What the publisher says
From the Clipmaster repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
clipmaster-mcp
mcp-name: io.github.n0Sp00n/clipmaster-mcp
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for ClipMaster — AI video clipping at clipmaster.app. It exposes the ClipMaster public API as tools, so Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any MCP client can ingest videos, monitor processing, browse clips, trigger exports, and schedule posts.
the user's API key — no database access, no internal services.
- Talks ONLY to the public REST API (https://api.clipmaster.app/api/v1) with
call is impractical). Account management (keys, billing, OAuth connects) is excluded; the API rejects those routes for key auth anyway.
- Ingestion is URL-only by design (streaming a local file through an LLM tool
Requirements
- Python 3.10+
- A ClipMaster API key (paid plans): web app → Settings → API access
Install
From this repo checkout:
pipx install ./clipmaster-mcp
# or, without installing:
uvx --from ./clipmaster-mcp clipmaster-mcpConfigure
*Instead of the env var you can put the key in ~/.config/clipmaster/key — this keeps it out of client config files and shell history:
mkdir -p ~/.config/clipmaster && printf '%s' 'cm_live_...' > ~/.config/clipmaster/key && chmod 600 ~/.config/clipmaster/keyThe env var wins when both are set.
