Clipcliper MCP server
by Inmoprice
Turn a public YouTube, Twitch, Kick or TikTok link into a timestamped transcript, chapters and clip ideas.
Clipcliper is a helper that lets your AI read a public video for you. You paste a link, and your AI comes back with a transcript with timestamps, a list of chapters and suggestions for the best moments to clip. It is handy if you work with video content and want to find quotes or highlights without watching the whole thing.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI one new skill. This server gives your AI a connection to Clipcliper, a service that listens to videos and writes down what is said. So when you ask your AI about a video, it can send the link to Clipcliper and bring the answer back to your chat.
What this MCP server does
You give your AI a public video link from YouTube, Twitch, Kick or TikTok. Your AI passes that link to Clipcliper. Clipcliper downloads the video, transcribes the speech with Whisper and then deletes the video file. You get back the transcript with timestamps, plus chapters and clip suggestions if you want them. The transcript stays available for 24 hours, so you can ask for it again without paying twice.

Try asking your AI

- “What are the main chapters of this Twitch VOD?”

- “Turn this Kick VOD into SRT subtitles”
What it gives back to you
You get text back in your chat. The transcript comes as lines with timestamps, or as plain text, SRT or JSON segments if you ask. Chapters come as a list with start, end, title and a one-line summary. Clip suggestions come as a list with start, end, a hook-style title and a short reason. If the video is still being processed, you get a note saying so and you can ask again.
