MCP

AI-agent format

Chain search → import → interrogate in one agent

The full pipeline in one conversation: find the best sources, pull them into the library, and question them — hands off.

The use case

The problem

Every deep-research session on video content has the same three movements: find the sources worth reading, capture them somewhere stable, then interrogate them until the question is answered. Done manually — even with good tools — you're the conductor: run the search, review, trigger the imports, wait, ask the questions, repeat for the follow-ups.

The conductor role is delegable. MCP agents chain tools natively: one well-shaped instruction runs the whole pipeline — search, curate, import, interrogate — and returns with the cited answer, sources archived. You state the research goal; the movements happen.

The mechanics

How veridive MCP helps

The chain is three tools your assistant sequences on its own. deep_search finds and ranks the candidates — quality verdicts doing the curation your review pass used to. library_import_youtube_video captures the top sources into your library, permanent and re-queryable. deep_context interrogates the imported set, returning answers cited to the chunks.

One prompt describes the whole arc: "research <question>: find the strongest sources, import the best ones, then answer from them with citations." The agent runs the movements, you receive the answer plus a durable asset — the imported sources, which every follow-up question queries for the cost of the question. It's the pattern underneath half the library-based use cases, stated once and reusable for any topic.

Step by step

How to run it

  1. 1
    Connect veridive MCP

    One-time setup: add the veridive MCP server to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and generate your API key. Takes about two minutes.

  2. 2
    State the goal, not the steps

    The agent sequences search → curate → import → interrogate from one instruction.

    Research <question>: find the strongest videos on it, import the top 5 into my library tagged '<topic>', then answer the question from those sources with citations.
  3. 3
    Follow up against the same corpus

    The imports persist — every follow-up is a scoped question, not a new pipeline.

    From the '<topic>' imports: <follow-up question>? Cited.
  4. 4
    Extend when the corpus thins

    When follow-ups outgrow the sources, the agent widens: search again, import the delta, continue.

    The current sources don't cover <angle> — find and import 3 more that do, then answer.
Before vs after

Problems it solves

  • Deep research on video needs a human conductor between every tool step.
  • Ad-hoc research leaves nothing behind — the next question repeats the whole hunt.
  • Curation-by-review eats the time the reading deserved.
  • Follow-up questions get answered from memory of sources instead of the sources.
The payoff

Why it's valuable

  • One instruction runs the full pipeline; you conduct outcomes, not steps.
  • Every research session leaves a durable, tagged corpus behind.
  • Follow-ups cost one scoped question against sources already vetted and imported.
  • The pattern generalizes: any topic, same instruction shape, reusable forever.

Example prompts

Research <question>: find, import top 5 tagged '<topic>', answer cited.
From '<topic>' imports: <follow-up>? Cited.
Corpus lacks <angle> — import 3 more that cover it, then answer.
Questions

FAQ

How does the agent pick which sources to import?

deep_search's ranking and quality verdicts do the triage; your instruction sets the bar ('top 5', 'factual only', 'include niche channels'). You can also ask to see the candidates before the import step — conductor mode on demand.

What does a full pipeline run cost?

Search + per-video imports + the context question — a deliberate spend per research goal. The follow-ups are where it pays back: each is just a scoped question against paid-for sources.

Is this what the domain-specific use cases are built on?

Many of them, yes — the thesis file, the watchtower, the rationale library are this pipeline with domain framing. This page is the general pattern, stated once.
