Summary
Connects Claude to the full CutPro API for AI-driven video clipping. You get 34 tools covering the entire workflow: analyze a long video, submit it for clipping, list the AI-generated clips sorted by rating, apply editing templates, render to MP4, and publish to TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube. Works over stdio for local clients and a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint with OAuth for ChatGPT and Claude.ai. Requires a CutPro Pro plan and API key. Token-efficient by design: list operations cap results and omit signed URLs unless requested. Reach for this when you want to automate virality from raw footage without leaving the LLM context.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that turns long videos into viral clips with AI. It exposes the full CutPro API as tools, so an LLM can run the whole flow: analyze a video, clip the best moments, render the final MP4, and publish to TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.
Key features
- End to end. All 34 v1 endpoints as tools: workspace, balance, videos, clipping, clips, templates, renders, posts and connections.
- Token efficient. Results are compact and projected to the fields that matter;
list_clipsis rating sorted, capped, and omits long signed URLs unless asked. - Runs everywhere. stdio for local clients (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, Zed) and a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint with OAuth for ChatGPT and Claude.ai.
Getting started
Requirements
- Node.js 18 or newer.
- A CutPro account on the Pro plan and an API key. Generate one at cut.pro/studio/me/api-keys.
- An MCP-compatible client.
Standard config
Most clients use the same JSON. Add your API key under env:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cutpro": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@cutpro/mcp"],
"env": { "CUTPRO_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>" }
}
}
}
Install
After installing via a button, add your CUTPRO_API_KEY to the server's env.
Claude Code
claude mcp add cutpro --env CUTPRO_API_KEY=<your-api-key> -- npx -y @cutpro/mcp
Claude Desktop
Add to claude_desktop_config.json (Settings, Developer, Edit Config):
{
"mcpServers": {
"cutpro": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@cutpro/mcp"],
"env": { "CUTPRO_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>" }
}
}
}
Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code (manual)
Add the standard config above to the client's MCP settings (mcp.json / mcpServers).
Cline
Open the MCP Servers panel, choose Configure, and add the standard config above.
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add cutpro npx -y @cutpro/mcp -e CUTPRO_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
Codex
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.cutpro]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@cutpro/mcp"]
env = { "CUTPRO_API_KEY" = "<your-api-key>" }
ChatGPT and Claude.ai (hosted, no install)
Use the hosted server. Add a custom connector pointing to:
https://mcp.cut.pro
You authorize with your CutPro API key on a consent page (OAuth), so no local setup is needed.
Configuration
The server is configured with environment variables.
| Variable | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
CUTPRO_API_KEY | Your CutPro API key (Pro plan). | Yes (stdio) |
CUTPRO_WORKSPACE_ID | Selects the workspace for multi-workspace keys. | No |
CUTPRO_API_URL | Override the API base URL. Defaults to https://api.cut.pro/api/v1. | No |
Self-hosting the remote (Streamable HTTP + OAuth)
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
MCP_TRANSPORT=http / PORT | Serve Streamable HTTP at the root instead of stdio. |
MCP_OAUTH=1 | Enable the full OAuth 2.1 layer (discovery, DCR, PKCE) for browser clients. |
MCP_PUBLIC_URL | Public endpoint, e.g. https://mcp.cut.pro. Its origin becomes the OAuth issuer. |
MCP_REDIS_URL | Back OAuth state with Redis so it survives restarts and scales across instances. |
MCP_TRANSPORT=http PORT=8787 MCP_OAUTH=1 \
MCP_PUBLIC_URL=https://mcp.cut.pro MCP_REDIS_URL=redis://127.0.0.1:6379 \
npx -y @cutpro/mcp
In OAuth mode the user authorizes with their own API key on a consent page; the access token maps server side to that key. Without MCP_REDIS_URL, an in-memory store is used (single instance, state lost on restart).
