What can you do with this server?

The mcp-lumiclip server lets you automatically turn YouTube videos into short, vertical (9:16), subtitled clips using AI — accessible from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant. * Generate Clips: Start AI-powered clip generation from a YouTube URL. Optionally specify a time range (start_time/end_time) to process only a segment, or provide a callback_url webhook instead of polling. Returns a project_id immediately. * Check Project Status: Poll a job using its project_id. Returns progress and — when complete — clips sorted by AI score, each with a download URL, title, duration, thumbnail, and quality info. * List Projects: Retrieve a paginated list of your projects with optional filtering by status (pending, processing, completed, failed, etc.). * Get Clip Details: Fetch full details for a single clip, including multiple resolution download URLs (720p/1080p), thumbnail, score, and the AI-generated reason for selecting that clip. * Check Usage: View your current plan, remaining credits, and billing period — useful to confirm capacity before starting a new job.

Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides REST API endpoints and webhook support for integration with n8n workflows to generate clips, poll status, and retrieve results. Allows generating short clips from YouTube videos by providing a YouTube URL, reframing for vertical video, adding subtitles, and returning download-ready clips.

@lumiclip/mcp-server

Turn long videos into short clips — from Claude, Cursor, or any AI assistant that supports MCP.

Give it a YouTube link. It finds the best moments, reframes for vertical video (9:16), adds subtitles, and returns download-ready clips.

Lumiclip MCP server

Quick Start

Get an API key at app.lumiclip.ai/developers
Run:

LUMICLIP_API_KEY=sk_live_... npx @lumiclip/mcp-server

Setup

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lumiclip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@lumiclip/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "LUMICLIP_API_KEY": "sk_live_..."
      }

Transport: Streamable HTTP (POST)

Tools

Tool	What it does
`generate_clips`	Start clip generation from a YouTube URL. Returns a `project_id` right away.
`get_project_status`	Check progress and get clips when ready. Clips are sorted by score (best first).
`list_projects`	List your projects with status and clip counts.
`get_clip`	Get full details for a single clip.
`check_usage`	See your plan, remaining credits, and usage.

How It Works

Call generate_clips with a YouTube URL
Get back a project_id immediately
Poll get_project_status every 10–15 seconds (or pass a callback_url for webhook)
When done, clips are sorted by score (best first), each with a download_url

Statuses

Project: pending → processing → completed (or completed_no_clips / failed)

Processing steps: queued → DOWNLOADING_VIDEO → EXTRACTING_AUDIO → TRANSCRIBING → DETECTING_HIGHLIGHTS → CUTTING_CLIPS → EXPORTING_CLIPS → done

Clips: pending → exporting → completed (or failed). The download_url is available when clip_status is completed.

Webhooks

Pass a callback_url when calling generate_clips to receive a POST when all clips are ready.

Completed:

{
  "event": "project.completed",
  "project_id": "43dbe622-...",
  "status": "completed",
  "source_url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H51iLa1leOU",
  "clips": [
    {
      "id": "32538b9c-...",
      "title": "One Dating Theory Leads to Chaos",
      "duration": 41.83,
      "score": 90,
      "download_url": "https://cdn.lumiclip.ai/exports/premium/.../clip-32538b9c-....mp4",
      "thumbnail_url": "https://cdn.lumiclip.ai/exports/premium/.../clip-32538b9c-...-thumb.jpg",
      "quality": "1080p"
    }
  ]
}

Failed:

{
  "event": "project.failed",
  "project_id": "43dbe622-...",
  "status": "failed",
  "error": "YouTube video is unavailable",
  "clips": []
}

Clips are sorted by score (highest first). We retry up to 3 times if your server doesn't respond.

Signature verification (optional): Each callback includes an X-Lumiclip-Signature header. Compute HMAC-SHA256 of the request body using SHA-256(your_api_key) as the signing key. Compare with the header value (sha256=<hex>).

Using with n8n

Option A — Webhook (recommended):

Create a workflow with a Webhook trigger node. Copy its URL.
Add an HTTP Request node: POST https://api.lumiclip.ai/api/v1/clips/generate with Header Auth (Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...) and body:
```
{
  "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...",
  "callback_url": "https://your-n8n.com/webhook/abc123"
}
```
When clips are ready, the Webhook node receives the payload.
Best clip: {{ $json.clips[0].download_url }}

Option B — Polling loop:

POST to generate clips (same as above, without callback_url).
Wait 15 seconds → GET https://api.lumiclip.ai/api/v1/projects/{{ $json.project_id }} → IF status is not completed, loop back to Wait.
