VideoDatabase MCP

Search tens of thousands of analyzed Instagram Reels and TikToks from ChatGPT, Claude or another MCP client, and read each video's analysis and Video DNA. On VideoDatabase Pro, it also writes hooks, video ideas and scripts in your saved voice. VideoDatabase isn't VideoDB (videodb.io), a separate company that makes a video API for developers.

Connect VideoDatabase MCP Beta to your AI workspace

VideoDatabase MCP Beta connects ChatGPT, Claude, Codex, Cursor and Grok to the VideoDatabase library of analyzed Instagram Reels and TikToks. Your AI can search proven videos and read their Video DNA on any plan. On Pro, it also writes hooks, video ideas and scripts in your saved voice.

Features and permissions may change during the beta.

Connect a local AI agent now

  1. Create a scoped access token in VideoDatabase Profile Settings.
  2. Send the generated setup prompt to Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok's developer agent, or another compatible local agent. It configures https://videodatabase.io/mcp using the client's native MCP settings, authenticates with the scoped token, and verifies access.

Hosted ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok use OAuth

The manually created VideoDatabase token works with local agents that accept a custom bearer header. Hosted ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok connectors use VideoDatabase OAuth account linking instead.

Choose only what you need

Permissions control what an AI client can do with your VideoDatabase account.

  • Search videos: search, resolve video URLs, read analysis, and retrieve Video DNA.

  • Creator Panel: generate hooks, video ideas, and scripts in your saved voice. Included with Pro.
  • Strategy Bot: ask the Content Oracle for strategy analysis. Included with Pro.

Try asking

  • Search VideoDatabase for recent personal-finance hooks and show me the five strongest.
  • Analyze this TikTok if it is new, then pull its Video DNA and write three variations in my voice.
  • Ask Strategy Bot which repeatable formats best fit a founder-led brand.

No skill or special command required

The model discovers VideoDatabase tools automatically and chooses them when a request matches. Skills are optional workflow instructions, not required to search or act on VideoDatabase.
