Crabcut

io.github.realcrabcut由 GitHub 账号 realcrabcut 发布v2.0.7更新于 Oct 24, 2026

Turn YouTube videos into short-form clips from any AI assistant

已验证STDIO仅桌面效率与工作流媒体与设计

概览

AI 生成的概览

Crabcut 把 YouTube 链接转成带字幕的竖屏短视频,让助手发起任务、查询进度并获取可下载的片段。

可以做什么
  • 从 YouTube 链接发起切片生成,可限定起止时间或设置 webhook 回调
  • 查询项目进度并获取按评分排序的成品片段
  • 列出历史项目及其状态与片段数量,查看单个片段的完整信息
  • 查询账户套餐、剩余额度和用量
适用场景
适合希望助手在对话中把长 YouTube 视频改造成竖屏短视频的场景,例如为社交媒体准备素材,或从录像中挑出评分最高的精彩片段。
运行要求
通过 npx 在本地运行,需要 Node.js;也可使用远程 Streamable HTTP 端点。需要 Crabcut 账户,并通过环境变量 CRABCUT_API_KEY 提供 API 密钥(远程端点使用 Bearer 令牌)。需要访问 Crabcut API 的网络;可用 CRABCUT_API_URL 覆盖接口地址。
安装前请注意
API 密钥是正式凭据(形如 sk_live_...),会发送到 Crabcut 服务器,请勿放入共享配置。生成切片会消耗付费额度,返回 402 表示额度不足。任务会把 YouTube 链接和处理结果发送给第三方服务;若设置 callback_url,Crabcut 会向你指定的服务器发送 POST 回调。

安装

在 SourceWeft 中

  1. 打开 控制台中的 Crabcut,将其添加到工作区。
  2. 为需要使用其工具的对话启用该服务。

Desktop only,通过 STDIO。 STDIO 服务会启动本地进程,因此需要 SourceWeft 桌面宿主。

其他 MCP 客户端

参照 仓库 中的启动说明。

README

@crabcut/mcp-server

Turn YouTube videos into short clips — from Claude, Cursor, or any AI assistant that supports MCP.

Give it a YouTube link. It finds the best moments, reframes for vertical video (9:16), adds subtitles, and returns download-ready clips.

[smithery badge] [CrabCut MCP server]

Quick Start

  1. Get an API key at app.crabcut.ai/developers
  2. Run:
bash
CRABCUT_API_KEY=sk_live_... npx @crabcut/mcp-server

Setup

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Add to your config file — claude_desktop_config.json for Claude, .cursor/mcp.json for Cursor:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "crabcut": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["@crabcut/mcp-server"],      "env": {        "CRABCUT_API_KEY": "sk_live_..."      }    }  }}

Cursor Directory

Install in Cursor

Smithery

bash
npx @smithery/cli mcp add crabcut/crabcut-mcp-server

Remote (Streamable HTTP)

For n8n, custom integrations, or any client that supports remote MCP:

  • Endpoint: https://mcp.crabcut.ai/mcp
  • Auth: Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP (POST)

Tools

ToolWhat it does
generate_clipsStart clip generation from a YouTube URL. Returns a project_id right away.
get_project_statusCheck progress and get clips when ready. Clips are sorted by score (best first).
list_projectsList your projects with status and clip counts.
get_clipGet full details for a single clip.
check_usageSee your plan, remaining credits, and usage.

How It Works

  1. Call generate_clips with a YouTube URL
  2. Get back a project_id immediately
  3. Poll get_project_status every 10–15 seconds (or pass a callback_url for webhook)
  4. When done, clips are sorted by score (best first), each with a download_url

Statuses

Project: pending → processing → completed (or completed_no_clips / failed)

Processing steps: queued → DOWNLOADING_VIDEO → EXTRACTING_AUDIO → TRANSCRIBING → DETECTING_HIGHLIGHTS → CUTTING_CLIPS → EXPORTING_CLIPS → done

Clips: pending → exporting → completed (or failed). The download_url is available when clip_status is completed.

Clips are sorted by score (highest first). We retry up to 3 times if your server doesn't respond.

Signature verification (optional): Each callback includes an X-Crabcut-Signature header. Compute HMAC-SHA256 of the request body using SHA-256(your_api_key) as the signing key. Compare with the header value (sha256=<hex>).

Using with n8n

Option A — Webhook (recommended):

  1. Create a workflow with a Webhook trigger node. Copy its URL.
  2. Add an HTTP Request node: POST https://api.crabcut.ai/api/v1/clips/generate with Header Auth (Authorization: Bearer sk_live_...) and body:
    json
    {  "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...",  "callback_url": "https://your-n8n.com/webhook/abc123"}
  3. When clips are ready, the Webhook node receives the payload.
  4. Best clip: {{ $json.clips[0].download_url }}

Option B — Polling loop:

  1. POST to generate clips (same as above, without callback_url).
  2. Wait 15 seconds → GET https://api.crabcut.ai/api/v1/projects/{{ $json.project_id }} → IF status is not completed, loop back to Wait.

REST API

For direct HTTP calls without MCP:

MethodEndpointDescription
POST/api/v1/clips/generateStart clip generation
