Official registry Media and design

Generate video and images, edit them on a real multi-track timeline, and export an MP4.

Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Clipwave for Claude

Give Claude a real video editor. Generate shots, cut them on a multi-track timeline, burn in captions, and export an MP4 — without leaving the chat.

Most media integrations stop at "here is a generated clip." Clipwave keeps going: projects, a shared asset library, per-video timelines with video/voice/sfx/music tracks, trims, transitions, subtitles, and a real export.

/plugin marketplace add ClipWave-io/clipwave-plugins
/plugin install clipwave@clipwave

Then run /mcp, pick clipwave, and authenticate. That is the whole setup — the server speaks OAuth 2.0 with dynamic client registration, so there is no key to copy or config file to hand-edit.

Focused apps

Three single-purpose plugins from ManyMotions (the platform formerly known as Clipwave), each connected to its own hosted MCP server with an interactive panel in Claude:

What you get

2 skillsvideo-generation (model choice, submit, poll) and video-editing (timeline, captions, export)
2 commands/clipwave-video to generate a shot, /clipwave-edit to work a timeline

1 setup skillWalks Claude through connecting, including the headless API-key path

Example

Generate three 5-second shots of a ceramic mug on a windowsill — wide, then a slow push-in, then a top-down. Cut them together with 0.4s fades, add the voiceover from vo.mp3, subtitle it TikTok-style, and export vertical.

Claude reads the model catalogue, picks the right text-to-video id, submits and polls three jobs, creates a project, places six clips across two tracks, sets the transitions, burns the captions, and hands back an MP4 URL.

Requirements

A Clipwave account. Generation spends credits; every read-only tool (list_models, job_status, and the get_* / list_* family) is free, and so are the deterministic timeline operations — placing, removing, reordering, transitions and captions.

Headless use

For CI or server agents with no browser, create a key at clipwave.io/dashboard/api-keys and send Authorization: Bearer cw_live_…. There is also a stdio package, @clipwave/mcp, for clients that cannot reach a remote server.

Also works with

Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client — the server is plain streamable HTTP at https://clipwave.io/api/mcp. See clipwave.io/mcp for the full tool catalogue.
