Ideas to try

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?

  • Give the agent shot rules: full screen face for punchlines, split screen for explanations, screen capture when the screen matters
  • Pick the moments yourself and let the agent do the cropping, captions and export

What it does

Riverside's own hosted MCP server. Your agent can search transcripts across your recordings, cut edits and clips, add captions, lower thirds and branding, export, and publish or schedule posts

How to set it up

  1. Run claude mcp add --transport http --scope user riverside https://mcp.riverside.com/mcp
  2. Open Claude Code, run /mcp and sign in to Riverside
  3. Ask it to find a moment in your last recording and cut a 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

  • It can export and publish to your connected social accounts, so ask for the plan first
  • On personal ChatGPT plans it only does read only tasks
  • You still record in Riverside. The MCP works on what is already in your account

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