What is cloudglue-mcp-server CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for a server that connects AI assistants to Cloudglue's video-analysis service.

Use them when adding or changing tools for video collections, transcripts, metadata, entities, segments, or video search.

They document how to build and format the TypeScript server and how its video-analysis tools are organized.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00537	$0.00537
Opus 5.5	$0.00215	$0.00215
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00107	$0.00107
Haiku 4.5	$0.00054	$0.00054

Security

Grade A, and why

cloudglue-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Project Overview

Cloudglue MCP Server - A Model Context Protocol server that bridges AI assistants (Claude, Cursor) with Cloudglue's video analysis platform. Enables AI to analyze videos, extract transcripts, identify entities, segment content, and search across video collections.

Common Commands

# Build the project (TypeScript compilation + MCP packaging)
npm run build

# Watch mode for development
npm run watch

# Format code with Prettier
npm run format

No dedicated test or lint commands are currently defined.

Architecture

Entry Point: src/index.ts initializes the McpServer, creates the Cloudglue client (via @cloudglue/cloudglue-js SDK), registers all tools, and connects via stdio transport.

Tool Pattern: Each tool in src/tools/ is a self-contained module that exports:

A Zod schema for input validation
A register[ToolName](server, cgClient) function that registers the tool with its handler

10 Tools Available:

list-collections, list-videos - Browse collections and videos
describe-video, get-video-metadata - Video details and transcripts
extract-video-entities - Structured entity extraction
retrieve-summaries - Bulk summary retrieval
search-video-moments, search-video-summaries - Semantic search
segment-video-camera-shots, segment-video-chapters - Video segmentation

Key Patterns

Pagination: Most tools return paginated results (25 items or 5-minute segments per page). Response includes page and total_pages fields.

Cost Optimization: Tools like describe_video check for existing results in collections and jobs before creating new ones.

URL Formats: Tools accept Cloudglue URLs (cg://), YouTube, HTTP, Dropbox, Google Drive, and Zoom URLs.

Error Handling: Consistent JSON error responses with error and details fields.

Tool Hints: Tools declare readOnlyHint, idempotentHint, and openWorldHint for MCP clients.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
