# Clueso MCP

> Hosted OAuth MCP that builds and edits a real, re-openable timeline by conversation.

- **Category:** Editing & Post
- **Vendor:** Clueso (official)
- **Pricing:** freemium
- **Verified:** 2026-10-12

## What it does

Clueso's official remote MCP hands an agent a project-clip-element timeline it can actually restructure: create a project, add and split clips, place and reorder overlay elements, batch a voiceover, sync narration to picture, then estimate duration and export. The reason it is listed here is the round-trip — every result stays an editable Clueso project a human can open and finish, rather than a rendered MP4 an agent cannot revise. It also records screen captures and writes companion articles from the same source.

## Connect

- Remote endpoint: `https://connect.clueso.io/mcp`
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http Clueso https://connect.clueso.io/mcp`

**Auth:** oauth — Browser OAuth against a Clueso account (free or paid) at https://www.clueso.io — no API key or header to manage

## Field notes

Know what you are pointing at: Clueso is a product-marketing video tool — walkthroughs, release notes, onboarding, support explainers — and its templates, brand kit and stock library are built for SaaS, not for narrative work. There is no generative video model here and no NLE handoff; you get Clueso's own timeline, its voices, and an export. Take it for agent-driven assembly and voiceover of screen-sourced material, not for anything you would shoot. Plan limits are contradictory at the source: the setup page says the MCP is on all plans but that video export and advanced branding need a paid plan and `record_screen` a specific one, while the pricing page still shows a watermarked free tier with 10 minutes of export a month (its FAQ says 15). Solo is $40/mo billed yearly, Business $120/mo; the Solo and Business export allowances also differ between the plan cards and the comparison table. Assume export costs money until you have done one. Re-checked 12 Oct 2026 against the vendor's own setup page: same endpoint and Claude Code command, browser sign-in, 40 tools across projects, clips, elements, voiceover, sync, articles, recording and export. Cursor and VS Code connect through mcp-remote, which needs Node 22.16+. The registry listing is unchanged, published to the official MCP Registry as io.clueso/video (v1.0.2, 19 Aug 2026) by DNS-authenticated publish from clueso.io. The GitHub repo (MIT, pushed 21 Aug 2026) is a listing anchor and server.json, not the server source — the implementation is closed and hosted, so there is no self-host path and no way to audit what the tools do.
