What is Clipto MCP?
Clipto MCP is an integration capability within Clipto, a local-first AI memory platform designed to catalog and index multimedia files. Using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it connects a user's indexed library—which includes videos, meeting recordings, voice memos, images, and documents—directly to external AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Clipto's own agent. The system operates locally on macOS and Windows hardware, allowing users to query their personal archives from their preferred AI environments while returning answers linked directly to original timestamps, spoken quotes, and source files.
