## About

OpusClip connects an assistant to the OpusClip video platform. Submit a video file or URL and it finds the best moments, adds captions, reframes to vertical and returns clips. It can also pull transcripts, generate thumbnails and social copy, group clips into collections, and schedule posts to connected social accounts.

It runs as a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp. Sign-in uses OAuth in the browser with your OpusClip account, and no API key is needed. Stdio-only clients can use the npm package @opusclip/mcp or the PyPI package opusclip-mcp, which proxy to the hosted endpoint.

## What it can do

- Submit a video file or URL and get AI-picked clips scored for virality
- Apply editing scripts for trim, reframe, layout and captions
- Pull transcripts and generate styled captions
- Generate thumbnail options for a clip
- Generate titles, descriptions and hashtags per platform
- Group clips into collections and export them
- Schedule or publish clips to connected social accounts
- Check remaining credits and plan

## Example prompts

- "Turn this YouTube link into short vertical clips with captions"
- "Get the transcript for my latest OpusClip project"
- "Generate thumbnail options and social copy for this clip"
- "Schedule my best clip to post tomorrow morning"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http opusclip https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp
```

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **opusclip** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the OpusClip sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **OpusClip** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when OpusClip asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=OpusClip&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.opus.pro%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when OpusClip asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to OpusClip to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=opusclip&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5vcHVzLnByby9tY3AifQ%3D%3D>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

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

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=opusclip&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.opus.pro%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"opusclip","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "opusclip": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

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

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add opusclip --url https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp
codex mcp login opusclip
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.opusclip]
url = "https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http opusclip https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth opusclip` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

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

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp`.
