What is the reap MCP server URL?

https://mcp.reap.video/mcp, a hosted MCP endpoint over streamable HTTP. Auth: OAuth.

Does reap MCP need an API key?

No key to paste: it uses OAuth. Your MCP client opens a sign-in page the first time it connects.

How do I add reap MCP to Claude Code?

Run claude mcp add --transport http --scope user reap https://mcp.reap.video/mcp, then sign in when Claude Code asks (or run /mcp, pick the server and choose Authenticate).

Why does reap MCP return 401 or ask for authorization?

That is expected. On Nov 10, 2026 its endpoint answered mcp.film's anonymous check with a sign-in challenge and published OAuth metadata. Complete the sign-in in your client; tools are listed only after it.

Is reap MCP official?

Yes, reap maintains it. mcp.film last verified the listing on Oct 24, 2026.

Caveats

publish_clip, schedule_clips and update_publisher_post post publicly to connected accounts; treat them as irreversible and gate them yourself.
It works on every plan, but processing draws on plan credits, so free-tier agents hit the quota fast.
The billing tools return Stripe checkout links; nothing charges without a human clicking, but do not let an agent surface them unprompted.
Clipping quality depends on reap's moment detection, which you cannot tune, and there is no source repo.

What it does

reap's official remote MCP turns a finished long cut into distribution assets without a timeline: prompt-driven moment detection pulls short clips out of a video or YouTube URL, then captions them in 100+ languages, dubs them into 80+ with voice matching, and auto-reframes to 9:16 or 1:1 with face tracking. It also carries the last mile — connected-account publishing and scheduling to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn and X — which makes it the delivery end of an agent pipeline rather than another generation tool.

Auth

OAuth — One-time browser OAuth against a reap account; the endpoint serves OAuth protected-resource metadata and no API key is needed for MCP.

Field notes

Full curator notes (verified Oct 24, 2026)

Endpoint, OAuth flow, the claude mcp add command and the 29-tool surface are unchanged on re-check (24 Oct 2026). The paywall has moved: the API reference no longer says the MCP needs a paid plan and now states it 'works on every Reap plan', with the Free plan including one MCP connection — processing still draws on plan credits, so free-tier agents hit the quota fast. The billing group includes top_up_media_credits and manage_subscription, which return Stripe checkout and billing-portal links; nothing charges without a human clicking, but do not let an agent surface them unprompted. Three of the 29 tools — publish_clip, schedule_clips, update_publisher_post — post publicly to connected social accounts, and the docs require the agent to confirm before running them; treat them as irreversible and gate them yourself. The marketing page at reap.video/mcp still contradicts the API reference, claiming '10 tools' in one place and '8 MCP Tools' in another, and listing export_video and translate_subtitles, which do not appear among the 29 documented tools; trust the API reference. That page also offers `npx add-mcp https://mcp.reap.video/mcp` as a shortcut, which is a third-party installer rather than reap's own — the claude mcp add form above is the direct route. There is no source repo, and clipping quality depends on reap's moment detection rather than anything you can tune.
