Getting started

From zero to your agent producing finished, exported videos — three steps, no API keys.

Install

1

Connect the Clueso MCP

This is the only capability the skills need — the Clueso MCP handles projects, clips, motion, voiceover, and export. The server URL is:

https://connect.clueso.io/mcp

Pick your agent:

This setup requires a ChatGPT paid plan (Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu).

  1. Open ChatGPT and go to Settings.
  2. Click Apps, then enable Developer Mode.
  3. Click Add (or Create) and enter the following URL:https://connect.clueso.io/mcp
  4. Name it Clueso and save.
  5. Authorize via the browser sign-in.
  6. In chat, click the + icon → More Developer mode to activate.

To verify: ask your agent “Show me my most recently updated Clueso project” and approve the tool call.

2

Install the skills

The installer detects your agent and installs all skills:

$npx skills add desklamp-developers/skills

Or pick a single skill:

$npx skills add desklamp-developers/skills --skill brief-to-launch-video

Claude Code users can alternatively install via the plugin marketplace: /plugin marketplace add desklamp-developers/skills

3

Ask for a video

“Make a launch video for our new feature.” “Turn this help article into an explainer.” “Polish this screen recording.” Your agent picks the right skill, scripts, composes, narrates — and hands you an exported video.

FAQ

What is an Agent Skill?

A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file — step-by-step instructions an AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, and 20+ others) loads on demand to perform a specialized task. These skills teach agents how to create and edit videos with Clueso.

Do I need any API keys?

No. Every skill here runs on the Clueso MCP and nothing else — no external APIs, no local binaries, no configuration. Connect the Clueso MCP in your agent and run one npx command: npx skills add desklamp-developers/skills

How do I install a single skill?

Add --skill to the install command, e.g. npx skills add desklamp-developers/skills --skill brief-to-launch-video. Claude Code users can alternatively use /plugin marketplace add desklamp-developers/skills.

What is the Clueso MCP?

Clueso is an AI video platform. Its MCP server exposes video creation to agents — projects, clips, motion elements, AI voiceover, and export — so an agent can produce a finished video end to end.

Which agents are supported?

Any agent that supports Agent Skills: Claude Code, claude.ai, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, Cline, Roo Code, Amp, opencode, Zed, GitHub Copilot, and more. The npx installer detects your agent automatically.

Can I contribute a skill?

Yes — the repository is open source under Apache-2.0. Copy the template, follow the authoring spec (declare every dependency; Clueso-MCP-only skills are strongly preferred), and open a pull request.
