## About

# OpenClip Agent Skill

Video editing from your AI assistant. [OpenClip](https://openclip.app) turns long videos into short, captioned viral clips, and this skill teaches any SKILL.md-compatible agent (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenClaw, and friends) to drive it over MCP.

## What your agent can do with it

- Turn a podcast, webinar, or any long video URL into ranked, captioned vertical clips
- Transcribe, trim, crop, resize, compress, convert, and mute videos (free tools, no subscription)
- Extract thumbnails, edit images, remove image backgrounds (also free)
- Generate short vertical UGC-style clips from a creative brief
- Pull time-coded transcripts and standardize output with reusable presets

Behind the skill is the OpenClip MCP server: 28 tools, one public URL, OAuth 2.1 sign-in, no API key. Listed in the [official MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/v0/servers?search=openclip) as `app.openclip/openclip`.

## Install the skill

```bash
# skills.sh CLI (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenClaw, ...)
npx skills add Oak-Ridge-Ventures/openclip-skill

# or copy skills/openclip/ into your agent's skills directory, e.g.
#   ~/.claude/skills/openclip/
```

Or download the zip straight from the product: https://openclip.app/mcp/skill

## Connect the MCP server (once)

The server URL is the same for everyone: `https://openclip.app/mcp`. Sign in with your OpenClip account when the OAuth prompt appears.

- **Claude (web/Desktop)**: Settings, Connectors, "Add custom connector", paste the URL, sign in.
- **Claude Code**: `claude mcp add --transport http openclip https://openclip.app/mcp` then `/mcp`.
- **Cursor** (`~/.cursor/mcp.json` or `.cursor/mcp.json`):

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "openclip": { "url": "https://openclip.app/mcp" }
    }
}
```

- **ChatGPT**: Settings, Apps & Connectors, Advanced, enable Developer mode, Create, paste the URL, choose OAuth (paid plans).
- **Perplexity**: Settings, Connectors, "+ Custom connector", Remote, paste the URL, OAuth (Pro and up).
- **Header-only agents**: mint a personal access token in OpenClip and use `https://openclip.app/mcp/key` with an `Authorization: Bearer ` header.
