Clip MasterClipMaster

Use ClipMaster from Claude

Paste one URL into Claude and ask for what you want: import a video, find the clips worth posting, edit them, build a compilation, render and schedule — without opening the app.

Connector URL

https://api.clipmaster.app/mcp

Before you start

You need a ClipMaster account on a paid plan. Stay signed in to ClipMaster in this browser — Claude opens it to ask for your approval.

Add it to Claude

  1. In Claude on the web or desktop, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it ClipMaster and paste the connector URL.
  3. A ClipMaster tab opens. Sign in if it asks, then click Approve.
  4. Try it: ask Claude “What are my latest ClipMaster projects?”

Claude Code

Add it with one command, then run /mcp in Claude Code and pick ClipMaster to sign in.

claude mcp add --transport http clipmaster https://api.clipmaster.app/mcp

Add the ClipMaster skill to Claude

The skill teaches Claude how ClipMaster works: the usual workflows, and the rules that protect your tokens and your edits — check the balance before spending, ask before replacing or deleting anything, and read a clip's settings before changing them.

Download SKILL.md

Claude Code: save it to your skills folder with one command.

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/clipmaster && curl -o ~/.claude/skills/clipmaster/SKILL.md https://clipmaster.app/skills/clipmaster/SKILL.md

Claude.ai and Claude Desktop:

  1. Download SKILL.md with the link above.
  2. Put it in a folder named clipmaster and zip the folder.
  3. Open Settings → Capabilities → Skills and upload the zip.

ChatGPT and other apps

Any app that supports remote MCP connectors works the same way: add a custom connector with the URL above, then approve it in the tab that opens.

Ask for what you want

“Import this podcast episode and tell me when it's done: https://youtube.com/watch?v=…”

“Which of my clips has the strongest hook? Show me its transcript.”

“Edit clip 3 for me, speed up the slow intro, and add Spanish captions under the English ones.”

“Build a 45-second reel of my funniest moments, auto-edit it, and put a reaction meme after the best joke.”

“Render the top two clips and schedule them to my channel for tomorrow at 5 PM.”

“What's already scheduled to publish this week?”

Tools

Videos 11

Import from a YouTube link or a file on your computer, watch processing, list scenes and the timeline, read everything the analysis found in the whole video (transcript with speakers, laughter and applause, the moments it scored), transcribe the whole video again, delete a video.

Clips 27

Read what the analysis found in a clip — one timeline of cuts, faces, who speaks when, laughs, loud moments, beats and scored moments, on the clip's own clock — so edits land on the right second. Then change it: captions and their words, caption style, a second caption line in another language, crop and orientation, speed for the whole clip or parts of it, zooms, screen effects, GIFs, emojis, sounds, logo and progress bar. Stickers, emojis and zooms can follow a face. Auto-edit plans effects, stickers, sounds and speed changes in one go. Trim, rename, transcribe again, analyze the layout, measure the audio, ask for suggestions, render.

Compilations 35

Build one from clips or from a description. Let the AI cut it — Best-of, Countdown, Trailer, Loop, Tutorial, Q&A or a Montage from your own brief — re-cut one scene, undo, or reset to a plain cut. Edit the scenes: order, trims, speed, split screens, transitions and text. Auto-edit adds transitions, text cards, music, a progress bar, speed changes, zooms, screen effects on the music's beat, stickers, GIFs, emojis, sounds and reaction memes in one go, steered by your direction, and one undo takes them out. Read the edit's audio: its beat, loud hits and pauses. Add a reaction meme or your own image or video as a scene, or as proof beside a clip. Pick music, add a voiceover, export.

Posting 7

See connected channels, get a suggested title, description and hashtags, schedule, reschedule and cancel posts, disconnect a channel.

Stickers 6

Search and trending stickers, suggestions for a clip or a whole compilation, and removing them. They sit beside GIFs, up to 5 of each per clip.

Reaction clips 4

Short movie, TV and meme clips with their sound: search, trending, suggestions for a clip, and removing them. On a clip the video pauses while one plays full screen, then carries on; in a compilation one plays as a scene of its own.

Libraries 7

Caption styles, the sound effects library, GIF search and trending, and music search.

Account and uploads 5

Your token balance and usage, your default settings and brand logo. From Claude Code or Claude Desktop, uploads from your computer: a video, a logo, a voiceover, or an image or video to use as a scene.

102 tools, one for every action, so Claude can do what you'd do in the editor. In a web chat, uploads stay in the web app; so do billing, connecting a channel, watching a clip and picking a vertical layout for each shot.

Managing access

  • Every app you connect is listed in Settings → API access → Connected apps. Disconnect one and it loses access immediately.
  • A connected app stays signed in while you use it. If it goes unused for 30 days, it asks you to approve it again.
  • It can work with your projects, clips, compilations, exports and scheduling, spending the same tokens as the app, and check how many you have left. It can't see your payments, buy tokens, or change your plan or sign-in.

If something doesn't work

Claude says it can't connect

Check the URL is exactly https://api.clipmaster.app/mcp, then remove the connector and add it again.

The approval page asks me to upgrade

Connecting AI apps is a paid-plan feature, like API keys. Upgrade, then approve again from Claude.

It asks me to connect again

The app was disconnected in Settings or went unused for 30 days. Approve it again — it takes a few seconds.

"Not enough tokens"

Importing, exporting, uploading a video for a scene and adding a new caption language spend tokens exactly like the app. Ask Claude how many you have left, then top up or wait for your monthly allowance.

Prefer a local server?

The open-source clipmaster-mcp package runs on your machine with an API key from Settings → API access. It needs uv installed; add it to your app's MCP servers config:

{
"mcpServers": {
"clipmaster": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["clipmaster-mcp"],
"env": {
"CLIPMASTER_API_KEY": "cm_live_..."
}
}
}
}

Claude Desktop bundle (one-click install)clipmaster-mcp.mcpb

Notes

  • Everything is scoped to your account and metered by the same tokens as the app. Each connection is limited to 120 requests a minute.
  • Videos come in from a YouTube link or, from Claude Code or Claude Desktop, straight from your computer. Connecting a social channel happens once, in the web app — the connector can schedule to it but never performs the channel sign-in itself.
  • Scheduling is retry-safe: the same export + account + time returns the existing post instead of publishing twice.
  • Every tool uses the public REST API — full reference at clipmaster.app/docs/api.
