What you can do
  • Search marketing video templates by goal, release moment and query
  • Inspect a template's editable fields, text limits, colors, scenes and format
  • Upload a product logo once and reuse it across templates
  • Render poster previews of one or up to four templates filled with brand copy
  • Validate filled-in props and return a cliphou.se editor link for exporting the MP4
When to use it
Useful when a release, feature launch or changelog needs a short social video and you want the assistant to pick a template, write the copy and show previews before you edit and export. Previewing and editing work without an account.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint at cliphou.se over streamable HTTP; no key or environment variables are declared. A free Google sign-in is needed to download the MP4 and to edit more than three gallery templates. The optional companion skill needs Node 18 or later.
Before you install
Uploading a logo sends brand assets to cliphou.se, and rendered posters and previews are hosted there. The editor link opens a third-party site where the MP4 export happens. The optional render skill downloads source packages and installs dependencies, though it checks checksums and asks first. Posting to X is not yet available.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open cliphou.se release videos in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. 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/se.cliphou%2Ftemplates/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

README

cliphou.se

You ship it. Cliphouse shows it off.

Your coding agent turns every release into a video for your socials. It finds the selling points, picks the angle, writes the copy, and uses your brand colors and logo. Free skill and MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT.

[A coding agent reads project files, finds what to highlight, and returns three animated video previews for a release and a product explainer]

You can preview and edit without an account. MP4 download and editing more than 3 gallery templates need a free Google sign-in.

Install

Coding agents (Codex, Claude Code)Chat apps (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor)
bash
npx skills add sunmer/cliphouse

Installs the cliphouse skill. It needs Node 18 or later, has no dependencies, and runs no commands besides its own helper.

In Codex you can also run $skill-installer install https://github.com/sunmer/cliphouse/tree/main/skills/cliphouse.

MCP server URL, no key needed:

text
https://cliphou.se/mcp

Add to Cursor · Add to VS Code

Claude.ai and ChatGPT: add a custom connector with the URL above.

Claude Code with MCP instead of the skill:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http cliphouse https://cliphou.se/mcp

Codex with MCP, in ~/.codex/config.toml:

toml
[mcp_servers.cliphouse]url = "https://cliphou.se/mcp"

GitHub does not open cursor:// and vscode: links from a README in every browser. If a link does nothing, add the MCP server URL manually.

Try it

Open your project and ask:

Let's ship 2.1. Btw we need a release video for our socials.

Make a vertical changelog video for this week's updates.

Turn this API release into a 16:9 video for X and LinkedIn.

In Codex, type $cliphouse to call the skill directly.

How it works

skills/cliphouse/scripts/cliphouse.mjs talks to the public cliphou.se catalog over HTTPS. Search uses the cliphou.se MCP server, so the skill and the MCP tools rank templates the same way.

Goals: launch-product, announce-feature, share-update, grow-waitlist, announce-integration, announce-pricing, celebrate-milestone, share-social-proof, promote-event, introduce-brand, run-promotion, and hire-team.

The cliphou.se deploy checks this skill against its MCP contract. If the installed skill is older than the server, search returns a warning with the update command.

CommandDoes
search --goal <goal> "<query>" [--aspect 9:16] [--max-seconds 20] [--inline]Finds templates for a marketing goal. --inline caches the preview MP4s and prints a Markdown grid.
logo [file]Uploads the project's logo (found automatically, or the file you name) and adds it to cliphouse/brand.json. Release and developer templates show it in place of the brand name.
fit <id>... --brand <brand.json> or fit <id> <props.json>Checks your copy against each template's text limits before rendering, and lists the fields that are too long.
tailor <id>... --brand <brand.json>Renders up to 4 templates with your brand on the server, writes cliphouse/<id>.props.json for each, and prints a Markdown grid of 4-second animated loops. --fast prints the posters first.
spec <id>Prints the editable text, colors, and limits.
preview <id> <props.json>Renders an animated loop and a poster of your product in the template on the server, and prints the editor link.
link <id> <props.json>Validates the edit and prints a cliphou.se editor link.
pick <id>...Writes a side-by-side preview page for terminals and prints its path. The agent asks before opening it.

What the default skill does not do:

  • It does not run npm, curl, tar, or any command from a downloaded spec.
  • It does not download source packages into your repo.
  • It does not open your browser on its own.

It caches stock previews only from https://cliphou.se/previews/ and personalized posters and loops only from https://cliphou.se/p/<hash>.jpg and .webp, in ~/.cache/cliphouse. Set CLIPHOUSE_ORIGIN to use another host.

In the Codex picker, a click on a tile sends one fixed message: $cliphouse: use template <id> and fill it for this project. It is sent only on your click, and the id must match ^[a-z0-9-]+$.

cliphouse-render uses fixed render commands written in its SKILL.md. It checks each package against source.packageSha256 before it extracts it into .cliphouse/<id>/, and asks before it adds .cliphouse/ to .gitignore or installs dependencies.

search_templates

Search video templates

Find marketing video templates for a product, project, or announcement. Prefer a marketing goal and, when project facts support it, a release moment; then add a short product or style query. Returns a searchId, the selected moment, detectedMoments hints, and results with id, title, goals, moments, aspect, length, preview MP4, poster image, and editor URL. Engine details appear only when the engine filter is used.

ParametersgoallimitmusicqueryaspectenginemomentpurposemaxSeconds

get_template_spec

Get template spec

Get the editable fields of one template: current props, text roles with maxLength, theme colors, scenes, format, JSON Schema, and the source package for local rendering. Call before build_edit_link and start from the returned props.

ParameterssearchIdvariantIdrequired

render_preview

Render personalized preview

Render a poster image of a template filled with the user's props, in a few seconds, and return it with the editor link. Call after get_template_spec once the props are filled, and show the image to the user. Invalid props return an error that names the field to fix. If rendering is unavailable, poster is null and the editor link still works. With loop: true it also waits for a 4-second animated WebP loop of these props and returns it as video. A loop still rendering has video: null and videoPending: true; call again with the same props to get it. loop: "start" returns the poster now and starts the loop in the background. Show the loop as an image (Markdown ![title](video)) where the host renders images.

ParameterslooppropsrequiredsearchIdvariantIdrequiredtemplateVersion

render_previews

Render tailored previews

Render posters of up to 4 templates at once, each filled with one brand description, so the user picks from options that already show their product. The server maps the brand onto each template's text fields and shortens text to fit. Returns, per template: id, title, poster URL (null if it was not ready in time), editor link, the tailored props to start from after the pick, and keptSample: text fields that still hold the template's sample text (fill them with real facts after the pick). Inline images follow the text, in the same order as the results. shortened lists brand texts that were cut to fit a field ({role, from, to, max}); rewrite them for that field after the pick. Animated loops (4-second animated WebP of each tailored template) take two calls. First call with loop: "start": it returns the posters as fast as without loops and starts the loops in the background. Show the posters. Then call again with the same arguments and loop: true: it waits for the loops and returns video (the loop URL) per template. A loop still rendering has video: null and videoPending: true; call once more to get it. Show each loop as an image (Markdown ![title](video)) where the host renders images, so the options animate.
