Summary	MCP server for video analysis — extracts transcripts, key frames, OCR text, and annotated timelines from video URLs. Supports Loom and direct video files (.mp4, .webm). Zero auth required.	Local OCR and image analysis via Apple Vision Framework. Wraps macOS's native Vision API to expose OCR for images and PDFs (with reading-order paragraphs, bounding boxes, line/paragraph IDs, and confidence), face / barcode / QR / document-corner detection, and image classification — all as MCP tools any client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex CLI) can call. 97% token savings vs sending raw images. Fully offline, no API keys, files never leave the Mac. One-line install: npx -y macos-vision-mcp.
