What data it sees

Do you need an account

No: the server works without sign-in

Turn a public video link into a timestamped transcript, topic chapters and clip suggestions. Works with YouTube (videos, shorts, live replays), Twitch VODs, Kick VODs and TikTok, including platforms that block datacenter IPs.

Tools: get_transcript (timestamped / text / srt / segments), get_chapters, suggest_clips (with editorial instructions).

Async by design: a call waits up to wait_seconds; if the video is still downloading or transcribing it returns status: processing. Call again with the same url, nothing is charged twice. Results cached 24 h.

Pricing: free tier without a key (3 videos per day, up to 15 min each). Minute packs at clipcliper.com/mcp: 600 min for USD 9, 3,000 min for USD 29, 12,000 min for USD 79 (one-time, minutes never expire). Every video costs one pack minute per started minute; chapters and clip suggestions on a transcribed video are free. Paste the key as licenseKey when connecting here.

Privacy: the video file is deleted as soon as the transcript exists; the transcript expires after 24 h. No accounts, no cookies.

REST alternative: POST https://clipcliper.com/api/link/transcribe with {"url": "..."}. Source of the stdio bridge: github.com/Inmoprice/clipcliper-mcp.
