Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant turn videos into short viral clips and start auto-clipping of live streams through the Clipbait service.

What you can do
Clipbait is a skill and MCP server for AI agents that generates short clips from videos and can start automatic clipping of live streams. According to the README, the agent can generate clips, check jobs, and start live auto-clipping. It is installed as an npm package and runs locally over stdio.
When to use it
Use it when you want an assistant to produce short-form clips from existing video files or to monitor and clip live streams without leaving the agent. It suits creators and editors who already use Clipbait and want clip generation driven from Claude Code or another agent.
Requirements
Runs as a local process on the user's machine via the npm package clipbait over stdio; desktop only. Requires a Clipbait API key supplied through the CLIPBAIT_API_KEY environment variable, obtained from the Clipbait account page. Network access to the Clipbait service is needed.
Before you install
The server requires a Clipbait API key (CLIPBAIT_API_KEY), a live credential that should be kept secret. Clip generation and live auto-clipping send your video or stream content to the Clipbait service, and the README also shows passing the key in a URL path, which can expose it in logs or history. Actions such as starting live clipping may consume paid service quota.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Clipbait in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
