How do I connect Clipy MCP Server to Claude?

Run `claude mcp add clipy-mcp -- npx -y @clipy/mcp` in Claude Code, or add the same command and arguments under mcpServers in Cursor's mcp.json or Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json, then restart the client. The blocks above are ready to paste.

Is Clipy MCP Server free?

The listed licence is MIT. Check the upstream terms for permitted use and commercial requirements; a public repository does not by itself mean the software is free or open source. Connected APIs and hosted services may have separate charges.

What can Clipy MCP Server do?

Clipy MCP Server documents 23 tools to the agent, including abort_recording, add_chapter, add_marker. The descriptions above come from project documentation. A live handshake does not test individual tool behavior.

Clipy MCP

Unclaimed

by manovagyanik1

Clipy is the first agent-readable screen recorder — free, no watermark, for Mac, Chrome, and the web. One share link: humans watch the video, AI agents read the summary, key moments, and transcript.

02 / Before you connect

Authentication is not specified. Check the project instructions before connecting.

Install the runtime required by the project and make it available to your client.

Project instructionsEnvironment variable names (optional)

Use names from the project instructions, separated by commas. Enter names only, never secret values.

Run in your terminal after replacing any placeholders.

04 / Check it in your client

Open your client’s MCP settings and confirm the server connects and lists its tools. A copied configuration does not confirm a working connection.

23 of 23 tools

Documented tools (23)

From project documentation. A server handshake does not verify each tool’s description or behavior.

abort_recording

Discard the active session; nothing is uploaded.

add_chapter

Drop a === CHAPTER: <label> === boundary into the active session — split a recording into named sections (ideal for before/after demos).

add_marker

Drop a narration marker into the active session (live clock, or backdate with atSeconds) — markers become the recording's transcript chapters. Can carry evidence in one of two provenances: clipy-verified (assertSelector / assertText / assertUrl) where Clipy checks the page itself, or driver-attested

clipy-verified

assertSelector / assertText / assertUrl

download_recording

Download the MP4 locally so you can clip it or extract frames yourself (e.g. with ffmpeg).

driver-attested

observed + verdict (both required)

get_agent_context

The full agent-context bundle (summary + key moments + transcript + available browser diagnostics) as markdown.

get_browser_diagnostics

Privacy-redacted visited routes, console warnings/errors, page exceptions, and failed fetch/XHR metadata. The evidence is explicitly labelled page-reported; headers, bodies, cookies, tokens, typed values, and raw query values are never captured.

get_context_document

One context document's metadata: source, duration, tags, the server's classification (video type, whether visual evidence is needed, planned moments), and which transcript/frames exist. Not the transcript itself.

get_key_moments

Key moments: timestamps, captions, and click coordinates.

get_recording

Metadata for one recording (status, duration, transcript/summary status).

get_summary

The AI summary: TL;DR, key points, action items.

get_transcript

The full timestamped transcript + plaintext.

list_context_documents

List the user's context documents — YouTube videos and local video files they imported with clipy context import, so agents can read them. A separate library from their own screen recordings.

list_recordings

List your most recent recordings.

read_context_document

Read a context document as compiled markdown — header, metadata, then the timestamped transcript with frame captions interleaved. Takes startMs/endMs so you can walk a two-hour video section by section instead of flooding your context.

record

Record a web app headlessly and upload it as a Clipy recording; returns its share + agent-context URLs. Accepts a type (recording kind), viewports (sweep several screen sizes into one video), storageState / userDataDir+profileDirectory / initScript (record behind a login), and timestamped notes that

replace_transcript

Replace a recording's transcript with text you author (needs the ingest scope). Call gettranscript first and pass its revision; stale replacements are rejected instead of overwriting a concurrent edit. The summary regenerates automatically. Marked as agent-edited, never passed off as speech-to-text.

search_memory

Search the whole Clipy memory at once — every screen recording the user made and every video they imported — returning the matching moments with timestamps and a URL that opens at that point. Matching is semantic as well as literal, so "login flow" finds a moment where someone said "the authenticati

search_recordings

Search your recordings by keyword (title + description).

start_recording

Start a recording session that keeps recording while you work (drive the page with your own browser tools, run commands, …). Accepts type, storageState / userDataDir+profileDirectory / initScript, and exposeCdp (get a CDP endpoint + in-page window.clipyMark/window.clipyChapter bridge to drive the re

stop_recording

Finish the session: close the browser, upload, return the share + agent-context URLs.

wait_for_artifacts

Poll until a recording's transcript/summary finish processing.
