Lumiclip
Turn long YouTube videos into short-form clips from Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-capable assistant using Lumiclip’s API.
Overview
io.github.lumiclip/lumiclip is a Grow-phase MCP server that turns YouTube videos into short-form clips from any MCP-enabled AI assistant via Lumiclip.
What is this MCP server?
- MCP bridge to Lumiclip for YouTube-to-short-form clip generation
- Works from any AI assistant that supports MCP stdio servers
- Requires LUMICLIP_API_KEY from app.lumiclip.ai/developers
- npm package @lumiclip/mcp-server at schema version 3.0.0
- Focused workflow: source URL in chat, clips out via hosted service
- Lumiclip MCP server schema version 3.0.0
- npm identifier @lumiclip/mcp-server with stdio transport
- Required secret env LUMICLIP_API_KEY per server schema
What problem does it solve?
You have long YouTube content but no fast way to produce platform-ready shorts without context-switching out of your AI coding workflow.
Who is it for?
Indie creators and solo founders who already record or syndicate YouTube and want agents in Claude Code or Cursor to trigger clip creation.
Skip if: Builders who need on-device video editing, non-YouTube sources only, or growth work that is purely SEO without video repurposing.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After adding LUMICLIP_API_KEY and the MCP server, your assistant can request Lumiclip clip generation from YouTube inputs inside the chat.
- Short-form clip outputs generated via Lumiclip from agent-initiated requests
- Agent-driven workflow linking research, scripting, and clip creation in one thread
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Repurposing long video into shorts supports the Grow phase when you are compounding reach on social platforms without hiring an editor for every upload. Content is the canonical shelf because the server’s sole job is producing clip-ready outputs from YouTube sources, not building the player app or ad analytics stack.
How it compares
Hosted clip-generation MCP bridge, not a general video editor skill or analytics dashboard.
