Drive ClipWisp headless.
Everything the studio does is callable: a REST API, the clipwisp CLI, and an MCP server your agent talks to directly. Auth is a per-user API key — create one in Settings → API keys (shown once, prefixed cw_).
One key, every capability.
Send your key as a bearer token. Sources, candidate scans, renders, and packaging are all plain JSON over HTTPS with typed error codes and idempotent renders. Sources: YouTube, TikTok, X/Twitter, Instagram, Twitch & Kick VODs, Vimeo, Reddit — or direct uploads up to 2 GB.
# add a source
curl -X POST https://api.clipwisp.io/api/v1/sources \
-H "Authorization: Bearer cw_YOUR_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..."}'
# scan it for moments, then render candidate #1
POST /api/v1/creator-clips/candidates { "sourceId": "src_..." }
POST /api/v1/creator-clips/render { "sourceId": "src_...", "candidateId": "...", "idempotencyKey": "..." }The full request/response contract lives in docs/platform-api-contract.md in the repo — every endpoint, error code, and quota rule.
URL → rendered clip in three commands.
$ clipwisp login --api-key cw_YOUR_KEY $ clipwisp sources add "https://youtu.be/..." --wait $ clipwisp clips find src_... --preset 30_60 $ clipwisp clips render src_... --candidate 1 --wait --out clip.mp4 --srt clip.srt
Built for scripts and agents: --json on every command prints pure API JSON to stdout, and exit codes are the contract (0 ok, 2 API error, 3 timeout, 4 unsupported input).
Install: npm install -g clipwisp — or run it without installing via npx clipwisp.
Give your agent the studio.
Eight tools — list/add sources, find moments, render, download, package — over the Model Context Protocol. One command for Claude Code:
claude mcp add clipwisp -e CLIPWISP_API_KEY=cw_your_key -- npx -y clipwisp-mcp
Or in any MCP client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"clipwisp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "clipwisp-mcp"],
"env": { "CLIPWISP_API_KEY": "cw_your_key" }
}
}
}Renders accept an idempotencyKey, so agent retries never double-charge.
