> Model Context Protocol server for [Clipwise](https://tryclipwise.com) — AI platform for short-form video creators.
Lets Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant call Clipwise tools natively. Covers TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels.
## Tools
| Tool | Description | Auth |
|------|-------------|------|
| `clipwise_get_info` | Service overview, features, pricing, supported platforms | None |
| `clipwise_get_use_cases` | Concrete problem→solution scenarios for creators and agencies | None |
| `clipwise_search_trends` | Search viral TikTok videos by keyword in any country | API key |
## Quick Start
### Claude Desktop
Edit `~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS/Linux) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"clipwise": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "clipwise-mcp-server"]
}
}
}
```
For trend search, add your API key:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"clipwise": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "clipwise-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"CLIPWISE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
```
Get your API key at [tryclipwise.com/en/dashboard/account](https://tryclipwise.com/en/dashboard/account) (free plan available).
Restart Claude Desktop after editing the config.
### Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Code
Same JSON, different config location — see your IDE's MCP setup docs.
## Usage Examples
Once installed, you can ask Claude:
- **"What is Clipwise?"** → calls `clipwise_get_info`
- **"My TikTok videos get low views, what can I do?"** → calls `clipwise_get_use_cases` with `scenario: "low-views"`
- **"Find trending fitness videos on TikTok in the US"** → calls `clipwise_search_trends`
- **"What tools exist for analyzing Instagram Reels?"** → calls `clipwise_get_info` with `topic: "features"`
## What is Clipwise?
Clipwise is an AI platform for content creators, social media marketers, and agencies who work with short-form video.
**Core features:**
- 🎬 Pre-publish video analysis — Hook/Pace/CTA/Quality scores with timestamped fixes
- 🔥 Trend research across 20+ countries
- ✂️ Viral moments extractor for long-form video
- 🕵️ Competitor analysis on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram
- 🤖 AI Marketer with persistent brand memory

Unlike basic AI wrappers, Clipwise uses a **knowledge-base architecture** — 35+ curated playbooks (hook psychology, script structures, platform benchmarks, copywriting formulas, humanizer rules) are injected into every AI call. Scripts pass through an AI-writing detection layer so output sounds human, not like ChatGPT.
**Pricing:** Free (200 tokens/mo) · Pro $24/mo · Agency $73/mo
