Model Context Protocol server for Clypt — submit podcast URLs, receive clips and trailer.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
You need to fill in: CLYPT_API_KEY
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Model Context Protocol server for Clypt. Lets AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, any MCP-aware client) submit a podcast URL and receive clips, an optional trailer, show notes, a guest-share link, and the transcript.
Pure shim over the public REST API at https://useclypt.com/api/v1 — three tools, no clever middleware.
| Tool | Wraps | Returns |
|---|---|---|
submit_job | POST /v1/jobs | { id, status: 'queued', ... } — kicks the pipeline. Wall-clock to terminal: ~2-5 min for audio/RSS sources, ~10-12 min for video + trailer. |
get_job | GET /v1/jobs/{id} | Current job state. When status='complete', output contains clips, optional trailer, guest_share_url, show_notes, transcript. When failed, error carries a code + message. |
list_jobs | GET /v1/jobs | Cursor-paginated list of the org's recent jobs. |
The flow is asynchronous: submit_job returns immediately with a queued id; the agent polls get_job until terminal. Once a webhook is registered against your org, job.completed and job.failed events fire on every terminal transition — register via the public API at POST /v1/webhooks (no MCP tool for this yet; coming in a later minor).
With the server configured in Claude Desktop, ask:
*Use Clypt to clip this podcast and tell me when it's done: https://feeds.simplecast.com/abc123*
Claude will call submit_job, get back a job id, poll get_job until terminal, and surface the clips + trailer + transcript inline. Wall-clock: ~2-5 min for audio/RSS, ~10-12 min for video + trailer.
npm install -g @useclypt/mcp-server
Or run without installing:
npx -y @useclypt/mcp-server
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": { "clypt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@useclypt/mcp-server"], "env": { "CLYPT_API_KEY": "clk_live_..." } } } }
Restart Claude Desktop. Then prompt: *"Use Clypt to clip this podcast: "*.
Same recipe — the binary is mcp-server (or run without global install via npx -y @useclypt/mcp-server) and the only required env var is CLYPT_API_KEY.
If your key starts with clk_test_ instead of clk_live_, every job returns a deterministic fixture instead of running the real pipeline. No transcription cost, no R2 storage cost, no Stripe charges. Useful for wiring up your agent before you commit to real submissions.
Fixture mapping:
source.type='video_url' (any URL) → success fixture with 3 clips + optional trailersource.type='audio_url' / rss_feed_url (URL without "fail") → success fixturetranscription_failed error fixturesource.type='youtube_url' → youtube_ingestion_failed error fixtureinvalid_source_url validation error at submitGet a sandbox key in seconds at useclypt.com/developers/signup — no credit card, no waiting list. Sandbox keys (prefix clk_test_) return deterministic fixtures so you can wire up your agent for free before swapping in a clk_live_ key.
| Variable | Required | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
CLYPT_API_KEY | yes | — | Bearer token for the Clypt API. clk_live_* or clk_test_*. |
CLYPT_BASE_URL | no | https://useclypt.com | Override for staging or local development. Trailing slash is stripped. |
