video

video is a skill for Claude Code from guimatheus92/mcp-video-analyzer. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,056 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A video-reading tool for online videos and local files. It extracts speech transcripts, important images, text visible on screen, metadata, and a timeline so questions can be answered with timestamps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarize videos, answer questions about what happens, read text in screen recordings, inspect a particular time, or find information in videos from sites such as YouTube, Vimeo, Loom, TikTok, and Twitch.
Why use it?
It avoids watching an entire video manually or searching through it to find one detail. It also helps when the useful information is spoken, shown as small on-screen text, or tied to a specific moment.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

video 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Analyze the given video and answer the user's question (or summarize it if no question was asked). Always cite timestamps (M:SS) in your answer.

Route A — video-analyzer MCP tools available (preferred)

If the video-analyzer MCP server is connected in this session, call its tools directly — do not use the CLI:

  • General question or no question → analyze_video (detail "standard")
  • "What happens at X:XX" / a specific moment → analyze_moment (time range) or get_frame_at
  • Question answerable from speech alone → get_transcript (fast, no download)
  • Title / duration / views / comments only → get_metadata (no download)
  • Motion or fast UI changes → get_frame_burst

Dense UI capture (terminal, dashboard, IDE, spreadsheet — the meaning is in small text): pass maxWidth on any of these tools. Emitted frames are capped at 800 px wide by default, which turns a 1920×1080 screencast into 800×450 and drops a 15 px UI font below what a vision model can read. maxWidth: 0 keeps the source resolution; a value like 1568 is the middle ground. Native frames cost several times more context, so raise it for the close read, not for the overview.

Route B — no MCP server (any agent with a shell)

Run the one-shot CLI via Bash (first run downloads the npm package — slow is not broken; progress streams on stderr):

npx -y mcp-video-analyzer@latest analyze "<video-url-or-path>"

stdout is a single JSON document: metadata, transcript (timestamped entries), ocrResults (on-screen text), timeline, warnings, and frames — an array of { time, filePath, mimeType } pointing to JPEG key frames on disk. Then:

  1. Parse the JSON from stdout.
  2. Read the frames[].filePath images (in parallel) when the question needs visuals.
  3. Answer from transcript + OCR + frames, citing timestamps.

Useful flags: --detail brief|standard|detailed (brief = metadata + transcript only, no frame extraction — the fast/cheap path), --fields metadata,transcript (filters the emitted JSON only; frames are still computed at standard detail), --max-frames <1-60>, --max-width <px> (frame width cap, default 800; 0 keeps source resolution — use it for dense UI captures whose payload is small text), --language <code> (force transcription language), --out <dir> (where frames are copied), --force-refresh. Run npx -y mcp-video-analyzer@latest analyze --help for the full list.

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.
