Vidocu MCP Server

The AI Knowledge Platform as MCP tools. Agents turn videos, PDFs, and slides into subtitles, voiceovers, translations, docs, and help articles. Free plan works.

Vidocu is the AI Knowledge Platform for teams that move fast: it turns the materials you have into the knowledge people need. Product videos, SOPs, how-to guides, help articles, and training material from one upload.

This is the hosted Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-aware client) the full Vidocu API as tools: upload a video or connect source material, generate subtitles in 65+ languages, add AI voiceover, translate the whole asset, and produce step-by-step documentation with screenshots, all from conversation. Heavy operations run async with job polling, so agents can fire work and check back. Hosted and stateless: nothing to deploy.

Endpoint

https://mcp.vidocu.ai/

Remote, streamable HTTP.

Auth

OAuth 2.1 (recommended, works on any plan including Free). The server advertises Vidocu's authorization server via RFC 9728 protected-resource metadata, with PKCE and dynamic client registration. Clients that support OAuth connect with no manual key management, and an agent can produce real output without a credit card.

API key. For clients without OAuth support, pass a Vidocu API key (vdo_live_...) as a Bearer token, available on every plan. Mint one at https://vidocu.ai/dashboard/developers.

Install

Claude Code / CLI (OAuth):

claude mcp add --transport http vidocu https://mcp.vidocu.ai/

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf (OAuth, any HTTP-transport client):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vidocu": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vidocu.ai/"
    }
  }
}

API key variant:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vidocu": {
      "url": "https://mcp.vidocu.ai/",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer vdo_live_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Tools (21)

Videos - upload_video, get_upload_url, list_videos, get_video

Projects - create_project, list_projects, get_project, update_project, delete_project

Processing - process_video, analyze_video, get_subtitles, translate_video, generate_voiceover, generate_article, export_video

Micro-tools - list_tools, get_tool, execute_tool (run any of Vidocu's free tools, like format conversion or subtitle extraction, programmatically)

Jobs and usage - get_job_status, get_usage

AI Recorder

The platform also includes AI Recorder (beta): give Vidocu a help article or a plain-language instruction and an AI agent opens a real browser, performs the workflow itself, and records it, returning video, step screenshots, and a written article from one run.

AI Recorder is not yet exposed through the MCP server or API. Recordings created in the app land in the same projects these tools operate on, and MCP support is on the roadmap.

Pricing

The MCP server works on every Vidocu plan, with OAuth or an API key, including the Free plan (no credit card). Plans at https://vidocu.ai/pricing.
