VideoDB integrations

Connect VideoDB to any other app, or use it from your AI client over MCP. VideoDB is an AI engine for video workflows—search scenes, cut clips, dub, subtitles, and apply GenAI effects.

Connects with an API keyvideodb.com

What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.

Questions

VideoDB, answered

Is there a VideoDB MCP server?

APIANT's MCP server at https://mcp.apiant.ai works with VideoDB. Add that address to any AI client that takes a remote MCP server and sign in once in your browser. Your client can then run VideoDB actions on demand, or have APIANT build, test and run automations that use VideoDB. Nothing to install.

What can start an automation from VideoDB?

Any of VideoDB's 1 trigger in the catalog, including New Video Uploaded & Indexed. Describe the moment in plain language and your agent picks the right one.

What can your agent do in VideoDB?

Any of VideoDB's 21 actions, including Create Highlight Clip, Upload & Index Video, Add Collection and Add Overlay / Watermark. Your agent maps the data both ways and tests every scenario before it ships.

Can I use VideoDB directly from Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect your AI client to APIANT once and it works with VideoDB two ways. Ask it to do something in VideoDB once and it runs that action on the spot. Ask for an automation and your agent builds it, tests every scenario and keeps it running on its own. A one-off action uses your plan's tasks the same way an automation step does.

Do I need to write code against the VideoDB API?

No. APIANT connects to the VideoDB API for you, with your VideoDB API key. Describe what you want in plain language and your agent builds it on the VideoDB triggers and actions in the catalog. If you need an endpoint that is not there yet, your agent reads the VideoDB API documentation and adds it.

Which apps can VideoDB connect to?

Any app in the catalog; the list on this page pairs VideoDB with each of them. If the other app is missing, point your agent at its API documentation and it builds the connector.

What happens when something fails?

Your agent works that out for you. It plans the failure paths along with the happy path, then tests every scenario before it ships.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Every plan includes the agent, including free, and building from your own AI client spends no assistant credits.
