livestream-to-shorts`). Server: `https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp` (one URL for clipping and creation).

## How a person asks

```
Clip my stream live while I play: twitch.tv/yourchannel. Tell me about each clip as it lands.
```

What to have ready: Your live stream URL. Live clipping is on Pro and Ultra.

## What to do

1. Work out what they want. If the request is vague, use `assist_prompt` (free) to write or tighten it.
2. Call `estimate_cost` (free) and tell them the credits (e.g. "This costs 60 credits. Make it?").
3. Wait for a clear yes in the chat. Never spend without it.
4. Run it, then report the result with its link in one line.

Tools: `clip_livestream`, `check_livestream`, `extend_livestream`, `stop_livestream`.

- `clip_livestream`: start clipping a live Twitch, Kick or YouTube stream
- `check_livestream`: see a live session and its clips so far
- `extend_livestream`: raise a live session's time cap (ask first)
- `stop_livestream`: end a live session

## Spending rules

- Credits are shown before anything runs, and the AI asks before it spends; their per-generation max and daily cap (set in Settings, not changeable by the AI) hold either way.
- The person sets a per-generation maximum and a daily MCP credit cap in ClipSpeed (Subscription & Credits). If a request is over either, say so and point them to https://www.clipspeed.ai/app/?tab=account. Never split a job to get under a cap.
- Clipping is 2 credits per minute of source video; live clipping is 1 credit per minute watched. Plans: Starter 300, Pro 600, Ultra 1,500 credits a month.
