Claude Real Video Overview

The claude-real-video MCP server project provides a local Python tool for preparing videos for LLM review. It accepts URLs or local files, detects scene changes, removes near-duplicate frames, and creates a timestamped transcript from subtitles or Whisper. Outputs include keyframes, a manifest, optional contact sheets, and optionally the original soundtrack. Use it when an AI model needs visual video context without uploading the source video for processing.
