Tools 17 found in our last check
upload_videoUpload a video from a URL. Returns a video_id. Local file paths are not accepted; upload files outside the MCP server and pass a reachable video_url. The upload runs asynchronously — poll get_video until status is 'uploaded', then call index_video to enable search and analysis.
list_videosList all videos in your account, or filter to a specific group by passing group_id. Shows upload status and which features have been indexed for each video. Each video's 'url' is a short-lived HTTPS presigned URL (expires within hours) — fetch immediately and do not store; call…
get_videoGet detailed information about a video including upload status, metadata (duration, resolution, fps), and per-feature indexing status. Use this to check if upload or indexing is complete. The 'url' field is a short-lived HTTPS presigned URL (expires within hours) — fetch immedia…
update_videoUpdate a video's display name, title, description, or move it to a different group. At least one field must be provided. To remove a video from its group, pass group_id as null.
delete_videoPermanently delete a video and all its indexed data (transcript, captions, embeddings, etc.). This cannot be undone.
create_groupCreate a new video group. Groups organize videos into collections. Returns the new group's ID and name.
list_groupsList all video groups. Use list_videos with a group_id to see videos in a specific group.
delete_groupDelete a video group. Videos in the group are not deleted — they are simply removed from the group.
index_videoIndex a video for search, QA, or full analysis. Processes the video through a pipeline of AI features. Typically takes 3-7 minutes; longer for long videos or the 'full' pipeline. Times out after 10 minutes by default. Pipelines: - search_only: transcription + captions + embeddin…
search_videosFind WHEN and WHERE something happens across your videos. Returns timestamped results ranked by relevance — use these timestamps as start/end in ask_video for focused analysis. This is the recommended first step for most questions. Instead of asking ask_video about the entire vi…
ask_videoAsk a question about one or more videos with visual analysis. Most effective on focused time ranges — use start/end to specify the segment to analyze. BEFORE calling this tool, read the reka://docs/guide resource for recommended workflows. In most cases, you should first: - sear…
segment_videoDetect objects in a video segment using text prompts. Describe what to look for and get per-frame detections with bounding boxes and confidence scores. Prompt tips: - Use broad, visual categories: 'animal', 'vehicle', 'person', 'text on screen' - Specific labels ('rabbit', 'Toyo…
get_transcriptGet the spoken words in a video. Use this instead of ask_video when you need to read what was said — it returns the actual text, not a summary. Use start/end to narrow results for long videos. Requires the transcript feature to be indexed.
get_captionsGet AI-generated visual descriptions of what happens on screen. Use this to understand the visual content without watching — each caption describes a short segment with timestamps. Use start/end to narrow results. Requires the captions feature (qa_only or full pipeline).
get_scenesGet detected scene boundaries with start/end timestamps. Use this to understand the video's structure, then pass scene timestamps as start/end to: - ask_video for per-scene contextual analysis - segment_video to detect specific objects per scene (scenes typically fit in segment_…
get_feature_catalogList available video analysis features with their dependencies and descriptions. Use this to understand what features exist and what pipelines to use with index_video.
summarize_videoStart here. Get a compact overview of a video: metadata, which features are indexed, a transcript preview, and scene count. Use this to decide which tools to call next — then use segment_video to detect specific objects in time ranges of interest.
