InstantClips is a service that takes an online shop product and makes a short vertical video ad for TikTok, Instagram Reels and Stories. This MCP server connects your AI assistant to your InstantClips account, so you can ask for that video in plain words instead of clicking through the website. It is handy if you sell on Shopify, run a dropshipping store, or handle social media for several brands at once.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat. An MCP server is a small helper that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to another service. This one connects your AI to InstantClips, so when you ask for a video ad, the AI can go and set it up in your InstantClips account for you. You stay in the chat, and the work happens in InstantClips.
What this MCP server does
You paste a product link into your AI chat and ask for a video ad. The AI passes that link to InstantClips, which reads the product page: the photos, the price and the details. InstantClips then writes a plan for the video and shows it to you as text in the chat, before anything is generated. You can read the plan, ask for changes, and only when you say go does it make the actual video. Then you get back a finished vertical video file and a share link.
Click to zoomWhat you can do with it
- Import a product from a store link and get a draft plan for its video ad
- Read the plan and ask for changes, like a different hook or a different angle
- Generate the final short vertical video once you approve the plan
- Make several videos for the same product with different hooks so you can test them
- Import a whole collection page and draft plans for every product in it
- Create and manage brands, and set which brand a product belongs to
- Upload product photos from your own computer when there is no product page
Try asking your AI
- “Make a video ad for this product: [paste the product link]”
- “Import every product on this collection page and draft plans for all of them. Don't generate anything yet.”
- “Show me the plan for this product and rewrite the hook to lead with the price.”
- “Make three videos for this product with three different hooks, so I can test them.”
What it gives back to you
You get text back in the chat: the plan for the video, written out so you can read and change it. When the video is finished, you get the video file and a public share link you can post or send to someone. If you ask about your brands or products, you get a list of them. The chat also tells you what to do next at each step.
Before you start
What you need
- An InstantClips account (signing in creates one if you don't have it, with free credits for your first video)
- An MCP client that can connect to a hosted server, like Claude Code, the Claude app, Cursor, VS Code, Codex or ChatGPT
- A product page with photos, or product photos on your computer
Good to know
Generating a video spends credits from your InstantClips account, so check the plan and the cost before you say go; importing and drafting are free.
