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 clipwright 'https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp'

"mcpServers": {
"clipwright": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp"

Clipwright clients
Open-source clients for Clipwright: an API that turns a script into a short video of an actor speaking it, or a script or a short brief into a faceless video without an on-camera presenter: narration over an opening animated clip and image scenes, ending with the narration (select 30–90 seconds; it runs 25 seconds or more and up to a quarter past the selection, never past 90). Your agent quotes the price for free, starts the render, and gets a video URL back. Clipwright returns the file; it does not publish anywhere.
| Package | What it is |
|---|---|
@clipwright/mcp-server | MCP server over stdio for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline and any other MCP host |
@clipwright/cli | command-line client (clipwright, clipwright-cli) |
@clipwright/sdk | TypeScript client |
@clipwright/core | shared request and response schemas (zod) |
Claude Code plugin
claude plugin marketplace add seocombat/clipwright-mcp
claude plugin install clipwright@clipwright
The plugin connects the hosted server at https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp and
adds a skill that tells the agent to quote before it spends credits. Run /mcp
in a session, choose clipwright and sign in with your Clipwright account: no
key goes into a config file. The same repository is a Cursor plugin
(.cursor-plugin/plugin.json, mcp.json).
n8n
n8n's built-in MCP Client node reaches the hosted server with a key; no community
node is needed. n8n/clipwright-ugc.json is a workflow
to import: it quotes a script, stops if the quote is above max_credits, starts
the render and polls get_run every 15 seconds until the run ends. The whole
workflow ran on n8n Cloud on 2026-10-20 and returned the MP4; n8n's OAuth
credential has not been tried with Clipwright yet. Setup:
packages/mcp-server/README.md.
MCP server in one line
claude mcp add clipwright -e CLIPWRIGHT_API_KEY=cw_... -- npx -y -p @clipwright/mcp-server clipwright-mcp
Put your own key from app.clipwright.io/api-keys
in place of cw_.... It needs Node.js 20 or newer. Other hosts, the tool list and
the environment variables: packages/mcp-server/README.md.
Quotes, voices, actors and the balance are free. Renders spend credits: an account opened by signing up starts with 420 trial credits, enough for one 90-second faceless video. Buy more at clipwright.io/pricing.
