VidNotes Platform — client packages
Public client packages for the VidNotes developer platform. Call VidNotes video intelligence from Claude, Codex, the terminal, or your own code: transcripts, summaries, chapters, multi-video comparisons, and saved notes.
These are thin clients over the hosted VidNotes API (https://api.vidnotes.app).
The backend and apps are closed-source; everything you run locally is in this repo.
Packages
| Package | What it is | Install |
|---|---|---|
@vidnotes/mcp-server | MCP server — 13 tools for any MCP client (Claude, Codex, …) | npx -y @vidnotes/mcp-server |
@vidnotes/cli | Command-line interface for scripts and automation | npm i -g @vidnotes/cli |
@vidnotes/api-client | Typed JavaScript client the CLI and MCP server are built on | npm i @vidnotes/api-client |
Quickstart
