Ideas to try

These are our ideas, not reports from real users. We haven't found a public example of someone using this tool yet. Know one?

  • Burn captions into every Short in a folder with one request, then check the first one before running the rest
  • Ask the agent to keep captions away from faces and screen content, the way you would brief a junior editor
  • Give the agent shot rules: full screen face for punchlines, split screen for explanations, screen capture when the screen matters

What it does

Reap's own hosted MCP server with 29 tools. Your agent can upload a video, make AI clips, add captions, reframe, dub, transcribe and publish or schedule posts in the Reap workspace you pick

How to set it up

  1. Run claude mcp add --transport http --scope user reap "https://mcp.reap.video/mcp"
  2. Run /mcp in Claude Code, sign in to Reap and choose the workspace the agent may use
  3. Ask it which Reap tools it has, then try one clip

This is a plain English summary of the vendor's own MCP docs. Commands and versions change, so always follow the current docs at the source link

Safety notes

  • The agent only sees the one workspace you choose, and you can revoke it from your Reap dashboard
  • publish_clip posts right away, so read the plan before you say go

General rule: open a duplicate of your project before letting any agent make changes, and read what a script does before approving it
