ClipUGC CLI

ClipUGC makes UGC videos for mobile apps with an AI influencer who keeps the same face in every video, with your app's screen recording inside the finished 9:16 video. This repo is its official CLI, local MCP server and Claude Code plugin. Create AI influencers, generate photorealistic looks of the same person, turn them into silent-reaction clips, and put your app recording into a ready-to-post UGC video. Nothing renders locally.

Three ways in:

The hosted server is also the quickest free start: give it an App Store or Google Play link and its first_videos tool makes three finished videos at no cost.

npm install -g clipugc
clipugc auth login

Requires Node.js >= 20. Create an API key in the ClipUGC dashboard (API keys section). API keys are available on paid plans (Professional and Business). The hosted MCP server needs no key.

Use it with Claude Code

The fastest way in: this repo ships three Claude Code skills, so you describe what you want instead of learning flags. clipugc drives the CLI conversationally, ugc-director turns an app idea into a complete UGC video plan, and persona-account runs an ongoing AI creator account.

/plugin marketplace add clipugc/ClipUGC-CLI
/plugin install clipugc@ClipUGC-CLI

Installed as a plugin, the skills are namespaced under it:

/clipugc:ugc-director make a TikTok video for my habit tracker app
/clipugc:persona-account create an AI influencer for a fitness account
/clipugc:clipugc how many credits do I have left

(Cloning the repo instead? Claude Code reads .claude/skills/ directly and the skills are unprefixed, /ugc-director, /persona-account, /clipugc.)

See docs/skills.md for what each skill knows.

Prefer flags? Everything below works standalone, the skills just drive the same CLI.

Hosted MCP server: Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI

These use the hosted ClipUGC server at https://clipugc.com/mcp (39 tools, OAuth 2.1 sign-in, works on every plan including free). Nothing runs on your machine and there is no API key to copy: the first call opens a browser so you can sign in with your ClipUGC account.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http clipugc https://clipugc.com/mcp

Claude.ai: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector. Name it ClipUGC, paste https://clipugc.com/mcp, and sign in when Claude asks.

ChatGPT: Settings > Apps (Connectors on older versions) > Advanced > turn on Developer mode > Create. Name ClipUGC, the same URL, authentication OAuth. Developer mode is on Plus and Pro and not yet offered in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK. Step-by-step guide.

Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/clipugc/ClipUGC-CLI

This adds the hosted server, a short guide (GEMINI.md) and the skills.

Cursor

Once the ClipUGC plugin is listed in the Cursor Marketplace, install it there to get the server and the skills. Until then, add the server by hand in Settings > MCP or .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipugc": {
