VidSeeds.ai MCP marketplace and connector catalog
Drive VidSeeds.ai — pre-upload video SEO & metadata optimization and
multi-platform publishing — directly from your AI coding client.
VidSeeds.ai analyzes a creator's existing video and produces optimized titles,
descriptions, tags, thumbnails, and chapters for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook,
LinkedIn, and X, then publishes them. It is not a video generator or editor.
This repo is the public marketplace/catalog source for the hosted
MCP connector that exposes the VidSeeds.ai workflow
(222 tools, all prefixed vidseeds_). It ships the machine-readable metadata that
different clients expect:
| Client / catalog | What this repo provides |
|---|
| Claude Code | .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, .claude-plugin/plugin.json, .mcp.json, and workflow skills |
| Codex | .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, .codex-plugin/plugin.json, codex.mcp.json, and workflow skills |
| Official MCP Registry and downstream catalogs | root server.json for mcp-publisher and registry-compatible crawlers |
| ChatGPT | source metadata/assets plus docs for the separate Apps SDK endpoint at https://vidseeds.ai/api/mcp/chatgpt |
| Cursor and other MCP clients | copy-paste Streamable HTTP config for https://vidseeds.ai/api/mcp |
The connector ships no credentials — it tells your client how to call the hosted endpoint
with a token you supply.
- Endpoint:
https://vidseeds.ai/api/mcp (MCP Streamable HTTP)
- Auth (this plugin): Personal Access Token (
Authorization: Bearer vs_pat_…)
- Auth (Claude.ai / Desktop): the same endpoint also supports OAuth 2.0 (PKCE + Dynamic Client Registration) — add it as a custom connector, no token needed. See the in-app guide below.
- ChatGPT App: a dedicated endpoint
https://vidseeds.ai/api/mcp/chatgpt powers the OpenAI ChatGPT App (Apps SDK) with rendered result widgets. Local-only tools (ffmpeg/ffprobe recipes, precision-trim, local-audio transcription) are hidden there since ChatGPT has no local shell — use this Claude Code / Codex plugin for those. ChatGPT distribution is through the ChatGPT Apps submission/directory flow, not by adding this Git repo as a custom marketplace.
- Server:
vidseeds v1.9.2 (agent orientation: routing-first server instructions sized for client truncation limits, vidseeds_guide tool, workflow prompts)
More clients & a copy-paste walkthrough: the in-app setup guide at
https://vidseeds.ai/settings/mcp-settings covers Claude.ai & Desktop (OAuth),
Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any other MCP client — with ready-to-copy
snippets for each.
💳 Paid connector — 14-day free trial. The MCP server is available to paid
VidSeeds.ai subscribers. Every account gets a 14-day free trial that starts on the
first MCP connection — including older accounts that have never connected before;
once it ends, an active subscription is required to keep using the connector. Manage
plans at https://vidseeds.ai/pricing.
1. Get a Personal Access Token (required)
- Sign in at https://vidseeds.ai (free account).
- Open Settings → MCP Settings: https://vidseeds.ai/settings/mcp-settings.
- Create a token and copy the secret (
vs_pat_…) — it is shown only once
(90-day default expiry).
- Expose it to your client as the
VIDSEEDS_PAT environment variable (below).
🔒 The token value never belongs in any file. This package references it by name
(VIDSEEDS_PAT); your client injects the value from the environment at connect time.
A leaked PAT grants full non-admin access to your account — treat it like a password.
ℹ️ Creating a token is free, but connecting requires a paid subscription or an active
14-day trial (see above). Beyond access, individual tools spend seeds from your
balance (read-only tools are free) — connection access and per-tool seed cost are
separate, both enforced server-side per call.
2. Install in Claude Code
Option A — install the plugin (recommended)
/plugin marketplace add CarrotGamesStudios/vidseeds-mcp
/plugin install vidseeds@vidseeds
Then make the token available in the environment Claude Code is launched from:
export VIDSEEDS_PAT="vs_pat_your_token_here"
