Security scores are indicators to help you make informed decisions, not guarantees. Always review permissions before connecting any MCP server.
Remote servers are capped at 8.0 because source code is not available for review. The score reflects endpoint verification only.

npx -y @sylphx/anymd. This repository is archived.
Cue
Video answers with timestamp-level proof
Cue gives agents a local video timeline they can search and cite. The default read returns container metadata, streams, chapters, and embedded subtitles. Scenes and frames are separate.
npx -y @sylphx/cue
For Claude Code:
claude mcp add cue -- npx -y @sylphx/cue
Read a local video
{
"sources": [{ "path": "/absolute/path/to/demo.mp4" }]
}
That call uses the fast profile. It returns container metadata, streams,
chapters, and embedded subtitles. It does not detect scenes, extract frames,
or run speech recognition.
Then ask:
“Which chapter covers the pricing change?”
Cue returns chapter and subtitle locators with timestamp_ms and the source
hash. It does not invent a transcript. A quote search matches embedded
subtitles only. Render or crop a frame afterwards with video_evidence, once
you have a timestamp.
Jobs Cue is built for
| Ask your agent | Cue returns |
|---|---|
| “Find this quote.” | a timestamped match in embedded subtitles, when those subtitles exist |
| “Summarize this meeting.” | chapters and embedded subtitles |
| “Where is the code shown?” | one frame from video_evidence at a known timestamp |
| “What changed in this demo?” | scene boundaries when profile is quality or include_scenes is set |
| “Give me the useful moments.” | chapters, embedded subtitles, warnings, and gaps |
Tool surface
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
read_video | Default fast profile: container metadata, streams, chapters, and embedded subtitles. Scenes are opt-in. |
search_video | Search embedded subtitle cues. It does not run speech recognition. |
video_evidence | Named follow-up: render, crop, or OCR one frame at a timestamp |
Predictable defaults
- Omitted
profileisfast: container metadata, streams, chapters, and embedded subtitles. No scenes, frames, or speech recognition. profilequalityadds ffmpeg scene detection. It does not extract frames or run speech recognition.include_keyframesandinclude_transcriptstay off. Setting either one on the shipped server returns a warning and an empty array.- OCR stays on
video_evidence. - No cloud video API or frame-by-frame vision model is required.
- Missing ffprobe or embedded subtitles is reported as a gap, not guessed around.
Why agents trust it
Every claim can point back to timestamp_ms, a stream index, a subtitle range,
or the source hash. A frame index is present only after video_evidence.
