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).

PYPI package clipmaster-mcp
Claude Code 
claude mcp add clipmaster-mcp -e 'CLIPMASTER_API_KEY=<your clipmaster_api_key>' -- uvx clipmaster-mcp==0.1.1
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "clipmaster-mcp": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "clipmaster-mcp==0.1.1"
            ],
            "env": {

            }
        }
    }
}

Environment variables

  • CLIPMASTER_API_KEY required secret ClipMaster API key (cm_live_...), created in the ClipMaster app under Settings -> API access. Available on paid plans.

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.

  • Talks ONLY to the public REST API (https://api.clipmaster.app/api/v1) with the user's API key — no database access, no internal services.
  • Ingestion is URL-only by design (streaming a local file through an LLM tool call is impractical). Account management (keys, billing, OAuth connects) is excluded; the API rejects those routes for key auth anyway.

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-mcp

Configure

Env varRequiredMeaning
CLIPMASTER_API_KEYyes*Your cm_live_… API key
CLIPMASTER_API_BASEnoOverride the API base URL (default https://api.clipmaster.app/api/v1)

*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/key

The env var wins when both are set.

Claude Code
claude mcp add clipmaster -e CLIPMASTER_API_KEY=cm_live_... -- clipmaster-mcp
Claude Desktop

claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipmaster": {
      "command": "clipmaster-mcp",
      "env": { "CLIPMASTER_API_KEY": "cm_live_..." }
    }
  }
}
