Video Vision MCP Overview

Analyze local files, direct URLs, and prepared Jira attachments with the video-vision-mcp MCP server through Claude Code. It extracts sampled frames with ffmpeg and creates transcripts using local whisper.cpp by default, while optional OpenAI, Groq, or Gemini credentials enable cloud backends. Gemini takes precedence when configured, followed by OpenAI, Groq, and local processing. Use it when an agent needs visual and spoken context from a video rather than only its filename or link.
