How to let your AI client work with the content projects your team already runs in Clipflow

Give an AI assistant the context it needs without copying project details into every prompt

Clipflow runs a Model Context Protocol server, so an AI client like ChatGPT or Claude can read your workspace directly. Ask what is due this week, or which posts failed to publish, and the answer comes from your actual projects rather than something pasted into a chat.

Endpoint: https://api.clipflow.co/mcp

This is separate from the AI Agents inside Clipflow. Agents live in your workspace and comment in it. The MCP server brings your workspace into an AI client you already use.

Before you start

• An AI client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP.
• A Clipflow account with access to the organizations you want to read.

---

Step 1: Add the server to your client

Add https://api.clipflow.co/mcp as a remote MCP server in your client’s connector settings.

The server publishes its protected-resource metadata for discovery, so most clients handle registration and authorization themselves without any manual configuration:

https://api.clipflow.co/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp

---

Step 2: Authorize

Your client opens Clipflow, you sign in, and a consent screen lists the scopes being requested, grouped into Analytics, Content, Projects & Media, and Workspace. Approve it and the client holds a token scoped to what you agreed to.

The connection sees what you see. It cannot reach organizations you are not a member of, and it cannot do anything your own permissions do not allow.

Step 3: Use it

Once connected, these tools are available:

Tool	What it returns
whoami	The signed-in user
list_organizations	Organizations you belong to
list_projects	Projects, filterable by organization, assignee, channel, status, category, priority, and title
get_project	One project
project_overview	A project with its tasks, media, and posts
list_media_files	Media files, filterable
get_media_file	One media file
list_posts	Posts, filterable
get_post	One post
channel_product_lookup	Channels and the post types they support
analytics_overview	Channel and post performance

Every tool reads. Nothing in this set changes your workspace, so connecting an AI client cannot alter a project, publish a post, or delete a file.

Questions that work well:

• “Which projects are overdue in the agency organization?”
• “Summarise what my team shipped last week.”
• “Which posts failed to publish this month, and on which channels?”
• “What is assigned to Sam right now?”

Connect ChatGPT to Clipflow

ChatGPT connects to MCP servers through developer mode, which lets you add your own apps alongside the ones OpenAI lists. Once Clipflow is added, ChatGPT can look up your projects, posts and analytics in the middle of a conversation.

Developer mode is on the ChatGPT website for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. OpenAI renames these menus from time to time, so if a label below has moved, look for developer mode in your settings and for creating an app from the plus button.

Turn on developer mode

1. Open ChatGPT in a browser and go to Settings → Security and login.
2. Turn on Developer mode.

On a Business or Enterprise workspace, an admin has to allow custom MCP apps first, under the workspace settings for permissions and roles. If you cannot see the toggle, ask whoever administers your ChatGPT workspace.

Add Clipflow as an app

1. Open the apps (or plugins) area of ChatGPT and choose the plus button to create a new app.
2. Give it a name your team will recognise, such as Clipflow, and a short description, such as Projects, posts and analytics from our Clipflow workspace.
3. Under the connection, enter the MCP server URL: https://api.clipflow.co/mcp
4. Choose OAuth for authentication. ChatGPT registers itself with Clipflow, so there is no client ID or secret to copy.
5. Create the app. ChatGPT lists the tools it found on the server, the same set as the table above.

The app sits under Drafts in your app settings. It is yours alone until a workspace admin publishes it for everyone.

Sign in to Clipflow

The first time the app is used, ChatGPT opens Clipflow in a new window. Sign in and approve the consent screen, the same one described in Step 2. Approve only the scopes you want ChatGPT to have. Analytics alone is enough if all you want is reporting.

Ask ChatGPT about your work

1. Start a new chat.
2. Open the plus menu in the message box, choose Developer mode, and select your Clipflow app.
3. Ask your question, and name the app if ChatGPT does not reach for it on its own: “Use Clipflow to list the projects due this week in Lumen.”

ChatGPT may ask you to confirm before it runs a tool. Every Clipflow tool only reads, so confirming lets ChatGPT look, never change anything.

To disconnect, delete the app in ChatGPT’s app settings and revoke the connection in Organization settings → API.

Tips and best practices

• Name the organization when you belong to several. It saves the client a lookup and gets you a straighter answer.
• Approve only the scopes you need. Analytics-only is enough for reporting questions.
• Treat it as read-only. For writes, use the API.
• Revoke connections you have stopped using from Organization settings → API.
