"url": "https://contendeo.app/mcp/"
}

Contendeo
Give your agent eyes.
Contendeo is the multimodal layer that lets your AI actually see video — not just read its transcript.
What it is
Contendeo is a remote MCP server that gives LLMs frame-level context from video — transcription, keyframe vision analysis, OCR, and structured output, unified into a single response your agent can reason over.
Paste a YouTube, Instagram Reels, Vimeo, Twitter/X, TikTok, or direct video URL into Claude (or any MCP client). Contendeo downloads, transcribes, extracts keyframes, runs OCR, analyzes visuals, and returns a structured document.
Live at contendeo.app. MCP endpoint at contendeo.app/mcp/.
Why it exists
Transcripts capture what was said. They don't capture what was shown — chart values, UI states, overlays, code on screen, circled regions, dashboard numbers. For any video where the visual layer carries information (trading tutorials, product demos, technical walkthroughs, data dashboards, design reviews), transcript-only analysis misses half the signal.
Contendeo closes that gap.

Tools
Four tools exposed over MCP. Credit costs charged per successful call. Cache hits are free.
| Tool | Credits | What it does |
|---|---|---|
quick_transcribe | 1 | Timestamped transcript with speaker identification. Audio-only. Fast. |
deep_analyze | 5 | Full multimodal pipeline — transcript + keyframe vision + OCR, unified output. |
clip_context | 1 (quick) / 3 (deep) | Analyze a specific timestamp range without paying for the full video. |
batch_analyze | per-video, −10% at 5+ | Process up to 10 videos in parallel with cross-video synthesis. |
Full schemas and response formats: docs/tools.md.
