MCP

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor & any MCP client

Bring veridive into your AI assistant

The veridive MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor — any MCP-compatible client — search, research, and chat over YouTube transcripts through natural conversation. DeepSearch, DeepQuery, DeepContext, and 12 tools, straight from your assistant.

The basics

What is the MCP server?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external tools and data. The veridive MCP server gives your assistant direct access to your library and our YouTube research pipelines.

Natural language

Ask in plain English — no code. Your assistant picks the right tool and calls it for you.

12 tools

From transcript search and library import to agentic research that synthesizes grounded answers.

Secure & metered

Bearer-token auth, the same credits and limits as the app. Available on every plan.

From a question to an answer

See it work, end-to-end

Pick a prompt, hit Run, and watch the matching Deep tool fire phase-by-phase — then the grounded result reveals.

Reference

Twelve tools, exposed to any MCP client. The three “Deep” tools mirror veridive's DeepQuery, DeepContext, and DeepSearch.

The Deep trio
deep_queryCredits

Agentic YouTube research: search → select → transcribe → retrieve → generate, returning a grounded answer with inline timestamp citations.

deep_contextCredits

Chat over a selection of videos in your library. Answers are grounded in those transcripts with citations back to the exact chunks.

deep_searchCredits

Find the videos that actually answer a query — ranked cards with quality verdicts (ad-free, high-density, actionable…), not just the most-viewed.

Library
library_searchFree

Full-text search across the videos in your library.

library_listFree

Browse and filter your saved content with sorting.

library_import_youtube_videoCredits

Import a single YouTube video into your library.

library_import_youtube_channelCredits

Import a whole channel (or playlist) into your library.

YouTube
get_youtube_transcriptFree

Fetch the stored transcript + metadata for an imported video.

run_youtube_toolCredits

Run any of 32 tools on a video — summarizer, flashcards, quiz, study notes, blog post, and more.

Conversational & utility
chatCredits

Plain conversational chat with no YouTube retrieval — follow-ups, clarifications, brainstorming.

pingFree

Health check — verify your client can reach veridive.

get_credit_statusFree

Read your wallet balance, plan tier, and today's free-quota remaining.

Plans & limits

Credits & quotas

On every plan

The MCP server is open on every plan, including Free. Usage is credit-metered — connecting only needs credits in your wallet.

See plans

A daily free budget

Catalog tool runs (run_youtube_tool) come with a daily free credit budget that resets each day; beyond it, runs draw from your wallet. Check anytime with get_credit_status.

Fair-use rate limits apply per account (per-tool, per-minute, and a short burst window). Long-running tools like deep_query stream progress while they work.
