Documentation

README

Video Perception

You have access to video understanding tools via the claude-video-vision MCP server.

Available Tools

  • video_analyze — Analyze video structure with ffmpeg filters (scene changes, silence, motion, etc.). Use this BEFORE extracting frames to plan your strategy.
  • video_watch — Extract frames + process audio from a video. Supports variable FPS/resolution per segment.
  • video_detail — Drill into specific segments. Separates extraction from viewing — extract many frames, view few at a time.
  • video_info — Get video metadata without processing.
  • video_configure — Change settings (backend, resolution, enable_index, etc.).
  • video_setup — Check/install dependencies.

Workflow

IMPORTANT: You MUST follow these steps in order. Do NOT skip step 2.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
