MCP server
A video MCP server: let Claude watch any video
Add one URL to Claude and it can watch YouTube, TikTok and Instagram videos for you: what is said, which brands are on screen, and answers with timestamps. Works in Codex and other AI apps too.
Ask in plain words
Your assistant does the rest and reads the results back to you.
- Sponsorships
- "Is this TikTok a paid partnership, and does the creator say so?"
- Brands
- "Which brands are on screen in this reel, and for how long?"
- Takeaways
- "Give me the key points of this YouTube video in five bullets."
- Many videos
- "Check these ten links and tell me which ones mention our rival."
- New uploads
- "Follow @betterstack and send me the takeaways of every AI video in Slack."

Your account, your limits
- Sign in once
- You sign in with your NetraFlow account and approve the workspace the assistant will use. There is no key to copy.
- Your plan, your limits
- The assistant works within your plan, with the same limits and credits as the website, and asks before anything that changes your account.
- Stays signed in
- You approve the connection again every 30 days, and it stops when you leave the workspace.
For developers: connect and what the tools return
Commands for Claude Code, Codex and any client config. get_analysis returns the same body as the REST endpoint, so what works in your code works in the chat.

Which assistants does it work with?
Claude (on the web, Claude Desktop and Claude Code), Codex, and any other app that supports MCP. Apps that only support the older SSE connection use https://mcp.netraflow.com/sse.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol, the standard way an AI assistant uses outside tools. Add NetraFlow and your assistant can analyze videos, read the results and follow creators.
Can it analyze a file on my computer?
No, it takes links only. Upload the file on the NetraFlow website and the assistant can read the result from there.
Which workspace does it act on?
The one you approve when you connect: the first workspace you joined, if you belong to several. Switching workspaces is not possible yet.
Does it cost more than the website?
No. A video costs the same however you start it. Reading results, checking credits and listing follows cost nothing.
