Frequently asked questions

MCP is an open protocol that lets AI agents connect to external tools via a single standard interface. The reap MCP server uses it to give agents agentic video editing capabilities across Claude, Cursor, and more.

The official hosted endpoint is https://mcp.reap.video/mcp. Add this URL to your MCP client configuration—no local installation required. Or install via CLI: npx add-mcp https://mcp.reap.video/mcp

Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and any MCP-compatible client. The MCP integration works with all supported clients out of the box via the hosted endpoint.

Yes. Drop a YouTube link into Claude or Cursor and ask it to find viral moments, add captions, and export shorts. The reap MCP server handles clipping, captioning, reframing, and delivery automatically.

Reap exposes a machine-readable index at docs.reap.video/llms.txt and an OpenAPI spec at docs.reap.video/openapi.json. Combined with the MCP endpoint, agents have full discovery of every endpoint and workflow.

Agents can detect viral moments, clip shorts, add animated captions in 100+ languages, dub in 80+ languages, translate subtitles, reframe for any aspect ratio, and batch-process content libraries from a single prompt.

No. Sign up free at app.reap.video, then the first time your AI tool connects, you sign in through OAuth in your browser and pick the workspace it can use. There’s no API key to copy. The free plan includes 1 hour of video processing.

Same AI video API, different interface. The REST API is for programmatic backend integrations. The MCP server lets AI agents call the same endpoints through natural conversation in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.

MCP gives your AI agent live tool access for video actions. The Reap agent skill gives coding agents full documentation context to generate correct integration code faster. Use both together for the best experience.

The MCP endpoint is free to connect. Video processing uses credits from your reap plan. Free includes 1 hour; paid plans start at $9.99/month with higher resolution, dubbing, translation, and all premium features.
