ClipForge MCP Server is a community-maintained open-source MCP layer that exposes ClipForge's keyless short-video pipeline (script → free stock footage → free TTS → captions → BGM → FFmpeg compose) to any MCP client. It produces videos without API keys and can generate scripts once an LLM is configured; it is self-hosted, watermark-free and AGPL-3.0. It suits users who want local automated production of vertical selling videos driven by AI assistants, and is not for those needing official support or unwilling to run a local instance and FFmpeg.
ClipForge (formerly "daihuo-jianshou") is an open-source AI e-commerce and UGC short-video generator: upload a product image and it extracts selling points, writes a script, keeps the product image undistorted, and adds footage, voiceover and captions to produce a vertical selling video for Douyin Shop, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, WeChat Channels and TikTok Shop; it also supports one-sentence topic videos. Its MCP server (npm package clipforge-mcp, version 0.1.4) exposes that pipeline over stdio (script → free stock footage → free TTS → captions → BGM → FFmpeg compose) to any MCP client. Footage and voiceover work keyless without an LLM, while script generation requires an OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoint. The project is AGPL-3.0 licensed, self-hosted, and keeps data on the local machine. This MCP server is maintained by the project author as a community open-source effort, not an official offering from any platform or model vendor.
