Which AI video clipper works with Claude over MCP?

Why this happens

How to add any remote MCP server to Claude, and what to check first

These steps follow Anthropic's own documentation for Claude Code and for custom connectors, read on 2026-11-13. They work for any clipper that publishes a remote MCP URL.

1. 1. Read the server's tool list before you connect

   Open the vendor's MCP docs and read what each tool does. Note which tools only read, which start work and which spend credits or publish. Anthropic's help page says custom connectors give Claude access to services Anthropic has not verified, and that a server's developer defines what its tools do, including creating, modifying or deleting data and acting on your behalf. Connect only servers from vendors you trust.

2. 2. Check the auth method

   Most clip makers use OAuth: you sign in to the vendor and press Allow, and Claude never sees your password. Some also accept an API key sent in a request header. Prefer OAuth unless you need a key for a script, and note where you revoke access later, because Anthropic's help page says you can revoke at any time by disconnecting the connector or from the third-party service's own settings.

3. 3. Add it to Claude Code

   Claude Code's docs recommend HTTP for remote servers. Run the add command with a name and the URL, then open /mcp inside Claude Code to authenticate when the server needs a sign-in. claude mcp list shows whether the server is connected or needs authentication, and claude mcp get <name> shows details. Servers that take an API key accept it as a header.

   claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url>
   
   # with an API key instead of OAuth
   claude mcp add --transport http <name> <url> \
     --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-key>"
   
   claude mcp list

4. 4. Add it to Claude.ai or Claude Desktop

   On an individual Pro or Max plan, per Anthropic's help page: go to Customize > Connectors, click + Add then Add custom connector, enter a name and the server's URL, review the authentication settings Claude detected, and finish with Add. Then enable it per conversation from the + button, under Connectors. Free plans are limited to one custom connector. Team and Enterprise owners add connectors for the organisation first and members then connect individually.

5. 5. Know that the connection comes from Anthropic's cloud

   For custom connectors Claude reaches your server from Anthropic's infrastructure, not from your computer. The server must be reachable from the public internet. A server on a private network or behind a VPN will not connect, which does not affect public clip-maker servers but matters if you self-host something.

6. 6. Run a read-only prompt first

   Ask Claude to list your recent projects and read one. Check the fields that come back, and watch the approval prompts. Anthropic's help page advises reviewing tool approval requests and clicking "Allow always" only for a tool you trust to run unsupervised, and notes you can switch off tools you do not need in the Search and tools menu.

7. 7. Only then let it start work that spends credits

   Find the tool that creates or publishes, check the vendor's limits (per-key request limits, monthly caps, parallel jobs) and decide who approves each spend. Remove the connector from Customize > Connectors, or run claude mcp remove <name>, if you stop using it.

When to use RemixViral

RemixViral is an AI clip maker built for AI agents to operate over MCP. You upload a long video you own (MP4, MOV, MKV or WebM, up to 120 minutes) in the web app; it transcribes the video, ranks the moments, cuts the chosen ones to 9:16 with captions burned in and leaves the review and export to you. Claude's role is to read and explain the ranked result.

Ask your AI assistant to do it

After you have connected RemixViral and uploaded a video in the web app, a first read-only check looks like this.

Assign to RemixViral: call get_credit_balance, then use list_clip_jobs to find my newest finished clip job and get_clip_job to read its ranked clips. Give me a table of the top five with start and end seconds, score and reason. Do not call create_video or anything that spends credits. Show me what you did so I can approve what happens next.
