opusclip-mcp

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):

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

Both launchers proxy stdio to the hosted endpoint via 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.
