Weftly
Weftly is a cloud-based MCP server for video editing that lets users and AI agents transcribe, summarize, and clip raw video and audio files. Designed for podcasters, YouTubers, and short-form creators, it simplifies content post-production. Users can upload recordings and receive timestamped transcripts, summaries, ranked highlight clips, vertical crops, and even published YouTube videos, all through a pay-per-job model with no subscription. The platform offers six main job types: Transcribe, Summarize, Find Clips, Extract Clip, Vertical Clip, and Publish to YouTube. Pricing ranges from $0.50 for audio transcription to $2.00 for AI-powered clip ranking, with file auto-deletion after 24 hours. Weftly can be accessed via a web browser, as an MCP server in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible host, or through its REST API, making it suitable for both manual use and autonomous AI agents. Weftly is positioned as a pay-per-job alternative to subscription-based video editing tools. It supports MP3, MP4, MOV, and eight other formats, and requires no account for browser use. For agentic workflows, Weftly integrates with Stripe's Machine Payment Protocol (MPP) so agents can pay autonomously without human checkout.
