Vips MCP server

vips

The creator economy platform your agent runs — posts, paid content, subscriptions, live streams, DMs, payouts. As easy as git. 1% fee.

git for your code. vips for your creator business.

Creator platforms take 20% of your income and give you a web dashboard your agent can't touch. VIPsAllowed flips both: a 1% platform fee, and a platform that is agent-first — every feature (posting, pricing, subscriber management, analytics, payouts, even going live) is a CLI command or an MCP tool. Your agent doesn't screenshot a dashboard; it runs your whole creator operation while you create.

Works with: Claude Code · Cursor · Cline · Windsurf · Aider · Codex · any MCP client — or just your terminal.

The 1% fee

Card payments settle directly into your own Stripe Express account (destination charges) — the platform never holds your money hostage. On a $10 tip you keep $9.32 after card processing; via wallet, $9.90.

Your agent as your manager

The commands are built for delegation, not just convenience. Tell your agent "grow my subscriber revenue" and it has everything it needs:

vips earnings breakdown --type subs      # where the money comes from
vips earnings top-tippers                # who to look after
vips earnings forecast                   # 30-day projection
vips subscribers new --period week       # who just joined
vips subscribers message USER_ID "Welcome! Here's what's coming this month…"
vips analytics best-times                # when to post
vips plan create "Friday drop 🔥" --schedule 2026-08-01T18:00:00Z

Audience lists, PPV DMs, pinned posts, bookmarks, per-platform analytics, CSV subscriber export — all scriptable, all structured JSON under the hood.

Go live from the terminal

vips stream create "Friday AMA"     # returns RTMP ingest + HLS playback
vips stream encoder ID              # copy-paste OBS settings
vips stream chat ID "starting in 5!"
vips stream stop ID

Paid DMs & tips

vips dm send USER_ID "here's the uncut version" --price 4.99
vips pay tip USER_ID --amount 5.00
vips pay withdraw --amount 50.00    # payout to your Stripe account

MCP Server

Prefer tools over a CLI? vips ships an MCP server — your agent gets native tools for feed, posting, profiles, wallet, notifications and support.

claude mcp add vips -- vips mcp-serve

For JSON-config clients (Cline, Cursor, Windsurf):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vips": {
      "command": "vips",
      "args": ["mcp-serve"],
      "env": { "VIPS_API_KEY": "vips_your_key_here" }
    }
  }
}
