Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-shorts-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",

      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-shorts-skill": {
      "command": "git",
      "args": [
        "clone",
        "https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-shorts",
        "~/.claude/skills/claude-shorts"
      ],
      "_inferred": true
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [

      "name": "claude-shorts-skill",
      "command": "git",

        "clone",
        "https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-shorts",
        "~/.claude/skills/claude-shorts"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {

          "~/.claude/skills/claude-shorts"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: claude-shorts

How to turn a 90-minute podcast into 10 Shorts

👤 Podcasters and content creators ⏱ ~90 min advanced

Wann einsetzen: You published a long episode and want a week of Shorts from it with minimal effort.

Voraussetzungen

Node 20+ for Remotion and FFmpeg installed — nvm install 20; brew install ffmpeg
Skill cloned — git clone https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-shorts ~/.claude/skills/claude-shorts

Ablauf

Transcribe and score

Process podcast_ep42.mp3 — transcribe and score candidate Short segments.✓ Kopiert

→ Ranked list of 20–30 candidates with timestamps and hooks
Pick and snap

Pick the top 10 and snap boundaries to clean audio breakpoints.✓ Kopiert

→ 10 segments with cleaned-up start/end
Render Shorts

Render vertical 9:16 Shorts with animated captions to ./shorts/.✓ Kopiert

→ MP4 files ready to upload

Ergebnis: A week's worth of Shorts generated in an afternoon.

Fallstricke

Captions out of sync — Use word-level timestamps from whisper — skill expects them
Same joke across 3 Shorts — Ask Claude to de-dupe by topic cluster before rendering

Kombinieren mit: filesystem

Build a highlight reel from a Twitch / YouTube stream

👤 Streamers, educators, conference archivists ⏱ ~60 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You have a long recording and need a sampler to promote it.

Ablauf

Assemble the reel

Assemble a single 60-second highlight reel with smooth cuts.✓ Kopiert

→ One MP4 with good pacing

Ergebnis: A concise reel that represents the best of the session.

Fallstricke

Reel has no narrative — Ask Claude to order clips for arc, not just score
