# open.video MCP

Remote MCP server for open.video — video upload, channels, playlists, analytics, and monetization.

## Install

### Cursor / Claude Code / Windsurf (url type)
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "open-video": { "url": "https://mcp.open.video/mcp" } } }
```

### Claude Desktop (Custom Connector)
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL: `https://mcp.open.video`

### Claude Desktop (mcp-remote fallback)
Use if Custom Connectors is unavailable. Requires Node.js.
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "open-video": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.open.video/mcp"] } } }
```

## Auth

OAuth is automatic for Custom Connectors. For other clients, call `openvideo_register(email)` to start sign-in — a browser opens, enter the emailed code.

## Local File Uploads

Local file uploads require the Upload Helper:

- **Claude Desktop**: install the [Upload Helper extension](https://mcp.open.video/extension) (double-click the .mcpb file)
- **Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Code**: add a second MCP entry:
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "open-video-upload": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "open-video-upload-helper"] } } }
```

URL uploads (`sourceUrl`) do not need the Upload Helper.

## Verify

Call `list_channels` to confirm auth is working.
