​
Overview

Add the Reap documentation MCP server to your AI coding agent so it can search and read the full Reap API reference on the fly. Your agent gets live access to endpoints, schemas, authentication details, and workflows — no skill files to maintain. Supported agents include Cursor, VS Code, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and 30+ more.

​
Install with CLI

Run the following command in your project directory: 
npx add-mcp https://docs.reap.video/mcp
The CLI will walk you through four prompts:
1

Select Agents

Choose which agents to install to. Cursor, VS Code, and GitHub Copilot are pre-selected. You can also pick from 30+ additional agents.
2

Review Summary

Review the installation summary — server name, type (remote), scope (project), and selected agents.
3

Confirm & Install

Confirm the installation. The MCP server config is written to each agent’s config file instantly.
Done! Your agent can now search and read the Reap API docs directly during conversations.

​
Manual Setup

If you prefer to configure manually, add the following to your agent’s MCP config file.
Add to .cursor/mcp.json or .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "reap": {
      "url": "https://docs.reap.video/mcp"
    }
  }
}

​
What Can Your Agent Do With MCP?

Once connected, your agent has live access to the full Reap API documentation. You can ask it to:

Build Integrations

“Integrate Reap clipping into my Express backend”

Create Pipelines

“Build a pipeline that uploads a video, creates clips, and polls for completion”

Generate Code

“Write a Python script that creates a caption project with the Reap API”

Debug API Calls

“Why is my create-reframe call returning 400?”

​
MCP vs Agent Skills
