Clipto MCP - Let agents source clips from terabytes of your local video

by
•
Clipto MCP gives Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI agents the ability to source clips and more from inside the videos, photos, and audio recordings stored on your computer. Instead of manually browsing files, simply describe what you need. For example, turn a script into a video by matching each sentence with your local footage; find every scene where someone mentioned a topic; create rough cuts; or search years of media as if you have a dedicated assistant editor.

Pretty cool and handy. Keeping everything local is a big plus.

Maker

 Thanks! Keeping the media library and indexing on your own Mac was important to us from the start. Your personal footage can be incredibly useful to AI, but it should always remain under your control.

I’d love to see more examples of Claude or Cursor taking the retrieved content and turning it into a finished project.

Maker

 Thanks! That’s where combining Clipto with Claude or Cursor opens up a lot of possibilities. We’ve added some recommended prompts in both the app and on our website to help you explore these workflows.

For anyone who wants to try it but doesn’t have enough footage ready, we’ve also prepared a starter library with 1,000 general-purpose clips. You can download it here:

We’d love to see what you create!

This is so cool, I desperately needed something of this sort for so long

Maker

 So glad this resonates. We built Clipto for exactly that feeling—knowing the moment exists somewhere in your library, but having no practical way to find it. We’ve included an invite code on our Product Hunt page that gives you a 30-day free trial. Give it a try and let us know what you think. Thanks Maunil!

Maker

 Thanks! Please give it a try! Would love to see what you create!

Congrats on this launch! Amazing product!

Maker
Thanks Wood. Really appreciate the support.

This feels especially useful for projects where the context is spread across dozens or hundreds of files.

Maker
Exactly what inspired us to develop this product in the first place. We feel the same pain on a daily basis.
Maker

 That’s a big part of what we wanted to solve. When context is spread across hundreds of files, you shouldn’t have to remember where each piece came from. Clipto can search across the whole library and bring the relevant moments together for you.

Maker
“Unifying context on the edge” is how I’d put it.

Congrats!

Thanks Daniel for your support

 Daniel, thanks so much!

Not having to manually dig through folders before giving context to AI is a pretty big workflow improvement.

Maker

 That’s the shift we’re most excited about. You shouldn’t have to act as the file manager for your Agent—digging through folders, opening files, and providing context one by one. Clipto helps it find the relevant moments and context directly from your indexed local media, so you can stay focused on the actual work. Thanks Cassie !

Congratulations on the launch!

Maker
