What is video-url-analyzer-mcp CLAUDE.md?

Project instructions for a server that analyzes videos and photos from YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram using Google's Gemini AI. They describe how media is downloaded or accessed, uploaded for analysis, and cleaned up afterward.

Maintaining or extending the video-analysis server, including transcripts, questions and answers, tutorials, structured moments, saved context, evidence files, and caching.

They give an AI coding agent the project context it needs to work safely in this codebase. Without them, an agent may misunderstand the media pipelines or key files.

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	$0.01980	$0.01980
Opus 5.5	$0.00792	$0.00792

Security

Grade A, and why

video-url-analyzer-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Video Analyzer MCP Server

Project Purpose

MCP server for video/photo analysis using Google's Gemini API. Supports YouTube (direct, no download), TikTok (videos + photo slideshows), and Instagram (Reels, video posts, and photo carousels). Downloaded media is uploaded to the Gemini Files API and analyzed with full visual (and, for videos, audio) coverage.

Architecture

server.py: Main MCP server with 18 tools: the original analysis/transcript/Q&A/tutorial tools, structured moment/segment tools, saved video context tools, local evidence asset tools, and cache tools.
Pipelines:
- YouTube: Direct analysis: the YouTube URL is sent as a FileData part (no download).
- TikTok/Instagram video: Fast-path API/scrape → yt-dlp fallback → upload to Gemini Files API → analyze → cleanup.
- TikTok/Instagram photo carousel: Scrape image URLs from page/API → download each image → upload ALL images to Gemini → analyze as a single carousel with ordered slides → cleanup.
_download_video(url) returns list[str] (one path for a video, many for a carousel). _analyze_downloaded handles both transparently.
YouTube frame/clip extraction has a fast local path using yt-dlp -g stream URLs + ffmpeg. If source.mp4 is missing but a saved context has the original YouTube URL, asset tools can still extract frames/clips.
FastMCP for MCP protocol (stdio transport).
google-genai SDK for Gemini API interaction.

Media download strategy

TikTok photo posts: tikwm.com API returns data.images[] of image URLs.
Instagram photo posts: page HTML is scraped; the carousel_media / edge_sidecar_to_children JSON block is isolated to avoid picking up thumbnails of suggested/related posts. Falls back to whole-page scan if the block isn't present. Hard cap at 20 unique images.
Image downloads use _download_media_url: urllib (system DNS, 3 retries) → curl_cffi impersonate fallback. urllib-first was added because curl_cffi's bundled resolver intermittently fails to resolve some *.fna.fbcdn.net CDN shards on Windows while system DNS works.
All temp files deleted in a finally block; uploaded Gemini files are also deleted after the analysis call returns.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
