Opus Clip (opus-pro) MCP Server

Turn long videos into AI-curated short clips - from your agent. Submit a video file or URL and OpusClip finds the best moments, adds captions, reframes to vertical, and returns ready-to-post clips. It can also generate thumbnails and social copy, pull transcripts, and schedule posts to your connected social accounts.

People who work with agentic ai, openclaw and short form video and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
