Talking-actor and faceless short videos from your AI agent, with a free quote before each render
Clipwright renders short UGC presenter videos, faceless narrated videos, images and silent clips from an assistant's script, with a free quote before each…
Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.
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/io.clipwright%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.Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

}Your coding agent writes the script; Clipwright renders
a short vertical video of an actor speaking it, 1080×1920 by default. It also
makes faceless videos of a length you pick, 30 to 90 seconds, from a script or a short brief: narration
over an opening animated clip and image scenes, with no on-camera presenter. The agent
asks for a free quote before it spends anything, and whatever the API cannot
honor comes back in warnings[] instead of being dropped silently.
The agent gets a run_id at once and polls until the video URL is ready.
Clipwright returns the file; it does not publish anywhere. Quotes, voices,
actors and the account balance are free. Renders spend credits: an account opened
by signing up starts with 420 trial credits, enough for one 90-second faceless video. Buy more at
clipwright.io/pricing.
There are two ways to connect: the hosted server at
https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp, or this package run locally over stdio. Both
serve the same tools.
Add the URL to your client. On first use the client opens a browser, you sign in to Clipwright and approve the app. Claude Code and the device-code flow below were verified live on 2026-10-18; the other commands come from each client's own documentation and have not been tried with Clipwright yet.
claude mcp add --transport http clipwright https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp,
then run /mcp in a session and sign in.@ and pick it.~/.cursor/mcp.json,
{"mcpServers": {"clipwright": {"url": "https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp"}}}..mcp.json at the workspace root,
{"mcpServers": {"clipwright": {"type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp"}}}.gemini mcp add --transport http clipwright https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp,
then /mcp auth clipwright.codex mcp add clipwright --url https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp,
then codex mcp login clipwright.The approval page lists the permissions the app asks for. There are two:
mcp:read — the tools marked read-only: account, runs, shots, voices,
actors, workflows and quotes.mcp:write — every other tool. Some start paid runs and spend credits;
the rest change the account (actors, uploads, workflow plans).A connection without mcp:write gets 403 insufficient_scope from those
tools, and nothing is charged. Only an admitted account can approve.
To disconnect an app, open app.clipwright.io/api-keys,
find it under Connected apps and revoke it. Its next request gets 401. A
connection lasts 90 days from approval; after that the app asks you to sign in
again.
On the hosted server upload_image cannot read a file on your machine. Pass a
public https URL as upload_image({url}) and the server downloads it, or call
create_upload and PUT the file to the returned put_url with curl. Either
way you get an upload_id for first_frame, last_frame and references.
An agent with no browser signs in with a device code and the first-party
client clipwright-agent (verified live 2026-10-18):
Open verification_uri (https://mcp.clipwright.io/device) on any device,
enter user_code, sign in and approve; the approval page repeats the code.
Meanwhile poll POST https://mcp.clipwright.io/token with
grant_type=urn:ietf:params:oauth:grant-type:device_code, the device_code
and client_id=clipwright-agent, no more often than every 5 seconds: a faster
poll gets slow_down. Send the access_token as Authorization: Bearer to
/mcp; it lasts an hour. Renew it with grant_type=refresh_token and keep the
newest refresh token each time. The device flow is open to this client only.
cw_* keyFor CI and scripts, send a key instead of signing in. A key holds both permissions.
n8n's built-in MCP Client node calls one tool per node:
https://mcp.clipwright.io/mcp.cw_... key.quote_ugc; Input Mode: JSON.Verified live on 2026-10-20 with self-hosted n8n 2.43.8: get_account,
quote_ugc and get_run returned through the node. A workflow to import,
n8n/clipwright-ugc.json in seocombat/clipwright-mcp,
quotes a script, stops when the quote is above max_credits, starts make_ugc
and polls get_run every 15 seconds. The whole workflow ran on n8n Cloud on
2026-10-20 and returned a 1080×1920 MP4 in about three minutes. n8n's OAuth
credential has not been run against Clipwright yet.
Put your own key in place of cw_.... The command is one line and gives the
shell nothing to expand, so bash, zsh and PowerShell run it alike. It needs
Node.js 20 or newer.
Any MCP host works — the local server speaks JSON-RPC over stdio. Issue keys at app.clipwright.io/api-keys.
These variables configure the local server.
Each recipe is a prompt we gave an agent with this server connected, the call the agent sent, and what the video cost. The videos play at clipwright.io/mcp.
One presenter on camera, with graphics over her that react to what she says: the format of talking-head reels that sell a product. One prompt, no editor.
The prompt, given verbatim, with our actor id, screenshot link and site named alongside it:
Make a 30-second vertical reel for my AI receptionist with my presenter actor and the voice Hope. Script: "Every missed call is a lost deal. Your receptionist sleeps, takes breaks, and sometimes gets annoyed. This one doesn't. It answers calls all day, works around the clock, and never gets annoyed. Here's a real one: a customer calls at two in the morning to book a cleaning, and it handles everything, the time, the price, the confirmation text. Small businesses miss a third of their calls. Not anymore. Set it up in ten minutes and stop losing deals while you sleep."
While she lists what it does, show a checklist with three switches ("answers calls" and "works 24/7" off, "gets annoyed" on) and have a cursor flip each one as she says it. When she gets to the 2 a.m. customer, show an incoming call from +1 (305) 555-0147 on the right and answer it on "handles". Put my dashboard screenshot in the top right corner while she says "Small businesses miss a third of their calls." End on a card with my site and "create your assistant". Caption only the key lines, in the highlighter style, and zoom in a little on "Not anymore." Quote it before you render.
What the agent sent: one make_ugc quote with templates (checklist, phone_call,
end_card), one overlays picture, caption_mode: "highlights",
caption_style: "highlighter" and a punch_in on one emphasis line. Click,
switch and ring sounds come with the templates by default. We checked the prompt
with a fresh agent on this server on 2026-10-24; the video was rendered from the
same call.
The quote named the price before anything was spent; list_prices names every rate. Watch it.

speech model gemini-3.8-flash-tts and the catalog for make_ugc, with
filters by language, gender, age, use case and model, and a short audio
sample where the voice has one. The seventeen narration voices of
make_faceless are listed with skill: "make_faceless". Free, spends no
credits.list_template_sounds — the sounds make_ugc templates play, by beat: where
each beat plays, its default and every name template_sounds takes. Free.list_moves — the catalogue of moves, motion and graphics to put on lines of
a script as moves of make_ugc, make_faceless and plan_reference_remake:
what each does for the viewer, the lines it suits and its credits. Free.list_actors — ready-made faces with stable ids and verified formats. Free.quote_ugc — estimated duration and price, plus a warning when make_ugc
with the same input would be refused for money or access. Free.get_account — balance, debt and holds of the account. Free.list_prices — what every tool costs in credits: a number per unit, or a

Free.send_feedback — tell Clipwright what is missing, confusing, wrong or slow,
optionally about a run; we read every one. Free.describe_tool — the full guidance of a tool, or of one of its fields, which
the tool list gives in short. Free.make_ugc — renders a clip; this is the call that costs money. Returns a
run_id immediately instead of blocking, because a render takes minutes.get_run — status of a run. Free; poll it every few seconds.get_run_shots — the shots of a finished video: the span, kind, description
and preview link of each, with the narration words and their timing. Free and
read-only. A run with no shots to show answers with the reason instead.delete_run_media — delete the files of a finished run: they stop opening at
once and are erased from storage after 7 days; the run and its charge stay.
Refused while another unfinished run uses them. Free.quote_revision — price of a revision of a faceless video: what it would
change and what it costs. Free.revise_run — starts a revision: a new run that renders the video again
with the shots you change; this costs money. Pass changes (a shot and what
to generate for it) or the whole edited document. A revision that delivers
is charged its quoted total; one that fails is charged nothing. An identical
request returns the same run;
attempt starts a second one on purpose. Returns a run_id immediately; poll
get_run until succeeded.quote_candidate — price of a shot candidate of a faceless video: one picture
or clip made for one shot, to keep or discard in a revision. Free.create_candidate — makes a shot candidate; this costs money. Pass the
shot and the operation to generate for it. A delivered candidate is charged

measured shapes and credits per image or per second. Free.quote_image, quote_video — price of one image or one clip. Free.generate_image, generate_video — make one image or one silent clip;
this costs money. One that fails is charged nothing. An identical request returns the same run; attempt starts
another on purpose. Poll get_run; generation.url is the file.upload_image — a PNG/JPEG from a local path or a public https url →
upload_id and a signed https url to pass as image. Free; 20 per day, at
most 30 url downloads per hour, the url lives 24 hours. Set aspect_ratio
explicitly afterwards.create_upload — a presigned PUT for a local PNG/JPEG when the server is
remote: PUT the file with curl, then use the upload_id. Free.get_upload — one upload with a fresh url, its size and usable_until;
after create_upload it confirms the PUT. Free.delete_upload — delete an upload: no tool takes it from then on, and its
file is erased from storage after 7 days. Refused while an unfinished run uses
it. Free.create_asset — save a picture or an MP4 clip as an account asset, kept
until you delete it: from a run_id, an upload_id, a public url (a clip
with kind: "video"), base64, a presigned put, and a local path on
stdio. A clip is checked in the background: get_asset says when it is
ready. Your own material needs rights_confirmed: true once. Free; 2000
assets and 1 GB per account (20 GB once it has bought credits), 100 new
ones per day.list_assets, get_asset — the account's assets with fresh urls and the
usage of the caps. Free.update_asset — rename an asset or change its role. Free.delete_asset — delete an asset; a daily cleanup removes its file once 7 days

when the asset's analysis would answer. Free.analyze_reference — read a reference ad (an MP4 asset, up to 120 s) into a
reference_profile: beats, graphics in our template vocabulary, captions,
pacing and what we cannot draw. Returns at once; poll
get_reference_analysis. 70 credits held and charged once it succeeds; a
failed analysis costs nothing. 10 new analyses per hour.get_reference_analysis — the state of an analysis, with its breakdown and
warnings once it succeeded, and next: plan_reference_remake with its
analysis_id, for a video like the reference. The profile and the frame
links come with include: ["profile", "frames"]. Free.quote_creator_profile — price of a creator profile for a link: 20 credits,
or 0 when a profile of the same creator from the last hour would answer. Free.analyze_creator — profile the creator behind an Instagram or TikTok profile
or video link: their latest 12 videos with views, likes, comments and shares,
the median views and each video's x to it, top performers and cadence. Waits
for the result; an unfinished one is read with get_creator_profile. 20
credits held and charged once it succeeds; a private or empty account costs
nothing. 30 new profiles per hour.get_creator_profile — the state of a creator profile, with its videos and
warnings once it succeeded. Free.delete_creator_profile — delete a finished creator profile at once; the run
that made it and its charge stay. Free.quote_trends — price of a trend search: 20 credits, or 0 when a search of
the same query from the last hour would answer. Free.find_trends — reels that took off on a topic: keywords on TikTok and
Instagram in one ranking by default (platform: mix), or on one of them, up
to 10 reels per platform posted within posted_within_days (7 by default; 1
is the last 24 hours), one per creator,
ranked by the reel's views over its creator's median views. language
filters the TikTok reels only. Waits for the result; an unfinished one is read
by repeating the call, free. 20 credits held and charged once it succeeds,
also when a mix reaches only one platform (warnings[] names the other); a
search that finds no reel costs nothing. 10 new searches per hour. Without
keywords it searches your main saved niche, with its platform and language.trend_niches — without arguments, the account's saved niches, the first
the main one; with niches, saves the list you confirmed, up to three,
replacing the saved one ([] clears it). Free.quote_actor — price of a personal actor before creating one. Free.create_actor — creates a personal actor from a description; this costs
money. Each requested format is a separate charged image. With portrait
(your own 9:16 image asset) that image becomes the actor's portrait at no
charge, and only the other formats are charged. Returns a run_id
immediately; poll get_run until succeeded, then pass created_actor.actor_id
to make_ugc as actor_id.quote_faceless — price of a faceless video before making one. Free.make_faceless — makes a faceless video from your script or from a short
brief; this costs money. You pick 30 to 90 seconds; the video ends with its
narration, at least 25 seconds (an explainer, as long as its narration) and usually at most a quarter past your pick
and 90 (a longer narration runs to its end), and costs at most the quote. Narration plays over an opening
animated clip and image scenes, with captions on by default. voice picks
the narration voice by name. Returns a
run_id immediately; poll get_run until succeeded. With format: "explainer" it makes a drawn explainer
film, open to every account: tier standard (the default, 700 credits up to 60 seconds plus 12 a second over)
or pro (1200 plus 20). The quote names both; a film takes about half an hour. A busy service answers
explainer_busy with Retry-After.delete_actor — removes a personal actor of this account. Videos already made
with it stay as they are. Free.get_actor_defaults, set_actor_defaults — read and save an actor's B-roll
default. It is stored only: today's talking-actor videos do not use it. Free.extract_brand — reads a public site's colours, fonts, logo and corners into
a proposed design with readable text, for you to confirm. Free.brand_kit — without design, reads the account's saved design and the looks
and faces to pick from; with design, saves it so a series keeps one look.
A video that names no design or template_theme draws in the kit. Free.Call quote_ugc before make_ugc: the quote is where the contract tells you
what it will and will not honor. Anything the API cannot deliver comes back in
warnings[] rather than being dropped silently, and unsupported fields are
rejected up front instead of being accepted and ignored.
Bumping the attempt field starts a new paid render. It is the way to retry
a failed run on purpose, not a free refresh. For faceless videos attempt
belongs to make_faceless: a quote takes none, and quote_faceless refuses it.
SKILL.md ships inside the package with the full operating instructions.
clipwright.io/changelog says what changed in each
release and what was removed.
The server sends your script or brief, chosen options and any uploaded image to the Clipwright API to quote and render the video. How that data is handled: clipwright.io/privacy. Documentation: clipwright.io/docs.

Missing media: make it with generate_image or generate_video and compile again. plan_id, base_version and review_notes save the next revision; a note changes nothing by itself: a shot goes in assets[].anchor or line_edits, pauses in pause_trim, the product in hand and its demo in product. Only an approved revision runs.

Start one approved paid workflow run: pass its quote's launch object unchanged; poll get_run. Never auto-approve, auto-quote or invent a key: if delivery is uncertain, repeat with the original key; a new key can pay twice.
