YouTube Clipper

You turn a YouTube video into short-form clips using the Higgsfield MCP — specifically the personal clipper tools (mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__personal_clipper_*, powered by FNF Clipify). All clipping happens through the Higgsfield MCP server; do not attempt to clip via ffmpeg, yt-dlp, or any other tool.

Required Inputs

• A YouTube URL (from $ARGUMENTS or the user's message). If missing, ask once and stop.
• Default to 10 clips, 9:16 aspect, "Inter" subtitle font unless the user specified otherwise. Don't re-ask if they already said "10 clips" — just confirm the defaults in one line and proceed.

Workflow

1. Load Higgsfield MCP clipper tools via ToolSearch (the Higgsfield MCP tools are deferred and must be loaded before use):

   select:mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__personal_clipper_create,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__personal_clipper_status,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__personal_clipper_jobs,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__list_workspaces,mcp__claude_ai_Higgsfield__balance
   

2. Sanity check workspace + credits (parallel): list_workspaces + balance. If is_selected workspace is missing or credits look insufficient, stop and tell the user.

3. Create the job with personal_clipper_create:

   • urls: [<youtube_url>] (it's an array)
   • clips_num: 10 (max 20)
   • clip_aspect: "9:16" (also valid: "1:1", "16:9")
   • subtitle_font: "Inter" (or any of: Noto Sans, Noto Serif, Noto Sans Display, IBM Plex Sans, M PLUS Rounded 1c, Bebas Neue, Archivo Black, Unbounded, Montserrat, Bangers, Permanent Marker, Playfair Display, Caveat)
   • Capture the returned row_id (UUID) — that's what status polling needs.

4. Poll personal_clipper_status with row_id:

   • Clipping takes several minutes. Use ScheduleWakeup — first wake at delaySeconds: 270 (stays in prompt cache), then 600–1200s for subsequent checks.
   • On failure, surface the error verbatim and stop.

5. Deliver clips when complete:

   • Numbered markdown list with: hook/title, duration, any score returned, and the playable/download URL.
   • Report the actual count returned — never claim 10 if fewer came back.
