bibigpt-skill

AI Agent skill for summarizing videos, audio, and podcasts via BibiGPT.

Three ways to use:

1. BibiGPT Desktop + CLI Skill — install bibi CLI, works with Claude Code / OpenClaw / Codex
2. Remote MCP Server — zero install, works with any MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.)
3. OpenAPI — direct HTTP calls for containers, CI, or custom integrations

Quick Start

1. Install Desktop App

curl -fsSL https://bibigpt.co/install.sh | bash

Works on macOS (auto-uses Homebrew), Linux (downloads AppImage), and detects Windows (prompts to use winget).

Or install manually per platform:

• macOS: brew install --cask jimmylv/bibigpt/bibigpt (Homebrew tap)
• Windows: winget install BibiGPT --source winget or download from bibigpt.co/download/desktop
• Linux: Download .deb / .AppImage from bibigpt.co/download/desktop

Then log in: bibi auth login (opens browser for OAuth, saves token automatically).

2. Install Skill

Claude Code

npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill

OpenClaw

npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --agents OpenClaw --yes

3. Usage

Ask your agent to summarize any video, audio URL, or local file:

> Summarize this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx
> Summarize this local file: /path/to/meeting-recording.mp4

The agent will automatically detect the best mode and route to the right workflow.

Commands

Command	Description
bibi summarize "<URL>"	Summarize a video/audio URL
bibi summarize "/path/to/file.mp4"	Summarize a local audio/video file
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --async	Async mode (long videos)
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --chapter	Chapter-by-chapter summary
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --subtitle	Fetch subtitles/transcript only
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --json	Full JSON output
bibi auth check	Check auth status
bibi auth login	OAuth login via browser (saves token automatically)
bibi check-update	Check for new version
bibi self-update	Download and install latest version

---

Updating

BibiGPT ships three independently updateable layers. Pick the one that matches what you want refreshed.

Layer	Updates	Command	When to run
Skill content (workflows, references, intent router)	npm-distributed, manual	npx skills update JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill	Weekly, or when changelog adds a new MCP tool / workflow
bibi desktop CLI (binary + embedded SKILL.md + manifest dispatcher)	Self-update or package manager	bibi self-update (or brew upgrade --cask bibigpt / winget upgrade BibiGPT)	When the changelog mentions CLI changes
Remote MCP server (https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp)	Always latest, server-side	automatic — restart your MCP client to pick up new tools	Never manually; happens server-side

Update the skill

npx skills update JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill

The skill does not auto-update — Agents read whatever was last fetched. Re-run when you want new BibiGPT capabilities, fixed workflows, or new MCP tools surfaced. For a clean reinstall:

npx skills remove JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill && npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill

The GitHub Releases page tracks what each version changed.

Update the bibi CLI

bibi check-update    # peek at the latest published version
bibi self-update     # download and install (uses brew on macOS, installer on Windows)

Or via package manager: brew upgrade --cask bibigpt / winget upgrade BibiGPT --source winget / fresh download from bibigpt.co/download/desktop.

Manifest is hot-cached, not embedded. Even without bibi self-update, the CLI dispatcher fetches https://bibigpt.co/api/cli-manifest.json on first call (24h TTL) — newly-released agent procedures show up the next day. bibi self-update only matters when the dispatcher itself or the embedded SKILL.md changes.

Update the MCP server

Nothing to do — the remote MCP endpoint always serves the latest meta.mcp.enabled tool list. Restart your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) if you don't see a newly-released tool — that refreshes its tools/list cache.

Note: The desktop app build is triggered via the build-tauri-desktop-app GitHub Actions workflow. After a successful build, artifacts are uploaded to OSS and the latest.json manifest is updated automatically — the client checks this manifest for update availability.

Remote MCP Server (No Install Required)

BibiGPT also provides a remote MCP server at https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp — works with any MCP-compatible client. Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 authentication.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
summarize_video	Summarize a video or podcast URL
summarize_video_with_config	Summarize with custom prompt, model, language
summarize_by_chapter	Chapter-by-chapter summary
get_subtitle	Get transcript/subtitles with timestamps
create_summary_task	Create async task for long videos
get_task_status	Check async task status

Claude Code

Add to .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bibigpt": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or via CLI:

claude mcp add --transport http bibigpt https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp

Direct API Key (Skip OAuth)

If you have a BibiGPT API key, skip OAuth and use Bearer token directly:

# List available tools (no auth needed for discovery)
curl -X POST https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

# Summarize a video (requires auth)
curl -X POST https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json, text/event-stream" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"summarize_video","arguments":{"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx"}}}'
