Common questions

Is Ssemble AI Clipping safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: SSEMBLE_API_KEY

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

Either way works: install it on your computer or connect to the cloud version.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.18) reached the registry yesterday.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: MCP YouTube Transcript, Google Analytics MCP, BibiGPT YouTube Video Summarizer

Ssemble MCP Server

MCP server for Ssemble AI Clipping — create viral short-form videos from any AI assistant.

Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.

What it does

This MCP server lets AI assistants create short-form video clips from YouTube videos using Ssemble's AI clipping engine. The AI can:

  • Create shorts from YouTube URLs or uploaded files
  • Webhook callbacks — get notified when processing completes (works with n8n, Zapier, Make)
  • Browse assets — caption templates, background music, gameplay overlays, meme hooks
  • Track processing — check progress and retrieve completed clips
  • Manage requests — list history, get results, delete old requests

Prerequisites

  • Ssemble account with an active subscription
  • API key (get it from Settings → API Keys in the Ssemble dashboard)
  • Node.js >= 18

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Edit your config file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{

"mcpServers": { "ssemble": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@ssemble/mcp-server"], "env": { "SSEMBLE_API_KEY": "sk_ssemble_your_key_here" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Claude Code
claude mcp add ssemble -- npx @ssemble/mcp-server

Then set the environment variable:

export SSEMBLE_API_KEY="sk_ssemble_your_key_here"
Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf

Add to your MCP settings:

{

"mcpServers": { "ssemble": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@ssemble/mcp-server"], "env": { "SSEMBLE_API_KEY": "sk_ssemble_your_key_here" } } } }

Available Tools

ToolDescription
create_shortCreate AI-generated short clips from a video. Returns request ID instantly.
get_statusCheck processing progress (0-100%) and current step
get_shortsRetrieve completed clips with video URLs, titles, viral scores
list_requestsList all your requests with pagination and status filtering
delete_requestPermanently delete a request and its videos
list_templatesBrowse caption style templates
list_musicBrowse background music tracks
list_game_videosBrowse gameplay overlay videos
list_meme_hooksBrowse meme hook attention-grabber clips

How Processing Works

Video processing takes 5-30 minutes. Two workflows available:

Option A: Polling (manual check)
  1. create_short — submits the job and returns instantly with a request ID
  2. get_status — check progress anytime (queued → processing → completed)
  3. get_shorts — retrieve the generated clips when done
Option B: Webhook (automated)
  1. create_short with webhookUrl — submits the job with a callback URL
  2. When processing completes or fails, the API sends an HTTP POST to your URL with the results
  3. No polling needed — ideal for n8n, Zapier, Make, and custom backend integrations

Webhook payload example:

{

"event": "shorts.completed", "requestId": "507f1f77bcf86cd799439011", "status": "completed", "timestamp": "2026-03-30T12:00:00.000Z", "data": { "shorts": [ { "id": "...", "title": "AI-Generated Title", "video_url": "https://...", "duration": 45, "viral_score": 8.5 } ] } }

Usage Examples

Create shorts from a YouTube video:

"Create shorts from https://youtube.com/watch?v=abc123, use the first 10 minutes with chill background music"

Browse available assets:

"Show me all caption templates" / "What background music is available?"

Check progress:

"What's the status of my video request?"

Get results:

"Show me the clips for request 507f1f77bcf86cd799439011, sorted by viral score"
