About ARClip
ARClip’s MCP server lets people build, edit, check and publish 3D, AR and game scenes in ARClip from MCP clients. It supports scene work such as placing objects, adding interactions and preparing scenes for sharing as phone-accessible AR links.
Key features
- 01Create and inspect projects
- 02Add objects from libraries or AI generation
- 03Configure AR placement
- 04Add cards, events and scripts
- 05Check scenes and preview screenshots
- 06Publish scenes as links
Use cases
- 01Build a product preview in a room
- 02Create an interactive 3D lesson
- 03Make a guided tour or tabletop game
MCP support
Exposes ARClip project and scene operations to MCP clients over a hosted streamable HTTP server with OAuth sign-in. Permissions control reading, editing, generation and publishing.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.
Tools
Details
From the project READMEARClip MCP server
Build, edit and publish live 3D, AR and game scenes in ARClip from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and other MCP clients. Ask for a product people can place in their room, a 3D lesson, a guided tour or a small game: the assistant builds it in your ARClip project, checks it and, when you ask, publishes it as a link that opens on a phone in AR.
Server URL (streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in):
https://editor.arclip.design/api/mcp/v1
What you can do
- Create a project or open one you have, and see what is in the scene.
- Add objects from your team library, public 3D libraries or AI generation.
- Set up AR: on a floor, a table or a wall, or over a printed picture.
- Add interface cards, events and scripts: buttons, quizzes, scores, tours.
- Check the scene for errors and look at screenshots before you share it.
- Publish when you say so.
Your team can keep editing the same scene in the browser while the assistant works, and sees its changes live.
Connect
claude.ai and Claude Desktop. Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the server URL and sign in when asked.
Claude Code.
claude mcp add --transport http arclip https://editor.arclip.design/api/mcp/v1
Then run /mcp and choose to authenticate. To get the server together with the skills below, install the plugin instead:
/plugin install arclip --marketplace arclip/mcp
Cursor. Add to .cursor/mcp.json (one project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects):
{
"mcpServers": {
"arclip": { "url": "https://editor.arclip.design/api/mcp/v1" }
}
}
VS Code.
code --add-mcp '{"name":"arclip","type":"http","url":"https://editor.arclip.design/api/mcp/v1"}'
Codex, Cursor and OpenCode from the ARClip CLI: npx arclip skill install --mcp adds the server to their settings.
Gemini CLI. gemini extensions install https://github.com/arclip/mcp
Kiro. Add the power in kiro/.
Cline. See llms-install.md.
Apps that only run local servers. Use mcp-remote with a personal API token:
{
"mcpServers": {
"arclip": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y", "[email protected]",
"https://editor.arclip.design/api/mcp/v1",
"--header", "Authorization:Bearer <your-api-token>"
]
}
}
}
Sign-in and permissions
On the first connection your browser opens your ARClip account with the list of permissions the app asks for. Untick what you don't want and press Allow. You can review or revoke access at any time under API & MCP in your account. A personal API token is created there too; treat it like a password.
| Permission | What it allows |
|---|---|
editor:read | Read projects, scenes, resources and the AI balance |
editor:write | Create, change and delete objects, components and settings |
editor:ai | Use generation, which spends your team's AI credits |
editor:publish | Publish a project, which makes it public |
editor:plugins | Write editor plugins and add them to a project |
On the Free plan, apps can read and check projects. Building, generation and publishing need a paid plan.
To keep a connection on one project, add ?projectId=<project-id>&pin=1 to the server URL. The project ID is the last part of the editor address: editor.arclip.design/project/<project-id>.
Skills
This repository is also a plugin for Claude (claude.ai, Cowork and Claude Code) and Cursor. Besides the server it adds skills that tell the assistant how to do common jobs well:
| Skill | For |
|---|---|
arclip-scene | The build, check and publish loop, and where objects come from |
product-in-your-room | A product at real size in the viewer's room, with variants and one button |
lesson-3d-topic | A 3D lesson on one school topic with numbered parts and a short check |
place-tour | A guided tour of a real place, stop by stop |
tabletop-mini-game | A small game on a table in AR or in a browser |
ar-print-comes-alive | AR over a postcard, packaging, a poster or a book page |
quiz-checkpoints | A quiz on top of an existing scene |
scene-polish-pass | A final check before publishing |
Data
The server and the plugin send your requests, the scene content you create or change and the files you import to ARClip at editor.arclip.design, under your ARClip account. Generation runs on ARClip and spends your team's AI credits. Published scenes are public. The plugin itself stores nothing.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
