Agent Toolkit

Agent Toolkit is an MCP server that integrates VideoDB's media infrastructure with AI tools and coding assistants. Designed for software developers, content automation engineers, and media teams, this server connects clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code directly to a managed video database. Users interact with media assets using natural language commands, automating workflows that historically required manual timeline editing and metadata logging. By exposing specialized tools such as video search, metadata retrieval, and media ingestion, the server allows connected agents to identify specific moments or scenes across large libraries using semantic search queries. It also retrieves structured technical details including duration, format, and asset titles without requiring manual inspection. Furthermore, it enables client agents to upload new videos programmatically from web URLs or local paths, preparing footage for transcription, generative media pipelines, voice cloning, and AI-driven video editing workflows.

How to install and configure Agent Toolkit

1. Install the uv tool on macOS/Linux using curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh or on Windows using PowerShell. 2. Obtain an API key from VideoDB. 3. Automatically configure clients by running uvx videodb-director-mcp --install=claude, uvx videodb-director-mcp --install=cursor, or uvx videodb-director-mcp --install=all. 4. Alternatively, manually edit claude_desktop_config.json and add videodb-director under mcpServers with the command set to uvx and args set to ["videodb-director-mcp", "--api-key=<VIDEODB-API-KEY>"]. 5. For Claude Code, run claude mcp add videodb-director uvx -- videodb-director-mcp --api-key=<VIDEODB_API_KEY>.

What you can do with Agent Toolkit

• Locate specific visual moments or scene dialogue across an extensive video archive by executing natural language search queries via search_video. - Ingest media files automatically from web URLs or file paths directly into the VideoDB library using the upload_video tool. - Extract structured video metadata such as duration, format types, and titles for indexing workflows through the get_video tool call. - Prepare ingested footage inside Claude Code or Cursor for downstream AI editing, multilingual transcription, and content moderation tasks.

Part of MCP Servers

What is Agent Toolkit?

Agent Toolkit is an MCP server built by VideoDB that connects AI clients to a video platform. It enables AI assistants to search footage using natural language, upload video files, retrieve technical metadata, and interact with video assets.

How do I install Agent Toolkit?

You can install it using the uv package runner. First install uv, then configure your client using automated commands like uvx videodb-director-mcp --install=claude or by adding the videodb-director-mcp command with your API key to your configuration file.

Which MCP clients work with Agent Toolkit?

Agent Toolkit supports Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code. It provides automated installation flags for Claude and Cursor, a dedicated addition command for Claude Code, and support for manual JSON configuration in standard MCP clients.

What tools are included in Agent Toolkit?

The server includes search_video for querying video moments with natural language, get_video for retrieving asset metadata like format and duration, and upload_video for adding new files via URL or local file paths.
