# OpusClip MCP

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.opus-pro/opusclip -->

[![smithery badge](https://smithery.ai/badge/opusclip/opusclip)](https://smithery.ai/servers/opusclip/opusclip)
[![PyPI](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/opusclip-mcp)](https://pypi.org/project/opusclip-mcp/)

Turn long videos into AI-curated short clips — from your agent. Submit a video file or
URL and OpusClip finds the best moments, adds captions, reframes to vertical, and returns
ready-to-post clips. It can also generate thumbnails and social copy, pull transcripts,
and schedule posts to your connected social accounts.

**OpusClip is a hosted (remote) MCP server** — nothing to build or run locally.
Authentication is OAuth, handled in the browser on first use. No API keys required.

- **Endpoint:** `https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp` (Streamable HTTP + OAuth)
- **Docs:** https://help.opus.pro/api-reference/agent-setup

## Quick start

Add OpusClip to your MCP client's config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opusclip": {
      "url": "https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

For stdio-only clients, use the npm launcher instead:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opusclip": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@opusclip/mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Or the PyPI launcher, if you prefer Python tooling ([`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opusclip": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["opusclip-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

Both launchers proxy stdio to the hosted endpoint via
[mcp-remote](https://www.npmjs.com/package/mcp-remote), so the Python launcher also
needs Node.js >= 18 on PATH.

On the first tool call, a browser window opens to sign in to your OpusClip account and
approve access.

### Per-client setup

| Client | How |
| --- | --- |

## What you can do
