  API + MCP for coding agents

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.

Prepaid credits · pay per clip · failed cuts never billed

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 Code one line
$ claude mcp add appsgolem \
  -e APPSGOLEM_API_KEY=ag_live_… \
  -- npx -y appsgolem-mcp
OpenAI Codex CLI config.toml

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.

Subscriptions grant the full period’s credits up front and raise your requests/hour cap. Annual plans bill 10 months for 12.

№ 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.
