Analyze any video (file, URL, or Jira attachment) into frames + transcript for Claude Code
Connect Video to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Analyze any video (file, URL, or Jira attachment) into frames + transcript for Claude Code. The video mcp server is what makes that connection.
An MCP server that gives Claude Code the ability to analyze any video — a local file or a URL — through one set of tools.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
analyze_video — frames + transcript + metadata (the main tool). frame_intervalget_video_transcript_only — transcript text onlyextract_frames_at — frames at specific timestamps ("00:42", "1:05", 12.5)list_recent_analyses — cached analyses + backend usedConfiguration is passed through the environment: VIDEO_MCP_ENV, OPENAI_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY, VIDEO_MCP_WHISPER_MODEL_PATH. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at video-vision-mcp on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the planning and project tracking group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Video's toolset — analyze_video, get_video_transcript_only, extract_frames_at and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by KitDevUA; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Video's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
