Clipform MCP server

• clipform_add_nodeFree

  Add a new node to an existing form. Inserted before the end screen by default; after_node_id controls insertion position. Inserting into a linear flow automatically re-links the chain (the node before the insertion point points to the new node, which points to what followed) - you do not need clipform_set_logic for a simple insert. Branching still needs an explicit logic write. Node types and config schemas match clipform_create_form.

• clipform_attach_node_mediaFree

  Attach an existing workspace media asset (from clipform_upload_media_asset) to one or more nodes (max 10). Pass one item or many; multiple items attach sequentially. Only works on node types that support media (choice, open, scale, draw, binary, button). A media asset is reusable - attach the same media_asset_id to several nodes.

• clipform_check_renderFree

  Check the status of render jobs started by clipform_generate_video, clipform_render_video_template, or clipform_render_composition. Pass job_ids to check a whole batch in ONE call - one line of status per job. Pass job_id for a single job. Returns the output URL for each completed render. Typical render time: 10-60 seconds. Attach is automatic when node_id was provided to the render tool - no need to poll to completion, and the attach outcome is reported here once known.

• clipform_complete_media_uploadwrite actionFree

  Confirm a signed-PUT still image upload finished, after PUTting the bytes to the upload_url returned by clipform_upload_media_asset. The API verifies the object actually landed in storage before flipping the asset from processing to ready - call this right after the PUT succeeds, or the asset stays invisible in the library. Not needed for video uploads (TUS/Mux settle automatically).

• clipform_create_formwrite actionFree

  Create a new Clipform (interactive video-style form). Returns a viewer URL and form ID. When connected via an authenticated MCP client (e.g. claude.ai), the form lands directly in the user's workspace. Anonymous sessions get a claim URL to transfer ownership later. If the user hasn't said what to build yet, offer to build their first form and suggest starting points: lead-gen, feedback, quiz, or something else. Node types (omit config to use defaults where shown): - choice: Single or multiple choice node with predefined options (supports options array). Config: choice ({enable_branching, show_answer_feedback, record_scores}), selection_mode ("single"|"multiple", default: "single"), allow_text_response (boolean, default: false), randomise_options (boolean, default: false), show_option_count (boolean, default: false), option_display ("list"|"letters", default: "list"). Defaults: {"selection_mode":"single","choice":{"enable_branching":false},"randomise_options":false,"show_option_count":false,"option_display":"list"} - open: Free-form text responses from users. Config: formats (array of {format, order}), max_recording_seconds (number, default: 120). Defaults: {"formats":[{"order":0,"format":"text"},{"order":1,"format":"audio"},{"order":2,"format":"video"}]} - details: Collect several fields on one screen - name, email, phone, address, date, and more. Config: title (string), fields (array of {id, type, label, order, required, is_custom}), description (string), consent_items (array of {id, name, label, order, type, document, require_scroll_to_accept}), Available field IDs: first_name, last_name, email, phone. Defaults: {"fields":[{"id":"first_name","type":"first_name","label":"First Name","enabled":true,"required":true},{"id":"email","type":"email","label":"Email","enabled":true,"required":true}],"consent_items":[]} - payment: Collect a payment from respondents inline, charged to a connected Stripe account. Config: amount (number), currency ("usd"|"eur"|"gbp"|"cad"|"aud", default: "usd"), provider ("stripe"|"paddle", default: "stripe"), workspace_integration_id (string), title (string), description (string). Defaults: {"amount":null,"currency":"usd","provider":"stripe"} - button: Simple button for acknowledgment or navigation (supports options array). Config: button_text (string, default: "Continue"), button_style ("primary"|"secondary"|"outline", default: "primary") - redirect: Redirect users to an external URL. Config: url (string), auto_redirect (boolean, default: true). Defaults: {"url":"","auto_redirect":true} - file_download: Provide a file for respondents to download. Config: files (array of {file_name, display_name, file_path, file_size, mime_type}), button_text (string, default: "Continue"), description (string) - end_screen: Final screen shown when form is completed. Config: title (string, default: "Thank you!"), message (string, default: "Your response has been submitted."), icon ("tick"|"trophy"|"star"|"crown"|"party"|"none", default: "tick"), show_share_button (boolean, default: false), cta_type ("none"|"restart"|"external_link", default: "none"), cta_text (string, default: "Continue"), cta_url (string). Defaults: {"title":"Thank you!","message":"Your response has been submitted."} All type definitions and config schemas are derived from @vid-master/config (node-types). Refer to the config descriptions above for the correct keys and shapes. AI-PROTECTED parameters have restrictions noted in their descriptions. Example: A form that asks a question, collects contact info, then finishes: { title: "Quick Survey", nodes: [ { type: "open", prompt: "What's your biggest challenge?" }, { type: "details", prompt: "Leave your details", config: { fields: [{ id: "first_name", required: true }, { id: "email", required: true }] } }, { type: "end_screen", prompt: "Thanks for your response!" } ] }

• clipform_delete_formwrite actionFree

  Move a form and all its nodes to the trash. It stops accepting responses immediately and can be restored later. Requires user confirmation before it runs.

• clipform_delete_nodewrite actionFree

  Delete a node from a form. The logic chain is automatically re-linked (the previous node will point to the next one). Cannot delete the start node or the last end screen. Requires user confirmation before it runs.

• clipform_delete_node_mediawrite actionFree

  Remove media from a node. Deletes the media record and cleans up external resources (Mux video asset, storage file). Requires user confirmation before it runs.

• clipform_fetch_boundaryFree

  Fetch a GeoJSON boundary polygon for a country, city, or region. Returns simplified GeoJSON ready to use as the 'boundary' prop in the Map composition. mainlandOnly excludes small islands and overseas territories (e.g. Corsica for France, Hawaii for USA).

• clipform_generate_ttsFree

  Generate narration audio from text with word-level captions. Use this for quiz question narration, survey introductions, form instructions, or any node that benefits from a human voice. Proactively suggest narration for quizzes and content-rich forms - it significantly improves engagement. Available voices: ryan (British male, clear), sonia (British female, warm), andrew (American male, smooth), ava (American female, vibrant), guy (American male, deep). Pick ONE voice that fits the topic - e.g. a London quiz gets ryan or sonia, a US sports quiz gets andrew or guy - and reuse that SAME voice for every item and every call across the whole form. Never mix voices within one form unless the user explicitly asks for multiple voices. Use the tone parameter to direct HOW the voice speaks. Always set a tone that matches the form's mood - e.g. quizzes: "Energetic and playful, like a quiz show host teasing the audience", surveys: "Professional but warm, encouraging honest answers", personality quizzes: "Curious and reflective". This dramatically improves the narration quality. Pass one item or many (max 10) - multiple items run in parallel. Returns audio_url and caption_ref per item - pass caption_ref downstream to clipform_render_composition / clipform_render_video_template / clipform_upload_media_asset to attach this run's word-level captions instead of hand-copying the captions array.

• clipform_generate_videoFree

  Generate a video from images, video clips, or both, synced to an audio track. Use this for narrated question backgrounds, topic visualisations, or any form node that benefits from video. Combine with clipform_generate_tts for narrated audio and clipform_search_media for royalty-free images. Creates 9:16 (720x1280) with Ken Burns pan/zoom effects and transitions. Returns a public URL when complete. Items: type "image" (Ken Burns motion) or "video" (cover-cropped, muted by default). Duration matches audio_url or set duration_seconds explicitly. For multi-question builds, pass wait: false on every render: each call returns a job ID immediately, so all renders run in parallel - then collect URLs with clipform_check_render. Sequential waiting renders take 15-120 seconds EACH. Choosing a render tool: for a recognisable form/quiz beat (guess-the-city, this-or-that, mystery reveal, multiple choice, photo montage...) reach for a video template first (clipform_list_video_templates + clipform_render_video_template) - it is a one-call recipe. Use clipform_generate_video for a narrated or audio-synced media montage (images/clips timed to a voice track). Use clipform_render_composition only when neither fits and you need a custom layer stack. Montage disambiguation: choose clipform_generate_video when the montage is narrated or synced to an audio track; choose the slideshow video template when it is silent (motion + transitions only, no voice-over). A render for a form node is not done until it is attached to that node. Pass node_id (and form_id) so the completed render attaches itself automatically - do not poll clipform_check_render to completion or manually chain clipform_upload_media_asset + clipform_attach_node_media; fire the render and move on.

• clipform_get_formFree

  Retrieve a form's details including all nodes in sequential order and their routing. Returns title, settings, and every node with its options, config, media status, and next node (from clipform_set_logic).

• clipform_get_guideFree

  Retrieve craft knowledge for building a specific form type. Returns question psychology, difficulty curves, narration style, scoring setup, and writing principles as markdown. Does NOT return a step-by-step build workflow - use clipform_get_workflow for that. Available types: quiz, survey, interview, funnel, testimonial, application, booking, intake, lead-capture. Aliases also accepted: trivia → quiz, test → quiz, exam → quiz, feedback → survey, poll → survey, nps → survey, questionnaire → survey, case-study → interview, callout → interview, lead-gen → funnel, qualification → funnel, lead-magnet → funnel, story → testimonial, review → testimonial, job-application → application, admission → application, enrollment → application, grant → application, registration → booking, signup → booking, event → booking, rsvp → booking, workshop → booking, client-intake → intake, onboarding → intake, enquiry → intake, inquiry → intake, new-client → intake, lead → lead-capture, lead-form → lead-capture, enquiry-form → lead-capture, waitlist → lead-capture, get-a-quote → lead-capture. Quiz variants (optional): personality, comprehension, composition - appends variant-specific addendum to the base quiz guide.

• clipform_get_node_mediaFree

  Get the media attached to a node, including processing status. Useful for checking if a video upload has finished processing.

• clipform_get_responsesFree

  List a Clipform form's individual responses (submissions) with time filtering - complements clipform_get_results (aggregates). Answers questions like 'what came in during the last 24 hours', 'what's the longest answer', 'what did people say'. Text answers plus a non-PII payment summary (amount and status); contact details, file uploads, and audio/video answers are redacted to placeholders and the customer's payment details stay in the dashboard (the responses URL from clipform_get_form). Responses are sorted newest first unless sort: 'oldest'.

• clipform_get_resultsFree

  View response counts, choice/action answer breakdowns, and recent open-text answers for a form. Contact, file, draw, camera, and payment answers are counts only - use the dashboard for per-response detail.

• clipform_get_workflowFree

  Retrieve a step-by-step build workflow for creating a specific form type. Returns the exact tool sequence, form settings, node configuration, scoring setup, and end screen config as a build recipe. Does NOT return craft knowledge (question psychology, difficulty curves, narration style) - use clipform_get_guide for that. Available types: quiz, survey, interview, testimonial, application, booking, intake, lead-capture. Aliases also accepted: trivia → quiz, test → quiz, exam → quiz, feedback → survey, poll → survey, nps → survey, questionnaire → survey, case-study → interview, callout → interview, lead-gen → funnel, qualification → funnel, lead-magnet → funnel, story → testimonial, review → testimonial, job-application → application, admission → application, enrollment → application, grant → application, registration → booking, signup → booking, event → booking, rsvp → booking, workshop → booking, client-intake → intake, onboarding → intake, enquiry → intake, inquiry → intake, new-client → intake, lead → lead-capture, lead-form → lead-capture, enquiry-form → lead-capture, waitlist → lead-capture, get-a-quote → lead-capture. Quiz variants (optional): personality, comprehension, composition - returns the variant-specific workflow instead of the base quiz workflow. Optional args by type: - quiz: topic, question_count (8) - quiz (variant: personality): topic, categories, question_count (8) - quiz (variant: comprehension): youtube_url, question_count (8), audience - interview: purpose, response_format (all), needs_consent (true) - survey: topic, anonymous (true) - funnel: outcomes, criteria, needs_contact (true) - testimonial: use_case - application: role - booking: event_name, event_type - intake: use_case, response_format (all) - lead-capture: use_case

• clipform_import_formFree

  Convert a public Google Form, Typeform, or Tally form into a new Clipform. Supported URLs: Google Forms (docs.google.com or forms.gle - must be shared as "Anyone with the link"), Typeform (form.typeform.com/to/...), and Tally (tally.so - must be public). The source form must be publicly accessible; a private form's questions cannot be read. The new Clipform is created as a DRAFT - review it, then republish with clipform_update_form (is_live: true) once it's ready. Some question types don't map cleanly to a Clipform node and are skipped rather than guessed at; the result always reports exactly what was imported vs skipped, and why.

• clipform_list_assetsFree

  List available creative assets (sound effects, animations, fonts) for video compositions.

• clipform_list_compositionsFree

  Browse available video compositions and their expected props schemas. Call this before using clipform_render_composition to discover visual styles and their input props. For an image or photo montage, reach for a video template (clipform_list_video_templates + clipform_render_video_template) or clipform_generate_video instead of a composition.

• clipform_list_formsFree

  List forms in your workspace with optional filtering. Returns paginated results (cursor-based). next_cursor is included when more results exist. To find or open a form by name, pass search with part of its title instead of paging through results.

• clipform_list_video_templatesFree

  Browse available video templates - curated Scene arrangements (bed + overlay + sane defaults) that render through the Scene composition from a small controls object. Call this before clipform_render_video_template to see template names and their exposed controls. For a fully custom layer stack, assemble Scene layers directly via clipform_render_composition instead.

• clipform_log_generationFree

  Internal audit step run by a form-generation workflow. Records a completed generation's content provenance (sources, image attributions) for the flow that just built the form. Not a user action - only call it as the final step of a generation workflow you are running, never in response to a plain create or edit request.

• clipform_render_compositionFree

  Render a specialised video composition to MP4 or PNG - custom animated visuals that clipform_generate_video can't provide, such as geography animations or designed motion graphics. Available composition names and their required input props schemas come from clipform_list_compositions. Output formats: mp4 (H.264, best for social media) or png (single frame). Returns a public URL when complete. For multi-render builds (e.g. one clip per quiz question), pass everything in ONE call via items (max 10): all renders fire in parallel and you get one job ID each - then collect the URLs in a single clipform_check_render call with job_ids. Single render: pass compositionId/inputProps at the top level (wait: true blocks and returns the URL; wait: false returns a job ID). Choosing a render tool: for a recognisable form/quiz beat (guess-the-city, this-or-that, mystery reveal, multiple choice, photo montage...) reach for a video template first (clipform_list_video_templates + clipform_render_video_template) - it is a one-call recipe. Use clipform_generate_video for a narrated or audio-synced media montage (images/clips timed to a voice track). Use clipform_render_composition only when neither fits and you need a custom layer stack. A render for a form node is not done until it is attached to that node. Pass node_id (and form_id) so the completed render attaches itself automatically - do not poll clipform_check_render to completion or manually chain clipform_upload_media_asset + clipform_attach_node_media; fire the render and move on. In batch mode, set node_id per item (see items) and form_id once at the top level.

• clipform_render_video_templateFree

  Render a curated video template (a pre-arranged Scene: bed + overlay + sane defaults) to MP4 or PNG from a small controls object, instead of hand-assembling Scene layers. Call clipform_list_video_templates first for available template names and their controls. Renders through the Scene composition under the hood. Choosing a render tool: for a recognisable form/quiz beat (guess-the-city, this-or-that, mystery reveal, multiple choice, photo montage...) reach for a video template first (clipform_list_video_templates + clipform_render_video_template) - it is a one-call recipe. Use clipform_generate_video for a narrated or audio-synced media montage (images/clips timed to a voice track). Use clipform_render_composition only when neither fits and you need a custom layer stack. A render for a form node is not done until it is attached to that node. Pass node_id (and form_id) so the completed render attaches itself automatically - do not poll clipform_check_render to completion or manually chain clipform_upload_media_asset + clipform_attach_node_media; fire the render and move on.

• clipform_search_mediaFree

  Search images or stock video clips. Pass one query or many (max 10) - multiple queries run in one call instead of separate tool calls. Use results to feed into clipform_generate_video for narrated slideshow videos, or upload directly as still images via clipform_upload_media_asset then clipform_attach_node_media. All results are pre-cleared for commercial use. Results include a description (alt text where the provider has it) - use it to pick visually distinct images. Example: { queries: [{ query: "saturn rings" }, { query: "mars surface", count: 3 }] } returns portrait images for both.

• clipform_search_musicFree

  Search for royalty-free music tracks and ambient sounds. Quiz forms especially benefit from background music - it keeps energy up between questions. Also consider it for multi-step surveys and longer forms. Pass the returned URL as the audio track to clipform_generate_video, or as the audio for the slideshow video template via clipform_render_video_template. Returns download URLs, duration, artist, and license info.

• clipform_search_newsFree

  Fallback news lookup for clients without native web search. Returns structured current-news articles from NewsAPI and The Guardian. Coverage: recent events, people, and topics (post-May-2025). Does NOT cover timeless topics (history, geography, science). Narrower and less current than native web search tools (WebSearch, web fetch) when available. Returns: article title, source, author, date, URL, description, and image URL per result.

• clipform_set_logicFree

  Set the next node for one or more nodes, wiring a linear route (A to B to C). Pass multiple nodes in one call instead of separate tool calls. Each node routes to exactly one target node. Branching by which option a respondent picks is not configured here; it is set up in the form's Build tab in the dashboard (the builder URL returned by clipform_get_form / clipform_create_form). A call replaces that node's routing entirely - it does not merge with any prior target. Example: nodes: [ { node_id: "q1-id", rules: [{ target_node_id: "q2-id" }] }, { node_id: "q2-id", rules: [{ target_node_id: "q3-id" }] } ]

• clipform_update_formwrite actionFree

  Update a form's title, publish status, settings, or tags. Only sends fields that are provided - omitted fields remain unchanged. AI-PROTECTED parameters have restrictions noted in their descriptions.

• clipform_update_nodewrite actionFree

  Update one or more existing nodes' text, type, config, or options. Pass multiple updates in one call instead of separate tool calls. Requires node IDs (returned by clipform_create_form, clipform_add_node, or clipform_get_form). Does not change node positions in the flow. All type definitions and config schemas are derived from @vid-master/config (node-types).

• clipform_upload_media_assetwrite actionFree

  Put one or more media files into your workspace media library (max 10, uploaded sequentially). This is step one of attaching media to a node - follow up with clipform_attach_node_media to place the returned media_asset_id on a node. When a public URL is provided, the media is fetched and stored automatically. For video: ingested via Mux. For image: stored in Supabase. Word-level captions from clipform_generate_tts enable per-word highlighting in the viewer once attached - pass the caption_ref it returned instead of hand-copying the captions array.

• clipform_whoamiFree

  Show the current identity: auth mode (api key, oauth, session, or anonymous), active workspace, and plan limits.

• get_more_toolsFree

  Check for additional tools whenever your task might benefit from specialized capabilities - even if existing tools could work as a fallback.
