InstantClips MCP server

InstantClips MCP

English · Español · 简体中文

InstantClips turns an e-commerce product into short-form vertical video for TikTok, Instagram Reels and Stories. It runs a hosted MCP server, so Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, the Claude app, ChatGPT or any other MCP client can do what the web app does: import a product, draft the plan, and generate the video.

This is not a text-to-video generator. InstantClips reads the product page — photos, price, details — and builds the ad from what is actually there. The plan is written first and shown to you; the video follows the plan. That is why it is cheap enough to run across a catalogue, and why the result is the product you sell rather than a guess at it.

Free to start: the welcome credits cover the first video, and there is no card to enter. After that, one-time credit packs, or an Agency membership for anyone running several brands. See pricing.

The product server stays hosted. This repository contains its connection guide, registry metadata, example HTTP client and a small open-source stdio adapter for clients that cannot connect to a remote server directly. The adapter answers initialization, ping and tool discovery from a generated snapshot, then sends authenticated tool calls to the hosted endpoint. The hosted server remains the source of truth; the product implementation is not duplicated here.

Endpoint

Paste one address into your assistant and sign in when it asks. That is the whole setup. The first time it calls, the server sends you to sign in to InstantClips and approve the assistant; there are no keys to copy. Every assistant you approve is listed under Authorized apps in settings, where you can disconnect it.

The connection is to your own account: same brands, products, credits and plan limits as the web app. Signing in creates an account if you do not have one, with credits for the first video.

Opening the endpoint in a browser returns the setup page rather than a protocol error, with one-click install buttons for Cursor and VS Code.

Install

Connect to the hosted endpoint directly whenever your client supports Streamable HTTP; it takes you through sign-in on first use. Use a token and the stdio adapter (under "No browser?" below) only for scripts and automated runners that cannot open a sign-in page.
