Clipwave
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).
claude mcp add --transport http clipwave 'https://clipwave.io/api/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"clipwave": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://clipwave.io/api/mcp"

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:
| Plugin | What it does | Install |
|---|---|---|
| AI Logo Maker & Brand Designer | Logo concepts from a brand brief | /plugin install logo-maker@clipwave |
| AI Video & Image Generator by Clipwave | AI images and videos from a text prompt | /plugin install clipwave-video-image-maker@clipwave |
| AI UGC Video Ads Maker | Short UGC-style video ads from a product brief | /plugin install ugc-video-ads@clipwave |
What you get
| 2 skills | video-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 connector | The hosted Clipwave MCP server — ~20 tools |
| 1 setup skill | Walks 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.
