Connect OpusClip to an AI agent and call the API from natural-language prompts such as “clip this video” or “schedule this clip to post tomorrow at 9am.” Pro-tier API access is in Beta. The limits described on Limitations apply to Pro Beta unless noted otherwise. Business customers have API access per their contract. OpusClip provides two integrations: MCP and Skill. You can use either, or both.

MCP

Endpoint:
https://api.opus.pro/api/mcp
Any OpusClip account can complete the OAuth flow and view the tool catalog. Calling a tool requires Pro Beta or Business plan access; without it, the host returns an upgrade prompt.Claude.ai — from the connector directory (coming soon)Once OpusClip is listed in the Claude.ai connector directory, open Settings → Connectors, find OpusClip, click Add, and complete the OAuth sign-in.
Directory listing is in progress. Until it is live, use the custom-connector steps below. The endpoint and behaviour are identical.
Claude.ai — as a custom connector
  • Open claude.ai/customize/connectors and click Add custom connector.
  • Paste the endpoint above, name the connector OpusClip, and click Connect.
  • Sign in with your OpusClip account in the OAuth window.
  • Start a new conversation and try List my recent OpusClip projects.
For users in more than one OpusClip org, the connector defaults to the first org with API access. To target a different org, ask the agent to list your orgs and select one; the choice applies to subsequent requests in the same conversation.Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP hostsConfigure the host with the endpoint above. Complete the OAuth flow when prompted.

Troubleshooting

Sign in with the same identity provider used to create the OpusClip account (email, Google, or Apple).
The org does not have the API entitlement. Pro Beta orgs receive it automatically. Otherwise, contact sales.
The first org with API access. To target a different org, ask the agent to list your orgs and select one; the choice applies for subsequent requests in the same conversation.
Hosts refresh tokens automatically. If refresh fails persistently, remove the connector and re-add it.
403 indicates the monthly cap (15h / 900 credits per workspace) has been hit. The cap resets on the first day of the next month (UTC). 429 indicates the concurrent-project limit (4) has been hit and clears as in-flight projects finish. See Limitations.
Tools consume credits and inherit the Pro Beta caps (15h monthly, 10-credit per-project floor, 4 concurrent projects). See Limitations.

​
Skill

A code package the agent loads. It documents how to call the OpusClip API and includes worked samples the agent adapts at runtime.Get an API key from the OpusClip dashboard under API Access → Create key. Set it in the shell that launches the agent:
export OPUSCLIP_API_KEY=sk-...
Do not paste API keys into chat with the agent. Chat content can be retained in transcripts, logs, and model context. Set the key in the shell environment as shown above.
Install the skill in your host:Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add opus-pro/opus-skills
/plugin install opusclip@opus-skills
Codex (CLI and App)
codex plugin marketplace add opus-pro/opus-skills
OpenClaw
openclaw plugins install clawhub:opusclip-pro
Claude.ai Web and Claude Cowork (Pro+ Anthropic subscription)
  • Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/opus-pro/opus-skills.git
  • cd skills && zip -r opusclip-skill.zip opusclip
  • Upload the zip at Settings → Customize → Skills.
Other hosts with npx skills
npx skills add opus-pro/opus-skills
Verify installation. Start a new conversation and run:
List my recent OpusClip projects
The agent should call the skill and return a list (or report that the API key is missing). If nothing happens, confirm the plugin loaded and that OPUSCLIP_API_KEY is set in the shell that launched the host.
