# Connect Reap MCP Server

> Connect Reap to MCP-compatible AI tools so your agent can create clips, captions, reframes, dubbing projects, and published posts from your workspace.

> **For AI agents:** a documentation index is at [/llms.txt](/llms.txt). Every page is also available as markdown, just append `.md` to the URL.

## What Is Reap MCP?

Reap MCP lets AI tools connect to your Reap workspace through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). After you connect it, you can ask an AI agent to create clips, add captions, reframe videos, dub videos, check project status, retrieve clip links, and publish or schedule content from Reap.

You do not need to copy an API key into your AI tool. Reap MCP uses OAuth, so you sign in to Reap and choose the workspace the agent is allowed to use.

## Before You Start

* Reap MCP works on every Reap plan. The Free plan includes one MCP connection.
* Your AI tool must support remote MCP servers.
* You need access to the Reap workspace you want to connect.

## Reap MCP Server URL

The endpoint is the same in every tool:

```text theme={"system"}
https://mcp.reap.video/mcp
```

## Pick Your Tool

Each guide has the exact setup steps for that tool:

<Tip>
  In any agent that can edit its own config, paste this into the chat:

  ```text theme={"system"}
  Add reap to my user-scoped MCP servers and connect:

  "reap": {
    "url": "https://mcp.reap.video/mcp"
  }
  ```

  The agent writes the config and starts the sign-in flow below.
</Tip>

## Authorize Your Reap Workspace

No matter which agent you connect, the authorization flow works the same way:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in to Reap">
    Log in to the Reap account that has access to the workspace you want to connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the workspace">
    Select the Reap workspace your agent is allowed to use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize access">
    Click **Authorize**. The agent only gets access to the workspace you selected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Return to your AI tool">
    Close the browser tab after authentication succeeds, then return to your agent and continue your workflow.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Confirm The Connection Works

After connecting, try asking your agent:

```text theme={"system"}
What Reap tools do you have access to?
```

You can also try:

```text theme={"system"}
Show me my recent Reap projects.
```

If the agent can list Reap tools or access your selected workspace, the connection is working.

## What You Can Ask Your Agent To Do

Once connected, your agent can help with workflows like:

* Generate AI clips from a video upload or supported source URL.
* Add captions to a video.
* Reframe a video into portrait or square format.
* Dub a video into another language.
* Transcribe a video.
* Check project status and retrieve generated clip links.
* Publish or schedule clips to connected social platforms.

<Warning>
  Publishing or scheduling content can affect public social accounts. Your agent should ask for confirmation before posting, scheduling, or changing published content.
</Warning>

## Things To Note

* Reap MCP uses OAuth, so you do not need to paste a Reap API key into your AI tool.
* Your agent only has access to the Reap workspace you authorize.
* You can revoke access later from your Reap dashboard.
* If your AI tool does not show Reap tools after connecting, restart the tool or reconnect the MCP server.
* If publishing tools fail, make sure your social accounts are connected in Reap.

## Troubleshooting

* The Free plan includes one MCP connection. If you've already used it, see [Manage Or Revoke MCP Connections](/help-center/manage-or-revoke-mcp-connections).
* Confirm you authorized the correct workspace during OAuth.
* If the browser does not open automatically, copy the authorization URL from your agent and open it manually.
* If tools do not appear, reconnect the MCP server or restart your AI tool.
* If publishing fails, check that your social accounts are connected in Reap.

For tool-specific fixes, see the troubleshooting section on your tool's page above.
