Overview

InstantClips MCP server turns ecommerce product pages or product photos into branded vertical video ads. It connects an MCP client to a hosted Streamable HTTP endpoint, where agents can import product information, generate a video after confirming the expected credit cost, and poll for the finished MP4 and share link. Use it when you have product assets but no footage and need short-form ads for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or Stories. It is not intended for cinematic films, presenter-led videos, horizontal 4K output, or products without a page or photos.

Use cases

  • Create vertical ads from ecommerce product pages
  • Generate social videos from local product photos
  • Produce catalogue videos for multiple stores
  • Retrieve finished MP4s and share links programmatically

Key features

  • Import products from store URLs
  • Create products from image files or URLs
  • Generate branded vertical video ads
  • Poll asynchronous video jobs
  • Return MP4 files and public share links
  • Support hosted HTTP and stdio clients

How InstantClips works

What InstantClips MCP server does

InstantClips MCP server connects an MCP client to the hosted InstantClips service at https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp. It turns ecommerce product information into short-form vertical video ads for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Stories. Product data can come from a store page or from uploaded product images.

The workflow is based on the product material supplied to the service. For a URL, the service reads information such as product photos, price, and details. For image-based creation, it uses the provided photos instead. A plan is prepared before the video is generated, and the resulting asset is delivered as an MP4 with a public share link.

This fits catalogue-scale ad creation, Shopify sellers, dropshippers, brands, and agencies managing social content for multiple stores.

How it works

The hosted endpoint uses stateless Streamable HTTP and accepts JSON-RPC 2.0 POST requests. Clients can authenticate through OAuth 2.1 by signing in when prompted. Callers without a browser can send an Authorization: Bearer <token> header instead.

An agent first imports a product with import_product_from_url or creates one from images with create_product_from_images. It then calls generate_video, including expected_credit_cost, which represents the cost previously shown to the user. Video creation is asynchronous: the agent polls get_video until the MP4 and public share link are available.

The account connection uses the same brands, products, credits, and plan limits as the InstantClips web application. Signing in can create an account and provide credits for the first video. Approved assistants can be reviewed and disconnected in the account's Authorized apps settings.

Setup and configuration

Add the hosted endpoint directly in clients that support Streamable HTTP. Claude Code can add it with claude mcp add --transport http --scope user instantclips https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp; Codex uses the same URL in ~/.codex/config.toml; Cursor and VS Code provide install buttons on the setup page. The Claude app and ChatGPT support custom connector or developer-mode setup using this endpoint.

For scripts, CI, and headless agents, create a long-lived access token in InstantClips settings and send it as a bearer token. The InstantClips MCP server also provides an npm stdio adapter for clients that cannot connect to remote MCP servers directly. The adapter reads credentials only from INSTANTCLIPS_TOKEN, requires Node.js 20 or newer, and forwards calls to the hosted service.

The adapter supports local image files through image_paths for create_product_from_images and add_image_paths for update_product. It accepts up to nine files of 8 MB each and uploads them as product photos.

Tools and capabilities

  • Import a product from a store page with import_product_from_url.
  • Create a product from photos with create_product_from_images.
  • Generate a video with generate_video after passing the expected credit cost.
  • Poll get_video for the completed MP4 and public share link.
  • Update an existing product with additional images through update_product.
  • Use OAuth through the hosted endpoint or bearer-token authentication for automated callers.

Limitations and notes

The product implementation is hosted; the repository contains connection instructions, registry metadata, an example HTTP client, and the stdio adapter rather than a duplicate implementation of the service. The hosted endpoint remains the source of truth.

The token grants full access to the connected account and should not be committed to source control. In the stdio adapter, it is required for tool calls but not for initialization, ping, or tool discovery. Hosted clients can use browser-based sign-in instead.

InstantClips MCP server creates vertical product ads from supplied product information and images, so output quality and applicability depend on having a product page or suitable photos.

It is designed for short-form product advertising.

Connect your MCP client to `https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp` over Streamable HTTP and sign in when prompted. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, the Claude app, and ChatGPT each have documented setup paths. For stdio-only clients, run the `instantclips-mcp` npm adapter with `INSTANTCLIPS_TOKEN`.

Yes, InstantClips works with Cursor through the hosted MCP endpoint. Use the one-click install button on the InstantClips setup page, then complete sign-in on first use.

Use the stdio adapter and pass local paths through `image_paths` to `create_product_from_images`. The adapter uploads up to nine files, each up to 8 MB, directly as product photos. It requires an access token in `INSTANTCLIPS_TOKEN` and Node.js 20 or newer.
