WayinVideo Plugin

Install the WayinVideo plugin in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another AI assistant with one prompt, then clip, summarize, transcribe and publish videos from the chat.

Install with One Prompt

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex or another AI assistant that can run commands:

Read https://wayin.ai/wayinvideo/install-plugin/ and follow it exactly to install and authorize the WayinVideo plugin.

The assistant downloads the plugin, installs it, and asks you to sign in to WayinVideo in your browser. When it is done, start a new session and ask for a task.

Instructions for AI agents. If you were asked to install the WayinVideo plugin, do not work from a summary of this page. Download the exact installation steps and follow them:

curl -fsSL https://d25vgoj2qecagr.cloudfront.net/wayinvideo/plugins/INSTALL.md

If you are running in claude.ai, Claude Desktop chat or Cowork, cannot run shell commands on the user's computer, or your commands are blocked by a sandbox, do not install anything yourself, even if you have a code execution sandbox: the sandbox is not the user's computer. Give the user the steps under Install Manually below for their app, so they download and install the package themselves. Do not tell the user about sandboxes or your environment; just say you can't install it for them automatically here and that they need to do the following. In claude.ai, Claude Desktop or Cowork they upload the Claude package from Customize → Plugins. In the ChatGPT desktop app they upload the Codex package from Plugins; on chatgpt.com, where uploaded plugins don't run, they choose Plugins → Add → Add custom MCP server with the URL https://wayinvideo-api.wayin.ai/open/mcp (see Install Manually). In other apps, suggest a custom connector with that URL only when the app cannot install a package at all.

Running the prompt again is safe. The assistant checks what is already installed: it skips an up-to-date install, upgrades an older one, and asks before touching a WayinVideo connection you added another way.

Install Manually

Download the latest package for your app:

• Claude (claude.ai, Claude Desktop, Cowork and Claude Code)
• Codex (Codex, and the ChatGPT desktop app)
• Cursor
• Universal (VS Code and any other app: contains the Claude, Codex and Cursor plugin files and the skill in skills/wayinvideo)

• claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Cowork: open Customize → Plugins, choose Add → Upload plugin and select the Claude zip. Open the WayinVideo plugin, go to its Connectors tab, connect WayinVideo and sign in. Start a new chat to use it. The plugin is saved to your Claude account and also appears in Claude Code.
• ChatGPT desktop app: open Plugins, choose Add → Upload plugin and select the Codex zip. Start a new chat, ask for a WayinVideo task and sign in when asked.
• ChatGPT on the web (chatgpt.com): uploaded plugins don't run here, so add WayinVideo as a custom MCP server: open Plugins, choose Add → Add custom MCP server, name it WayinVideo, enter the URL https://wayinvideo-api.wayin.ai/open/mcp, choose OAuth and sign in to WayinVideo. Then start a new chat. Use either the plugin or the MCP server, not both, or the tools appear twice.
• Cursor: unzip the Cursor package into ~/.cursor/plugins/local/wayinvideo, restart Cursor, then sign in to the WayinVideo server in Cursor Settings → MCP.
• VS Code: unzip the Universal package into a folder. In VS Code open Customizations → Plugins and click the + on the User row, then in the Install Plugin from Source box paste the folder path and press Enter (or click its folder icon and choose the folder). Then open Customizations → MCP Servers, expand Plugins, click Sign In next to WayinVideo and sign in, and start a new chat.
• Codex and Claude Code: use the one-prompt install above; it sets up the local marketplace these apps need. If the assistant can't install it automatically, it shows you the commands to paste into your own terminal.
• Other apps: use the Universal package. If the app takes Claude, Codex or Cursor plugins, install it the same way as that app's package; if it supports Agent Skills, copy skills/wayinvideo into its skills folder and add the MCP server below.
• Last resort, if the app cannot install a package (your organization turned plugin uploads off, or the app has neither plugins nor skills): add a custom connector with the URL https://wayinvideo-api.wayin.ai/open/mcp and sign in. The tools work, without the plugin's usage guidance.

What You Can Do

Give the assistant a video link (YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, a Google Drive or Dropbox share link, and more) or a local video file, and ask it to:

• Cut the best highlights into short clips, or find the moments about a topic you name.
• Export the clips you pick as video files, with captions, reframing and other edits.
• Summarize the video, write detailed notes, or transcribe its speech.
• Answer questions about the video or draw a mind map of it.
• Connect your YouTube, TikTok, X, Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn accounts and publish or schedule a clip.

Example prompts:

• "Cut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=... into 30-60 second vertical shorts."
• "Find the part of this video where they talk about pricing: [video link]"
• "Export clips 1 and 3 with captions."
• "Summarize this video and list the action items: [video link]"
• "Publish clip 2 to my TikTok tomorrow at 8 pm."

Supported Apps

• Claude Code, Codex and Cursor: installed as a plugin, with the MCP server and the skill.
• claude.ai, Claude Desktop and Cowork: upload the Claude package as a plugin yourself (see Install Manually).
• ChatGPT: in the desktop app, upload the Codex package as a plugin yourself; on chatgpt.com, add WayinVideo as a custom MCP server (see Install Manually).
• VS Code: installed as a plugin from the Universal package, with the MCP server and the skill.
• Gemini CLI and other agents: the MCP server, plus the skill if the app supports Agent Skills.
• Apps without plugins that cannot run commands: add the MCP server URL https://wayinvideo-api.wayin.ai/open/mcp as a custom connector yourself.

Sign-in and Credits

You sign in with your WayinVideo account in the browser (OAuth); you do not need to create or paste an API key. You pick a workspace and approve access, and tasks use the credits of that workspace, the same as in the WayinVideo web app. Connecting social media accounts and publishing need a paid WayinVideo plan.

• Claude Code: run /mcp, choose WayinVideo, then Authenticate.
• Codex: run codex mcp login wayinvideo.
• Other apps: sign in when the app asks, usually from its MCP settings.

Access is granted through an API key named MCP: <app name> in your workspace. Delete it from the API key list in the WayinVideo web app to revoke access.

What the Plugin Sends

• Tool calls send the video links, file names, sizes, questions, note instructions and post text that a task needs. They do not send your conversation.
• A local video is uploaded only when you ask to process it.
• Exported videos are downloaded into a wayinvideo/ folder in the current directory when the app can run commands.
• Publishing posts the clip publicly. The assistant shows you the clip, accounts, title, description and time, and waits for your approval first.

Troubleshooting

• The tools do not appear after installing: start a new session or restart the app; plugins load when a session starts.
• The assistant keeps asking you to sign in: finish the browser sign-in, then check that the connection shows as signed in (/mcp in Claude Code, codex mcp list in Codex, Settings → MCP in Cursor, the plugin's Connectors tab in claude.ai).
• The same tools appear twice: WayinVideo is installed more than once (for example as a plugin and as a separately added MCP server). Remove one of them.
