VideoDB MCP

VideoDB MCP lets Claude edit, clip, transcribe, subtitle, search and visually analyse videos in your VideoDB account. It understands what happens on screen, not just what people say. Import videos from URLs and YouTube links or connect live streams, then get timestamped answers, playable clips and shareable links.

Video editing and highlights Trim and cut videos, stitch clips into highlight reels, render timelines and reframe for Shorts and Reels. Try: "Create a 30-second highlight reel from this video."

Transcription and subtitles Get timestamped transcripts, find spoken moments and add burned-in subtitles. Try: "Transcribe this video and add captions."

Visual analysis Analyse scenes, objects, people, actions and events, even without dialogue, and answer questions with the supporting moments. Try: "Watch this video and explain what happens on screen."

Semantic search Search long recordings and whole collections in plain language and get exact moments back as playable clips. Try: "Find every time someone picks up a red object."

Live video and cameras Connect RTSP feeds, index them as they run and trigger alerts on events. Try: "Alert me when someone enters this camera feed."
