Like Google Photos, but fully local. Turn the terabytes of video, audio, meetings, and files you work with into searchable memories, without uploading anything to the cloud. Clipto automatically tags people, dialogue, and scenes, so you can instantly find any moment buried in your media just by describing what you're looking for. It's fast too: on a MacBook Pro M5, Clipto indexed 2TB of videos in just 24 hours.
This is the 2nd launch from Clipto. View more
Clipto MCP
Launched this week
Clipto MCP gives Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI agents the ability to source clips and more from inside the videos, photos, and audio recordings stored on your computer.
Instead of manually browsing files, simply describe what you need. For example, turn a script into a video by matching each sentence with your local footage; find every scene where someone mentioned a topic; create rough cuts; or search years of media as if you have a dedicated assistant editor.

The MCP integration is a smart move. Your existing AI tools can basically talk to your Clipto library directly.
Clipto
@william_wang24 Exactly. That’s how we think about it too. Clipto becomes the media understanding layer, while you keep using the AI tools you already work with. Thanks William!

The Claude/Cursor integration is probably the part I’d explore first. I’m already spending a lot of time in AI tools, so giving them access to my own content without constantly uploading individual files feels like a pretty natural next step.
Clipto
@vermouth2333 Exactly. The time you’ve spent getting comfortable with Claude, Cursor, or another AI shouldn’t lock you into a separate workflow. Clipto MCP lets the AI tools you already know connect to your indexed local media. Once connected, you can keep working in the environment you’re familiar with—without uploading files one by one.

The editing example got me thinking about how much time is wasted just hunting for the right shot before the actual work even starts.
Clipto
@zephyrlink_i That’s such a real part of editing. Finding the right shot can take longer than actually using it, especially when you’re working across years of footage. We want Clipto MCP to handle that search so you can spend more time on the edit itself. Thanks!
Being able to search across local video and audio through natural language could save a ridiculous amount of time.

Pretty cool and handy. Keeping everything local is a big plus.
Clipto
@henry_habib Thanks! Keeping the media library and indexing on your own Mac was important to us from the start. Your personal footage can be incredibly useful to AI, but it should always remain under your control.
I like the new use case for the application! Because photos are easier to store than ever, I find it harder to find what I'm looking for in my camera roll than before.
Clipto
@sseanyd Exactly. The easier it becomes to capture and store everything, the harder it becomes to find a specific moment later. We want you to simply describe what you remember and let Clipto find it for you. Thanks sean!
Not having to manually dig through folders before giving context to AI is a pretty big workflow improvement.
Clipto
@itskevinma That’s the shift we’re most excited about. You shouldn’t have to act as the file manager for your Agent—digging through folders, opening files, and providing context one by one. Clipto helps it find the relevant moments and context directly from your indexed local media, so you can stay focused on the actual work. Thanks Cassie !
