Cliphi + GitHub Copilot

Clip videos with
GitHub Copilot

Copilot in VS Code can use MCP servers. Add Cliphi to your workspace and clip videos from the chat panel.

1Add Cliphi to your MCP config

In VS Code, add an MCP server: URL https://www.cliphi.com/api/mcp, your Cliphi key as the bearer token.

2Ask Copilot for clips

Give it the video link in chat; it runs submit and poll through the Cliphi tools.

3Pick from the previews

Free preview links land in the chat. Confirm your picks, and only those get made.

GitHub Copilot questions

Yes. Cliphi is added as an MCP server in your configuration, and once it is there Copilot can call it from the chat panel like any other tool. You give it a video link in the conversation and it handles the rest.

That is your choice, and it is worth making deliberately. A workspace configuration keeps Cliphi scoped to one repository, while a user-level one makes it available everywhere. Teams sharing a repo usually prefer the second so the key is not sitting in shared config.

Because a lot of software work produces video: demo recordings, conference talks, release walkthroughs and customer calls. Clipping them where you already are beats exporting a file and opening an editor to cut a thirty second highlight.

Into your MCP configuration as the bearer token. Treat that file the way you treat any other credential: keep it out of the repository, and prefer user-level configuration over anything you would commit.

Add one MCP server to your workspace and clipping joins the tools Copilot already has.
