Connect Claude & ChatGPT to OpusClip

Give your AI a link to a long video and it starts an OpusClip project that cuts it into short clips. It can list the finished clips, read the transcript, sort clips into collections, generate captions and thumbnails, and post or schedule a clip to a social account you have connected in OpusClip.

Questions

What can the AI do in OpusClip?

It can start clip projects from a video link, list clips, collections, brand templates and connected social accounts, and read transcripts. It can create collections and add clips to them, generate captions and thumbnails, change a project's visibility, post a clip now, schedule a post and cancel a scheduled post.

Does the AI see my OpusClip credentials?

No. Your OpusClip credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start without posting. Posting or scheduling a clip publishes it publicly on your social account, and cancelling a scheduled post cannot be undone, so these can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own OpusClip account.

Which OpusClip plan do I need?

According to OpusClip, API access is available on the Pro (Beta), Max and Business plans. When you have one of these, your organization's API key is in the lower left corner of the dashboard at clip.opus.pro.
