Cut YouTube clips from your coding agent.
Connect one MCP server to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or any MCP client. Ask in plain language — your agent cuts the clip, waits for it to render, and hands back a download link. No SDK, no glue code.
you › cut 0:30–1:15 from youtu.be/aqz-KE-bpKQ in 4K agent › calling cut_youtube_video… waiting — produced in 41s ✓ produced · 4 credits https://appsgolem.com/v1/download/…/clip.mp4
Three steps, then just ask.
№ 01 / Connect
Add the appsgolem MCP server to your agent with one line and your API key. It runs over npx — nothing to install.
№ 02 / Ask
Tell the agent what you want in plain language — a range, a format, a resolution. It picks the tool and fills the arguments for you.
№ 03 / Get the file
The agent polls until the clip renders, then hands back a tokenized download URL — the finished MP4, MP3, GIF or frames.
One config block. Any agent.
Generate a key in your dashboard — keys look like ag_live_… and are shown once. Then point your agent at the server:
$ claude mcp add appsgolem \ -e APPSGOLEM_API_KEY=ag_live_… \ -- npx -y appsgolem-mcp
[mcp_servers.appsgolem] command = "npx" args = ["-y", "appsgolem-mcp"] env = { APPSGOLEM_API_KEY = "ag_live_…" }
{ "mcpServers": {
"appsgolem": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "appsgolem-mcp"],
"env": { "APPSGOLEM_API_KEY": "ag_live_…" }
} } }
# same stdio server, same env var command: npx -y appsgolem-mcp env: APPSGOLEM_API_KEY=ag_live_…
Published on npm as appsgolem-mcp · stdio transport · works with any Model Context Protocol client.
What to type. Every clip, word for word.
Paste the video link, then say what you want. You never touch the API — the agent picks the tool and fills the arguments. Copy any line below and swap in your own times.

№ 03 / How credits work
What a cut costs.
- Standard clip (up to 1080p; audio-only at any resolution)1 credit
- 4K (2160p) video clip4 credits
- Source longer than 2 h (when known)+1 / job
- Batch of N clips (zip or stitch)N × per-clip
Worked example
Three 1080p highlights + one 4K clip from a 25-min video → 3×1 + 4 = 7 credits.
A 3-hour podcast trimmed to one MP3 → 1 + 1 = 2 credits (the +1 is the >2 h surcharge).
№ 04 / FAQ
Good to know.
What is a credit?
One produced clip = one credit. 4K clips are 4, and a batch multiplies by the number of clips.
Do credits expire?
Pack credits stay valid for 12 months. Subscription credits last the billing period they were granted in.
What’s the requests/hour cap?
How many API calls you can submit per hour. Packs keep the default 30; Pro raises it to 60 and Scale to 120.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Subscriptions cancel with one click; you keep any credits already granted until they expire.
What if a cut fails?
Failed cuts are never billed — reserved credits are refunded automatically while the grant is still valid.
Can I mix packs and a plan?
Yes. Pack and subscription credits stack; the earliest-expiring bucket is always spent first.
