Connect InstantClips to your AI assistant
Paste one address into your assistant and sign in when it asks. That is the whole setup.
New here? InstantClips turns a product link into a short video for TikTok and Instagram, with the writing, the shot plan and the render done for you. See it at instantclips.ai, or read what the automation does.
What your assistant can do
Say "make a video for this product" and your assistant does the whole job in your account: imports the product, writes the video direction, checks it with you, renders the video and hands back the link. Your brand, your credits, your say before anything spends.
- Import a product from its page link or from its photos, into any of your brands
- Write the video direction, redraft it on your notes, and edit any line before a credit is spent
- Render the video and hand back the MP4 and a share link, ready to post
- Work through a whole catalogue, one product after another, in one conversation
- Create and switch brands, within your plan's brand limit
Built for sellers and agencies who already work in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or an agent of their own: the videos come out of the chat you're already in.
Generating a video spends your credits. The tools tell your assistant the cost first and ask for your go-ahead — but the spend is real.
1. Connect: paste the address, sign in when asked
Every assistant that speaks MCP over HTTP takes this address. The first time it calls, it sends you to sign in to InstantClips and asks you to approve it. No keys to copy.
Your assistant's address
https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp
Opens the app, adds InstantClips, and signs you in on first use.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http instantclips https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp
Then run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose InstantClips to sign in.
Codex
[mcp_servers.instantclips] url = "https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp"
Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml, one file for the CLI, the app and the IDE extension, then run codex mcp login instantclips to sign in.
Claude app and ChatGPT
Claude app: add a custom connector with this address and sign in when it asks. ChatGPT on the web: turn on Developer mode under Settings, Apps, Advanced, then add the address as a connector; on a Business or Enterprise workspace an admin publishes it as an app for everyone instead. The ChatGPT desktop app takes the same address under Settings, MCP servers, and shares it with Codex.
Any other MCP client or agent
OpenClaw, Hermes, or an agent you wrote yourself: point it at this address over streamable HTTP. The server announces its sign-in flow the standard way, so a client that follows the spec needs nothing else. Anything that cannot open a sign-in page uses a token instead, below.
Every assistant you approve is listed under Authorized apps in settings, where you can disconnect it.
2. No browser? Use an access token
Scripts, CI jobs and agents that cannot open a sign-in page authenticate with a long-lived token instead. It gives full access to your account, so keep it out of anything you commit.
Sign in to create an access token. The snippets below fill in with it.
With a token, the same clients look like this
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http instantclips https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
Codex
[mcp_servers.instantclips]
url = "https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp"
http_headers = { Authorization = "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" }
Add this to ~/.codex/config.toml — one file covers the CLI, the app and the IDE extension. To keep the token out of it, use bearer_token_env_var = "INSTANTCLIPS_TOKEN" and export it in your shell.
Claude app and ChatGPT
With a token instead: the Claude app takes it as a request header on the connector at https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp (request headers are still in beta). ChatGPT connectors sign in through the sign-in flow rather than a pasted key, so use step 1 there.
Any other MCP client or agent
OpenClaw, Hermes, or an agent you wrote yourself: point it at https://app.instantclips.ai/mcp over streamable HTTP with an Authorization: Bearer header. Nothing on the wire is InstantClips-specific.
