Let AI tools work with the conversations you already saved.
Highlight Reel's remote MCP server lets supported AI clients search, fetch, and create saved share pages after OAuth approval. Pro Link adds higher quotas plus advanced update and organization tools.
Remote MCP endpoint
Use this URL in clients that support remote MCP or Streamable HTTP.
https://highlight-reel.app/api/mcpWhat the connector can do
The server exposes small, permission-scoped tools instead of giving an AI client raw database access.
Search saved context
Find saved share pages by title and content preview, then fetch the full Markdown when it is relevant.
Create clean share pages
Turn selected AI output into a Highlight Reel page with Markdown bubbles, labels, visibility settings, and a stable /t link.
Update carefully
Pro Link can change transcript settings or replace messages with safeguards that help avoid overwriting newer edits.
Works with MCP-ready clients
Each client has its own connection UI, but the URL and OAuth flow stay the same.
ChatGPT web
Add Highlight Reel as a custom connector, review the permission screen, then ask ChatGPT to search or create share pages.
Claude Code and Cursor
Use the same remote URL in MCP settings or project config, then finish the browser authorization flow.
Codex CLI and local agents
Add the remote server once and keep using the same account-level permissions.
Private by default, OAuth-gated by design
Free includes MCP Lite with limited read and create access. Clients only get the scopes you approve, saved content stays tied to your Highlight Reel account, and you can revoke connected apps from the dashboard.
MCP questions
The short version of how remote MCP access works in Highlight Reel.
Is MCP the same as an API key?
No. MCP is a tool protocol for AI clients, and Highlight Reel uses OAuth so each client asks for permission before it can read or create anything.
Which AI tools can connect?
Any client that supports remote MCP over HTTP can use the endpoint. ChatGPT web, Cursor, Codex CLI, and Claude Code use different setup screens, but they connect to the same Highlight Reel URL.
What can an AI client see?
Only content owned by the authenticated Highlight Reel account and only through the scopes approved during OAuth. Private share pages still belong to your account.
Does MCP increase my server cost?
MCP calls do use Vercel Functions and Neon reads or writes, but the server is rate-limited and uses focused search indexes so normal usage stays lightweight.
