MCP support
In MCP mode, the skill connects to BibiGPT's Streamable HTTP service with OAuth 2.1 and discovers capabilities by listing tools. The skill also supports CLI and API modes.

From the project READMEBibiGPT — video summarizer agent skill (summarize / transcript / chapters)
This file is a discovery stub, not the usage guide. It tells you which mode you are in and where the live docs are. The live sources always match the current product; anything copied into this file would go stale.
This skill is watch-video only. Sibling skills in the same repo (same CLI,
same account): bibi-library (saved videos / notes / collections),
bibi-feed (subscribe / latest / mark seen), bibi-vision (frames / mind map).

1. Detect Mode
Run scripts/bibi-check.sh if present, or check in order:
| Check | Mode | Notes |
|---|---|---|
command -v bibi | CLI — best: local files, desktop login | macOS / Windows / Linux desktop app |
$BIBI_API_TOKEN set | API — HTTP calls, works anywhere | token: https://bibigpt.co/user/integration |
| MCP client available | MCP — zero install | connect https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp (OAuth 2.1) |
Neither available → install the desktop app (brew install --cask jimmylv/bibigpt/bibigpt
on macOS, winget install BibiGPT on Windows, curl -fsSL https://bibigpt.co/install.sh | bash
on Linux) or get an API token. Details: references/installation.md.
2. Load Live Docs (per mode)
CLI mode — the CLI is the always-current doc source:
bibi check-update # once per session; run `bibi upgrade` if outdated
bibi --help # full command surface, grouped, with examples
bibi <command> --help # progressive help — every --help includes examples
bibi commands # re-fetch server-defined commands (new capabilities
# appear here without a binary update)
API mode — the machine-readable spec is the source of truth:
https://bibigpt.co/api/openapi.json # all endpoints, schemas, auth
references/api.md has curl examples but the spec wins on conflict.
MCP mode — connect and list tools; they are self-describing:
https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp # Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1

3. Intent Routing
| User Intent | Workflow |
|---|---|
| Summarize a video/audio URL | → workflows/quick-summary.md |
| Chapter-by-chapter breakdown, detailed analysis | → workflows/deep-dive.md |
| Get subtitles, extract transcript, raw text | → workflows/transcript-extract.md |
| Turn into article, blog post, 公众号图文, 小红书 | → workflows/article-rewrite.md |
| Turn into TikTok / Reels / Shorts-style music video | → workflows/video-to-tiktok-mv.md |
| Check a SunoMV music video project: progress, who appears in which shots, failed shots, project JSON | → workflows/mv-project-read.md |
| Process multiple URLs, batch summarize | → workflows/batch-process.md |
| Research a topic across multiple videos | → workflows/research-compile.md |
| Save to Notion, Obsidian, export notes | → workflows/export-notes.md |
| Analyze visual content, slides, on-screen text, mind map | → sibling skill bibi-vision (fallback: workflows/visual-analysis.md / workflows/advanced-tools.md) |
| Check current account, plan, or remaining minutes | → workflows/account-check.md |
| Browse / search saved videos, "what have I summarized" | → sibling skill bibi-library (fallback: workflows/library-browse.md) |
| Manage channel subscriptions, list/sub/unsub | → sibling skill bibi-feed (fallback: workflows/channels-manage.md) |
| What's new across my subscriptions, latest feed, daily digest | → sibling skill bibi-feed (fallback: workflows/feed-latest.md) |
| Manage collections, list/create/share saved videos as a set | → sibling skill bibi-library (fallback: workflows/collections-manage.md) |
| Manage personal notes on saved videos, edit summaries | → sibling skill bibi-library (fallback: workflows/notes-manage.md) |
| Custom-prompt re-summary of a saved item, collection chat | → sibling skill bibi-library (fallback: workflows/advanced-tools.md) |
| HTTP 402 / "需要付款" / Alipay AI 钱包 / no token + China user | → references/billing-aipay.md |
Disambiguation: intent matches more than one workflow → ask one clarifying
question first. Matches none → ask what they want; do not guess. Bare URL
with no context → default to workflows/quick-summary.md.
4. Quick One-Liners (CLI mode)
For single-command requests that don't need a full workflow — discover the
rest via bibi --help:
bibi summarize "<URL-or-local-file>" # quick summary (local: .mp4 .mp3 .m4a ...)
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --chapter # chapter summary
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --subtitle # transcript only
bibi me # account, plan, remaining minutes
URLs containing ? or & must be quoted. API mode has no local-file upload —
guide the user to a public URL (OSS/S3) first, see references/supported-platforms.md.
5. Payment Fallback (HTTP 402)
If no auth is set and the user has an Alipay account, BibiGPT may respond
with HTTP 402 Payment Required + Payment-Needed header (AI 收 protocol).
The bibi CLI prints a stable marker line [HTTP/402 Payment Required] to
stderr before any human-readable prompt. When either signal appears, route to
references/billing-aipay.md instead of treating the call as failed — the
agent can resolve payment automatically via
@alipay/agent-payment
or a one-off QR purchase.
