Use when the user mentions a video file (.mp4, .mov, .avi, .mkv, .webm), a YouTube URL, asks to watch/analyze/review a video, or references video content in conversation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Video Perception

You have access to video understanding tools via the claude-video-vision MCP server.

## Available Tools

- `video_analyze` — Analyze video structure with ffmpeg filters (scene changes, silence, motion, etc.). Use this BEFORE extracting frames to plan your strategy.
- `video_watch` — Extract frames + process audio from a video. Supports variable FPS/resolution per segment.
- `video_detail` — Drill into specific segments. Separates extraction from viewing — extract many frames, view few at a time.
- `video_info` — Get video metadata without processing.
- `video_configure` — Change settings (backend, resolution, enable_index, etc.).
- `video_setup` — Check/install dependencies.

## Workflow

**IMPORTANT: You MUST follow these steps in order. Do NOT skip step 2.**

1. Always start with `video_info` to get duration, resolution, and audio presence.
   If the user gives a YouTube URL, pass the URL directly as `path`.
   The MCP server downloads it with `yt-dlp`, prefers YouTube subtitles/auto-captions
   for transcription, and falls back to the configured audio backend only when
   captions are missing, empty, or suspiciously incomplete.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add jordanrendric/claude-video-vision/video-perception@sha256:ed07b610734a6b5e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.301a462, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
