Cline#

Connect ClipKit to Cline — the open-source autonomous coding agent for VS Code and JetBrains — so it can author and preview ClipKit videos in your IDE.

ClipKit's connector is open (no key) and speaks Streamable HTTP at https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp.

Add the connector#

Open the MCP Servers panel → Add remote server, and when prompted for the transport pick Streamable HTTP (not SSE). Or edit cline_mcp_settings.json directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clipkit": {
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "url": "https://www.clipkit.dev/mcp",
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Verify#

The clipkit entry in the MCP Servers panel shows a green indicator and expands to list its tools. Or prompt Cline: "use the clipkit tools to validate my project."

Notes#

  • Critical: the type must be exactly "streamableHttp" (camelCase, no hyphen). Omitting it — or using "streamable-http" / "http" — makes Cline fall back to legacy SSE, which hits ClipKit's disabled /sse endpoint and fails.
  • No Authorization header — the server is open.
  • transcribe_to_captions won't appear — it's local-only.
