Cursor ⇄ SwiftyClip

Cursor's Composer speaks MCP. Once SwiftyClip's server is registered, you can clip and schedule short-form content right next to your code.

1. Install SwiftyClip

Get the notarized DMG from /download. Launch it once; the loopback bridge starts automatically so Cursor can reach it.

2. Register the MCP server

In Cursor: Settings → Features → MCP → Add Server.

{
  "name": "swiftyclip",
  "command": "swiftyclip",
  "args": ["mcp"]
}

Restart the Composer. You'll see ten swiftyclip.clip.* tools in the tool list.

3. Prompt the Composer

Use swiftyclip to clip ~/Movies/ep.mp4. Analyze, score, and render the 3 highest-scored segments with bold captions. Save to ~/Desktop/clips/.

Cursor will call clip.ingest → clip.analyze → clip.scoreSegments → clip.render (× 3). You stay in Cursor the whole time.

Why this combination works

Cursor is where many creators already write their scripts, blog posts, and marketing copy. Putting the clipper one prompt away — and keeping the actual ML work on-device — turns content repurposing into an IDE command.
