What the publisher says

From the Video Vision repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

video-vision-mcp

<!-- mcp-name: io.github.KitDevUA/video-vision-mcp -->

An MCP server that gives Claude Code the ability to analyze any video — a local file or a URL — through one set of tools.

Claude can't watch video natively (only text + the first frame of an image). This server converts a video into sampled frame images + an audio transcript, or — when a Gemini key is present — a native Gemini analysis of the whole video.

It is standalone: give it a ready video (a local path or a direct URL) and it does the rest. It does not connect to Jira/Slack/etc. If a video lives behind an integration, fetch it with that integration first (download to a file or get a direct URL), then hand the file_path or url to this server.

Scenario: a Jira bug ticket has only a screen-recording, no text. Your Jira MCP

downloads the attachment to a temp file → analyzevideo filepath=/tmp/bug.mp4

→ you see the frames + transcript (or Gemini's analysis) and can reason about the bug.

Three backend tiers (auto-selected)

Precedence: Gemini > OpenAI > Groq > local. Set VIDEOMCPDISABLE_GEMINI=true to force tiers 1/2 even with a Gemini key. The backend used is named in every result.

Privacy: tier 1 never uploads anything. Tiers 2/3 print a one-time notice in the session the first time video content is sent to a third party.

Tools

sets seconds between frames (default 1.0; e.g. 0.5/0.25/0.1 denser, 2/5 sparser).

  • analyzevideo — frames + transcript + metadata (the main tool). frameinterval
  • getvideotranscript_only — transcript text only.
  • extractframesat — frames at specific timestamps ("00:42", "1:05", 12.5).
  • listrecentanalyses — cached analyses + backend used.

Install

Requires Python ≥ 3.10. A single install pulls everything — backends, plus the ffmpeg and whisper.cpp dependencies. Nothing is ever installed globally on your machine (no brew/apt/winget, no sudo).

Use it (recommended)

With uv you don't install it explicitly — uvx runs the published package on demand (see Register in Claude Code). To install into an environment instead:

uv pip install video-vision-mcp     # or: pip install video-vision-mcp

From source (development)

git clone https://github.com/KitDevUA/video-vision-mcp.git
cd video-vision-mcp
uv venv && source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install -e ".[dev]"          # all backends bundled

Dependencies — fully self-contained

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
