## What it does

Clipwave connects your coding agent to a hosted video editing environment via HTTP MCP. Around 20 tools expose controls to pick video models, poll generation jobs, position audio and video slices across separate tracks, and render the final MP4.

You need an active Clipwave account to use the service. Creating videos or pictures costs account credits, while metadata checks, timeline edits, transitions, and subtitle rendering run without fees. Interactive clients authenticate through OAuth 2.0 automatically, while headless agents or CI pipelines can authenticate using a Bearer token or the `@clipwave/mcp` stdio package.
