ClipNode is a free local Android media tool with MCP support, designed to let AI clients use real video, GIF, and image processing on your phone.

With ClipNode's local service and MCP Bridge, supported AI tools can connect to your Android device, browse media files, upload source files, create editing tasks, track export progress, and download finished results. You describe what you want in natural language, the AI prepares the media workflow, and ClipNode performs the actual rendering and export locally on your device.

You can also open ClipNode's local service from a computer browser on the same network. Upload files and creative assets, view and manage phone videos and images stored on your phone, and download exported media back to your computer.
