OpusClip MCP

What it does

OpusClip's first-party hosted MCP gives an agent the whole repurposing chain: submit a file or URL, get back clips ranked by a virality score, pull the word-timed transcript, then fix a clip with named edit operations — section trims, splits, reorders, phrase cuts, filler and pause removal, caption styling, dubbing, undo. It can also report what is on screen across a source range: faces, positions, and whether the person on camera is the one speaking. From there it censors profanity, generates thumbnails and per-platform social copy, groups clips into collections, and schedules or posts them to connected accounts. For a film pipeline this is the tail end — the trailer cutdowns, the festival teasers, the vertical social pulls off a finished piece — not the edit itself. OpusClip's marketing page promises HD, 4K, or an Adobe Premiere XML project, but the MCP export tools document HD download URLs only.

Sample tools

Field notes

Official and hosted. The docs still say Pro-tier API access is in beta, and the editing surface has already changed underneath early adopters: editing scripts were retired, and `opusclip_get_editing_script` / `opusclip_apply_editing_script` remain only as no-op signposts that redirect to `opusclip_edit_clip`, now the only editing route. An agent holding a cached tool list from August will be calling dead names. The docs now count 27 workflow tools, including those two signposts, plus 2 thumbnail tools, while the marketing page still says 27. Trust live `tools/list` over any published count. Rechecked 27 Sep 2026: https://mcp.opus.pro/mcp still serves OAuth protected-resource metadata pointing at a WorkOS AuthKit authorization server. The docs also contradict the marketing page on export: the page advertises 4K and Premiere XML, but `opusclip_export_clip` and `opusclip_export_collection` are documented as HD download URLs only. Entitlement is not universal: the docs say Pro Beta and Max organizations get API access automatically and business customers run under their contract, so a free account may connect and find the write tools locked. Quotas are per workspace and real — 15h / 900 credits a month, a 10-credit floor charged per project regardless of length, and 4 concurrent projects, resetting on the 1st UTC. Fourteen of the tools are writes that spend credits and prompt for approval per call. The public repo is a thin 6-star wrapper (MIT, pushed 20 Sep 2026) under an org with a GitHub IP allow list, so you cannot browse its source anonymously; the docs are the real reference. Scored for short-form social, not for narrative: virality ranking and vertical reframe are the product's opinion, and it will impose it.
