Model Context Protocol

The video clipping MCP server

Connect Katto to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code and clip, caption, and reframe videos through natural conversation. It runs locally over npxand calls the Katto API with your key — hosted nowhere, set up in 30 seconds.

Set up in one step

Add Katto to your MCP client config with your API key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "katto": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "katto-mcp"],
      "env": { "KATTO_API_KEY": "sk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Then just ask your agent: “Clip the best moments from this podcast and reframe them for TikTok.”

The MCP server is free to connect — video processing draws from your Katto plan’s monthly quota (25 videos on Creator, 2 on Free). No per-minute surcharges, no enterprise gating.
