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 (145)

The server exposes the whole Vidocu platform. Grouped by area:

• Videos and projects - upload, list, rename, move and delete videos; project folders
• Processing - process_video (analyze, voiceover, article, export and translate in one call), plus each step on its own, subtitles, scripts and download links
• AI Recorder - start_recording describes a flow in plain words and an AI agent drives a real browser to record it. When a login asks for a one-time code, the agent pauses and answer_recording_prompt passes on the code you give it. Needs a paid plan.
• Knowledge Center - sections, articles, publishing a video's article, translation, ask_knowledge_base (answers with citations), redirects, analytics and offline exports
• Courses and training - courses built from documents, storyboards, generated modules, quizzes, attempts, sign-offs, deadlines and training_planner
• Studio and Remix - multi-track Studio projects and templates; Remix shorts, blog and social copy from a long video
• Voices, avatars and brand kit - voices, AI avatars, brand kit defaults, pronunciations, glossary, brand skills and brand assets
• Approvals, locks and comments - request and decide approvals, lock a video through a review, review comments
• Micro-tools - list_tools, get_tool, execute_tool (Vidocu's free video tools, programmatically)
• Jobs, usage and webhooks - job status, usage, get_credit_costs to price work before starting it, webhook subscriptions

The full list with a line on each tool is in the MCP documentation.
