sipsip inside your AI agent
Give Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client a video, podcast or article link. sipsip sends back the transcript, a summary and the key points, billed in your plan's credits.
1. Create a key
On a paid plan, open Settings, find MCP & API keys, and create a key. Copy it right away; it is shown once.
2. Add sipsip to your agent
Server URL: https://sipsip.ai/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP). Send your key as a bearer token.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http sipsip https://sipsip.ai/api/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SIPSIP_KEY"Codex
Add the server to your config, then set the key in your shell.
# ~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.sipsip]
url = "https://sipsip.ai/api/mcp"
bearer_token_env_var = "SIPSIP_API_KEY"export SIPSIP_API_KEY="YOUR_SIPSIP_KEY"VS Code (GitHub Copilot)
// .vscode/mcp.json
{
"servers": {
"sipsip": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://sipsip.ai/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_SIPSIP_KEY" }
}
}
}Cursor and other clients
Any client that supports remote MCP servers with custom headers works the same way.
// ~/.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"sipsip": {
"url": "https://sipsip.ai/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_SIPSIP_KEY" }
}
}
}3. Ask for it
For example: “Summarize this talk with sipsip and turn the key points into a checklist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…”

Frequently asked questions
Everything about connecting sipsip to your AI agent.
It connects sipsip to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Your agent sends sipsip a link to a video, podcast episode, audio file or article and gets back the transcript, a summary and the key points, so it can work with the content directly.
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and VS Code (GitHub Copilot), plus any MCP client that can connect to a remote Streamable HTTP server and send an Authorization header.
YouTube videos, TikTok and Instagram Reels, podcast episodes (including Apple Podcasts and Spotify), direct audio links and web articles. Videos without captions are transcribed from the audio.
Anyone on a paid plan (Hobby, Standard or Pro). Create a key in Settings. If your plan ends, your keys stop working until you subscribe again.
With the same credits as the app. A distill uses credits by length, exactly as it would in Distill. Reading results and transcripts is free. There is no separate API bill.
Every job also appears in your My Sip, so you can open, share or export it later.
Not yet. The MCP server returns text: transcripts, summaries and key points. Use Converter in the app for files.
Treat it like a password. sipsip stores only a fingerprint of it, so we can't show it again. If a key leaks, revoke it in Settings and create a new one. You can have up to five keys, one per device or agent.
