How do I get an API key?

Create a free key at `https://clipy.online/settings/api-keys`. It looks like `clipy_sk_live_…` and is shown only once.

What tools does Clipy provide?

It provides `search_recordings`, `list_recordings`, `get_recording`, `get_transcript`, `get_summary`, `wait_for_artifacts`, and `download_recording`.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `CLIPY_API_KEY`, `CLIPY_API_URL` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
