Overview

Both Claude tools connect to the same Reap MCP endpoint over OAuth. You sign in to Reap and pick the workspace the tool is allowed to use. The setup differs:
  • Claude chat (web and desktop): add Reap as a custom connector in settings.
  • Claude Code (terminal): add Reap with one command, then run /mcp to sign in.
You never paste a Reap API key into either tool.

​
Before You Start

  • Your Reap workspace must be on a paid plan with API access enabled.
  • You need access to the Reap workspace you want to connect.
  • For Claude chat, custom connectors are available on paid plans. On Team and Enterprise workspaces, an admin may need to allow custom connectors.
  • For Claude Code, install it and sign in first.

​
Reap MCP Server URL

The endpoint is the same in both tools:

4

Enable Reap in your chat

​
Connect Claude Code

Use this when you want Reap available in the Claude Code CLI.
1

Add the server

Run this in your terminal:
To make Reap available in every project instead of just the current one, add it at user scope:
2

Start the sign-in flow

In Claude Code, run:
Select reap and choose to authenticate. Claude Code opens the Reap authorization page in your browser.
3

Choose a workspace and authorize

Sign in to Reap, select the workspace Claude Code is allowed to use, and click Authorize. Close the tab when you see Authentication successful, then return to your terminal.
You can skip the manual setup entirely. Just ask Claude Code to do it: “Add reap to my user-scoped MCP servers using https://mcp.reap.video/mcp and connect.”

​
Confirm The Connection Works

In Claude Code, check the server list:
Or run /mcp, where reap should show as connected. In either tool, ask:

​
What You Can Ask For

In Claude Code you can also point at a local file: “Upload ~/Videos/launch.mp4 and dub it into Spanish.” Claude chat has no access to your filesystem, so upload the video in Reap first.

​
Troubleshooting

Claude chat
  • No Reap tools in the chat? Make sure the Reap connector is toggled on for that conversation. Connectors are enabled per chat.
  • No “Add custom connector” button? Custom connectors need a paid plan, and Team or Enterprise admins may have to allow them first.
Claude Code
  • Server shows as failed? Run claude mcp list to see the error, then re-add the server with the exact URL above.
  • Stuck unauthenticated? Run /mcp, select reap, and choose to re-authenticate. If the browser does not open, copy the URL from the terminal.
  • Reap missing in another project? The default scope is local to one project. Re-add it with --scope user.
Both
  • Wrong workspace? Reconnect and pick the correct workspace on the Reap authorization screen.
  • Publishing fails? Confirm your social accounts are connected in Reap.
