MCP server

YouTube for your AI assistant

Assistants can't watch YouTube. With the KnowledgeClip MCP server, Claude, Cursor or VS Code get a structured note of any video — sections, key points and timestamps — and can search everything you have saved.

1. Create an API key

2. Add the server to your client

The server lives at https://api.knowledgeclip.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Replace kc_YOUR_KEY with your key.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http knowledgeclip https://api.knowledgeclip.app/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer kc_YOUR_KEY"

Cursor~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "knowledgeclip": {
      "url": "https://api.knowledgeclip.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer kc_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "knowledgeclip": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.knowledgeclip.app/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer kc_YOUR_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

claude.ai and ChatGPT connect only via OAuth — that is coming next.
