Server details

Identifier: ai.clipstudio/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Runtime: Web executable
Trust: Verified
Published: Sep 21, 2026

Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified that this server's namespace belongs to clipstudio.ai, which also runs its endpoint. That identifies the publisher; it does not make the server's tools safe.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted Clip Studio MCP that lets an assistant quote, generate, poll and publish AI video, image, audio and ad content on the user's own Clip Studio plan.

What you can do: List models, voices, themes, actors, games and free tools across Clip Studio products
Quote and generate video clips, stills, narration and ad layouts, then poll jobs until ready
Research and script Topic Shorts, Talking Shorts, Ad Studio clips and multi-part stories
Upload source images or MP4s and reconcile jobs with the provider
Browse the library, publish or unpublish generations, and list public publications
Check plan and usage, and create a Stripe checkout URL when the allowance is short
When to use it: Use it when you want an assistant to produce short-form video, talking-head clips, ad creatives, narration or storyboards through Clip Studio without leaving the chat, and you already have or are willing to buy a Clip Studio plan.
Requirements: Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at clipstudio.ai; no local install. OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, so you sign in with a Clip Studio account and approve access; leave the client id empty. Stdio-only clients need a bridge such as mcp-remote via npx. A paid plan or generation allowance is needed for paid tools.

Before you install

Paid tools spend the account's monthly generation allowance; a 402 response means the quote exceeds it, and create_checkout_url leads to a Stripe checkout that spends real money. Publishing makes a generation publicly visible until unpublished. The server acts with the signed-in account's permissions, so anything the human cannot do on the website the agent cannot do either. Uploaded source images and MP4s, website imports and prompts are sent to Clip Studio and its providers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open Clip Studio MCP in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.clipstudio%2Fmcp/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

[Clip Studio]

Clip Studio MCP

Hosted Model Context Protocol server for Clip Studio. Add one URL to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or any MCP client and use the same public Clip Studio products a signed-in human already has — Video Lab, Topic Shorts, Talking Shorts, Ad Studio, Last Frame, Image Lab, Audio Lab, Story, Ad Lab, library, and free tools — on the same plan as the website.

Endpoint: https://clipstudio.ai/api/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Marketing: https://clipstudio.ai/mcp
Public tool list: https://clipstudio.ai/mcp.md

This repo is a connector listing (server.json, install snippets, examples). The server is hosted. There is nothing to clone and run.

Quick start

Paste the URL. Leave OAuth client id empty. Sign in when the client opens Clip Studio, then Approve.

Claude Desktop / Claude.ai connectors

Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector. Paste:

Connect. Leave OAuth client id empty.

Cursor

Add an HTTP MCP server in ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Cursor runs OAuth on first use.

ChatGPT (developer mode connector)

Enable developer mode, add a custom MCP connector, paste https://clipstudio.ai/api/mcp, then complete Clip Studio Approve.

Windsurf

Edit ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (remote field is serverUrl):

Save, then refresh MCP in Cascade.

VS Code / Copilot

User or workspace mcp.json:

json

{  "servers": {    "clipstudio": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://clipstudio.ai/api/mcp"    }  }}

{  "servers": {    "clipstudio": {      "type": "http",      "url": "https://clipstudio.ai/api/mcp"    }  }}

Command Palette → MCP: Open User Configuration, or .vscode/mcp.json in a workspace.

Stdio-only clients

Bridge to Streamable HTTP:

Example wrapper:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "clipstudio": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://clipstudio.ai/api/mcp"]    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "clipstudio": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://clipstudio.ai/api/mcp"]    }  }}

Authentication

One-click OAuth on the first call. Unauthenticated requests — including initialize and tools/list — return HTTP 401 with WWW-Authenticate and protected-resource metadata. The client dynamically registers (OAuth 2.1 + PKCE, public client). You sign in with the Clip Studio account and Approve. Tokens stay on the client.

No client id to paste. If a human cannot do the job on clipstudio.ai, the agent cannot do it here.

How a paid job works

Quote (quote_*). Does not generate.
If the monthly generation allowance cannot cover the quote, the tool returns HTTP 402 with numeric JSON fields (names only — these are API keys, not UI copy):
json
```
{  "requiredCredits": 120,  "availableCredits": 0}
```
```
{  "requiredCredits": 120,  "availableCredits": 0}
```
Then call create_checkout_url with a priceId from get_account.offerCheckout. It returns a Stripe Checkout URL and does not take card data.
Generate (generate_* / start_last_frame / render_storyboard / …). Uses this month’s generation allowance.
Poll the matching get_* tool until the job finishes.

Submit and poll. Do not hold the MCP request for a full provider render.

Example prompts

Preview a 15-second Topic Short about why most morning routines fail, then quote and generate it.
List Video Lab models, quote an 8-second 16:9 clip of a running shoe on a wet track, generate, and poll until it is ready.
Continue my story: load the latest project, write the next part, then render it.
Check my remaining monthly generation allowance. If a quote returns 402, open checkout from offerCheckout.
Research an Ad Studio clip from this product URL, pick a catalog creator, quote, generate, and poll.

Walkthroughs: examples/.
