README

Contendeo

Give your agent eyes.

Contendeo is the multimodal layer that lets your AI actually see video — not just read its transcript.

MCP Compatible Smithery

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.

See the side-by-side comparison at contendeo.app/demo.

Tools

Four tools exposed over MCP. Credit costs charged per successful call. Cache hits are free.

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.
