## What it does

OpusClip runs as a hosted MCP endpoint over HTTP with OAuth authentication. No API keys are required. On the first tool call, a browser tab prompts you to log into the service and grant permissions. The server takes a video file or link, finds engaging moments, and reframes footage to vertical.

Available tools handle transcripts, styled captions, and social media text with hashtags. You can also send ready clips directly to connected social accounts. Another function checks remaining account credits.

Clients lacking remote HTTP support can use the npm or PyPI proxy launchers. Running the package with `uvx` still requires Node.js 18 or newer in your `PATH`.
