InstantClips turns an e-commerce product into short-form vertical
video for TikTok, Instagram Reels and Stories. It runs a hosted **MCP server**, so Claude Code,
Codex, Cursor, VS Code, the Claude app, ChatGPT or any other MCP client can do what the web app
does: import a product, draft the plan, and generate the video.
**This is not a text-to-video generator.** InstantClips reads the product page — photos, price,
details — and builds the ad from what is actually there. The plan is written first and shown to
you; the video follows the plan. That is why it is cheap enough to run across a catalogue, and why
the result is the product you sell rather than a guess at it.
Free to start: the welcome credits cover the first video, and there is no card to enter. After
that, one-time credit packs, or an Agency membership for anyone running several brands. See
pricing.
- **Where it fits.** Beside a scheduler (Postiz, Buffer) that posts what comes back. Beside an
attribution tool that tells you which hook worked. Instead of an editor when you have a product
page and no footage.
- **Not for.** Cinematic hero films. A presenter reading your script. Horizontal 4K. Products with
no page and no photos.
- **Built for.** Shopify sellers, dropshippers, brands and agencies running social for several
stores at once.
**The product server stays hosted.** This repository contains its connection guide, registry
metadata, example HTTP client and a small open-source stdio adapter for clients that cannot connect
to a remote server directly. The adapter answers initialization, ping and tool discovery from a
generated snapshot, then sends authenticated tool calls to the hosted endpoint. The hosted server
remains the source of truth; the product implementation is not duplicated here.
Endpoint
| | |
| ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Endpoint | https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP, stateless |
| Method | POST, JSON-RPC 2.0 |
| Auth | Sign in when your client asks (OAuth 2.1), or Authorization: Bearer for callers with no browser |
Paste one address into your assistant and sign in when it asks. That is the whole setup. The
first time it calls, the server sends you to sign in to InstantClips and approve the assistant;
there are no keys to copy. Every assistant you approve is listed under **Authorized apps** in
settings, where you can disconnect it.
The connection is to your own account: same brands, products, credits and plan limits as the web
app. Signing in creates an account if you do not have one, with credits for the first video.
Opening the endpoint in a browser returns the setup page
rather than a protocol error, with one-click install buttons for Cursor and VS Code.
Install
Connect to the hosted endpoint directly whenever your client supports Streamable HTTP; it takes
you through sign-in on first use. Use a token and the stdio adapter (under "No browser?" below)
only for scripts and automated runners that cannot open a sign-in page.
Claude Code
Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose instantclips to sign in. --scope user adds it to
every project; without it, Claude Code adds a server only to the folder you run the command in.
Codex
Add to ~/.codex/config.toml, which the Codex CLI, the Codex IDE extension and the ChatGPT desktop
app all read:
Then run codex mcp login instantclips to sign in.
Cursor and VS Code
One-click install buttons are on the setup page. They open
the app, add InstantClips, and sign you in on first use.
