README
OpusClip MCP
[](https://smithery.ai/servers/opusclip/opusclip) [](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:
{
"mcpServers": {
"opusclip": {
"url": "https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp"
}
}
}
For stdio-only clients, use the npm launcher instead:
{
"mcpServers": {
"opusclip": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@opusclip/mcp"]
}
}
}
Or the PyPI launcher, if you prefer Python tooling ([`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)):
{
"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 |
|---|---|
| Claude.ai / Claude Desktop | Settings → Connectors → add a custom connector with the URL above |
| Cursor | Settings → Tools & MCP → New MCP Server, or the one-click Add to Cursor button in our [docs](https://help.opus.pro/a |
