This server has a remotely hosted endpoint. Open its connector listing for connection details, authentication requirements, and setup instructions:

You ship it. Cliphouse shows it off.
Your coding agent turns every release into a video for your socials. It finds the selling points, picks the angle, writes the copy, and uses your brand colors and logo. Free skill and MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT.

You can preview and edit without an account. MP4 download and editing more than 3 gallery templates need a free Google sign-in.
Install
npx skills add sunmer/cliphouseInstalls the cliphouse skill. It needs Node 18 or later, has no dependencies, and runs no commands besides its own helper.
In Codex you can also run $skill-installer install https://github.com/sunmer/cliphouse/tree/main/skills/cliphouse.
MCP server URL, no key needed:
https://cliphou.se/mcpAdd to Cursor · Add to VS Code
Claude.ai and ChatGPT: add a custom connector with the URL above.
Claude Code with MCP instead of the skill:
claude mcp add --transport http cliphouse https://cliphou.se/mcpCodex with MCP, in ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.cliphouse]
url = "https://cliphou.se/mcp"GitHub does not open cursor:// and vscode: links from a README in every browser. If a link does nothing, add the MCP server URL manually.

Status
Feature | Status |
Template grid in the chat that already shows your product, with short animated previews | Available |
Filling the template from your repo, and editing it by prompt | Available. You get a cliphou.se editor link, where you export the MP4. |
A preview of your own product in the picked template | Available as a 4-second animated loop, with a poster image as a fallback. |
Posting to X from the agent | Coming soon. Today the agent writes the caption and opens the X post window for you to attach the MP4. |

How it works
skills/cliphouse/scripts/cliphouse.mjs talks to the public cliphou.se catalog over HTTPS. Search uses the cliphou.se MCP server, so the skill and the MCP tools rank templates the same way.
Goals: launch-product, announce-feature, share-update, grow-waitlist, announce-integration, announce-pricing, celebrate-milestone, share-social-proof, promote-event, introduce-brand, run-promotion, and hire-team.
The cliphou.se deploy checks this skill against its MCP contract. If the installed skill is older than the server, search returns a warning with the update command.
Command | Does |
| Finds templates for a marketing goal. |
| Uploads the project's logo (found automatically, or the file you name) and adds it to |
| Checks your copy against each template's text limits before rendering, and lists the fields that are too long. |
| Renders up to 4 templates with your brand on the server, writes |
| Prints the editable text, colors, and limits. |
| Renders an animated loop and a poster of your product in the template on the server, and prints the editor link. |
| Validates the edit and prints a cliphou.se editor link. |
| Writes a side-by-side preview page for terminals and prints its path. The agent asks before opening it. |
What the default skill does not do:
It does not run
npm,curl,tar, or any command from a downloaded spec.It does not download source packages into your repo.
It does not open your browser on its own.
It caches stock previews only from https://cliphou.se/previews/ and personalized posters and loops only from https://cliphou.se/p/<hash>.jpg and .webp, in ~/.cache/cliphouse. Set CLIPHOUSE_ORIGIN to use another host.
In the Codex picker, a click on a tile sends one fixed message: $cliphouse: use template <id> and fill it for this project. It is sent only on your click, and the id must match ^[a-z0-9-]+$.
cliphouse-render uses fixed render commands written in its SKILL.md. It checks each package against source.packageSha256 before it extracts it into .cliphouse/<id>/, and asks before it adds .cliphouse/ to .gitignore or installs dependencies.
