## What it does

The server links coding assistants with Clipy screen recordings. Tools like `search_memory` handle semantic and keyword lookups across saved sessions, returning exact timestamps and playback URLs. The agent can inspect recorded browser diagnostics, such as console exceptions and failed network calls, while headers and typed inputs remain scrubbed.

Beyond reading summaries, the server enables transcript-driven editing through `edit_recording` to cut pauses or purge filler words. Without the `recordings:write` scope on your API key, video modification tools will reject calls. Authentication pulls credentials automatically from `~/.config/clipy/config.json` after running `npx @clipy/cli@latest login`, or via the `CLIPY_API_KEY` environment variable.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `CLIPY_API_KEY`, `CLIPY_API_URL` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.

## When to use it
- locate video timestamps using spoken phrases
- turn bug recordings into issue reports with console logs
- trim filler words and scenes directly from the transcript
- extract failed network requests from recorded browser runs

## Example prompts
- Find the moment in my Clipy recordings where the checkout failed and fetch the transcript.
- Remove all filler words from my latest demo recording and apply click auto zoom.
- Check browser diagnostics from the bug session and summarize all logged page exceptions.
