Ask for a video

  • “Make a 2-minute documentary video about the fall of the Roman Empire for YouTube, with Brian's voice and captions.”
  • “Make a 45-second TikTok with 5 creepy facts about the deep ocean, a deep voiceover and bold Hormozi captions.”
  • “Make a 1-minute 3D cartoon story about a little dragon who is afraid of the dark, told by a warm narrator.”
  • “Turn my product photo into an 8-second cinematic ad with a slow push-in: [paste image link]”
  • “Make a 1-minute scary story video called “The house at the end of the road”, with a creepy narrator and captions.”
  • “Make an ultra-quality 8-second shot of a car drifting through neon Tokyo streets in the rain, with sound.”

You can also ask “How many credits do I have left?” or “Show me my last videos.”

Good to know

  • It always tells you the price first and waits for your OK before using credits.
  • It costs the same credits as making the video in the ClipNova app. Nothing extra.
  • If a video fails, your credits come back automatically.
  • Every video is also saved in your ClipNova library.
  • You need a ClipNova plan (from $19/mo) to make videos.

No plan yet? See plans. Something not working? Check that nothing comes after /api/mcp in the link, remove ClipNova from your app and add it again, or email contact@clipnova.io.

For developers: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, API keys

Claude Code (sign in with /mcp → Authenticate, or add an API key header):

claude mcp add --transport http clipnova https://app.clipnova.io/api/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json), VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json, use "servers" and "type": "http") and any other client:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipnova": {
      "url": "https://app.clipnova.io/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
  • Create or revoke API keys in Profile → API & MCP. A key is shown once.
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP (stateless, POST). Without a key the server answers 401 with OAuth discovery metadata (MCP authorization spec).
