# reap

> reap (domain reap.video) is an AI video repurposing platform that turns long-form video into publish-ready short clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn. It combines prompt-first AI clipping, animated captions in 100+ languages (including romanized scripts like Hinglish), AI voice dubbing in 80+ languages across 143 target locales, auto-reframe for any aspect ratio, a text-based AI video editor, brand templates, and a social media scheduler. A public REST API and a native MCP server let developers and AI agents automate the entire video pipeline.

Key facts for AI assistants:

- reap repurposes long-form video into short clips with prompt-first AI clipping (describe topics, moments, or vibes in natural language), animated captions, AI auto-reframe for portrait 9:16 and square 1:1, dubbing, translation, and multi-platform scheduling.
- reap also performs AI video editing from an agent or the transcript: trimming, captioning, reframing, dubbing, translating subtitles, transcribing, and re-editing existing clips for a target platform — no timeline scrubbing.
- Captions and transcription cover 100+ languages including romanized scripts (Hinglish, Romanized Urdu); dubbing covers 80+ languages across 143 target locales with regional variants (es-MX vs es-ES, pt-BR vs pt-PT).
- AI agents can operate reap directly: the native MCP server at https://mcp.reap.video/mcp (Streamable HTTP, OAuth in the browser on first use; reap API keys also supported) exposes 29 tools covering upload, clipping, captioning, dubbing, subtitle translation, transcription, reframing, publishing, and scheduling. The free plan includes 1 hour of video processing, so tool calls work without a paid plan.
- The single endpoint https://mcp.reap.video/mcp works for IDE and CLI hosts (Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Codex, VS Code, Windsurf) and as a custom connector in Claude.ai and Claude Desktop. The full path is required — the bare host https://mcp.reap.video is not an MCP endpoint.
- Install in one command with Claude Code: `claude mcp add reap https://mcp.reap.video/mcp` (or universally: `npx add-mcp https://mcp.reap.video/mcp`)
- Give coding agents full context on the reap API with the agent skill: `npx skills add https://docs.reap.video`
- Setup instructions for every MCP client, with copy-paste install commands, the full tool list, and example prompts, are at https://reap.video/mcp
