 **The AI video clipping MCP server.** Turn long videos into scored, captioned, vertical 9:16 short clips from any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, VS Code, and other conformant clients). Drop in a YouTube link, a podcast, or a Twitch VOD and get publish-ready shorts back through natural conversation.
 
 Powered by [Katto](https://katto.tech), an AI video clipper that turns long-form video (podcasts, interviews, streams, webinars) into short-form clips for TikTok, Reels and YouTube Shorts. Katto is a flat-priced, no-credits alternative to tools like OpusClip: one 25-video quota covers videos up to 90 minutes each, with the API and MCP included on every paid plan (not gated behind an enterprise tier).

+## Security & data
+
+- **Hosted auth is OAuth 2.1** — the API key is never written to your disk, and you can revoke a connected client anytime from your Katto account settings.
+- **Local auth uses a scoped `sk_live_` key** you create yourself; keys can be read-only, and the npx server only sends it to `KATTO_API_URL` (default `katto.tech`) over HTTPS.
+- `katto_get_webhook_secret` returns a signing secret — handle it like any credential; it is only needed to verify inbound webhook signatures.
