Give Claude a real video editor. Generate shots, cut them on a multi-track timeline, burn in captions, and export an MP4 — without leaving the chat.
Most media integrations stop at "here is a generated clip." Clipwave keeps going: projects, a shared asset library, per-video timelines with video/voice/sfx/music tracks, trims, transitions, subtitles, and a real export.
Then run /mcp, pick clipwave, and authenticate. That is the whole setup —
the server speaks OAuth 2.0 with dynamic client registration, so there is no key
to copy or config file to hand-edit.
Three single-purpose plugins from ManyMotions (the platform formerly known as Clipwave), each connected to its own hosted MCP server with an interactive panel in Claude:
| Plugin | What it does | Install |
|---|---|---|
| Logo Maker AI & Designer | Logo concepts from a brand brief | /plugin install logo-maker@clipwave |
| Clipwave Video & Image Maker | AI images and videos from a text prompt | /plugin install clipwave-video-image-maker@clipwave |
| UGC Video Ads Maker AI | Short UGC-style video ads from a product brief | /plugin install ugc-video-ads@clipwave |
| 2 skills | video-generation (model choice, submit, poll) and video-editing (timeline, captions, export) |
| 2 commands | /clipwave-video to generate a shot, /clipwave-edit to work a timeline |
| 1 connector | The hosted Clipwave MCP server — ~20 tools |
| 1 setup skill | Walks Claude through connecting, including the headless API-key path |
Generate three 5-second shots of a ceramic mug on a windowsill — wide, then a slow push-in, then a top-down. Cut them together with 0.4s fades, add the voiceover from
vo.mp3, subtitle it TikTok-style, and export vertical.
Claude reads the model catalogue, picks the right text-to-video id, submits and polls three jobs, creates a project, places six clips across two tracks, sets the transitions, burns the captions, and hands back an MP4 URL.
A Clipwave account. Generation spends credits; every
read-only tool (list_models, job_status, and the get_* / list_* family)
is free, and so are the deterministic timeline operations — placing, removing,
reordering, transitions and captions.
