From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
mcp-video-analyzer
Turn any video — YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Loom, X, Vimeo, direct links, local files — into transcripts, key frames, OCR text, and metadata for AI agents.
No existing video MCP combines transcripts + visual frames + metadata in one tool. This one does — across Loom, the major yt-dlp platforms (YouTube/Vimeo/TikTok/Instagram/X/Twitch/Dailymotion/Facebook), direct video URLs, and local files.
Want a full pipeline, not just a tool? social-knowledge-base is built on top of this server — it downloads whole Instagram creator accounts (reels, stories, highlights), transcribes them, and turns the result into a searchable, RAG-queryable knowledge base with AI-generated notes.
