You run a VideoDB Director MCP Server to expose MCP access for your agents and backends. This server lets your MCP client connect and operate against the VideoDB context, enabling isolated development, testing, and integration with your AI workflows.

How to use

Start the MCP server to enable connections from your MCP client. You can run the server directly with the UVX tool and provide your API key to authorize access. When the server is running, your MCP client can connect and interact with the VideoDB Director context to perform actions and fetch data.

Two common ways to run the server are available. Use the default stable release or opt into the latest version. Each method runs as an independent process that your MCP client can connect to.

To begin, ensure your environment has a valid VideoDB API key. You will supply it as part of the startup command.

How to install

Prerequisites: you need a working Node-compatible environment and the UV/UVX tooling to run MCP servers.

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

To install on Windows, run the PowerShell command to install UV:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

Run the MCP server using UVX with your API key. This starts the VideoDB Director MCP server in standard mode.

uvx videodb-director-mcp --api-key=VIDEODB_API_KEY

If you want to always fetch the latest MCP server version, clear the UV cache first and then run with the latest tag.

uv cache clean

uvx videodb-director-mcp@latest --api-key=<VIDEODB_API_KEY>

Configuration and maintenance

Configure the MCP server and its environment to suit your setup. You can manage updates and ensure you are running compatible context files by using the provided commands and environment variables.

If you need to switch between the default and latest MCP server versions, use the dedicated commands shown above. Always provide your API key when starting the server to enable authenticated access.

Notes and tips

The MCP server is designed to be run in isolated development environments using UVX. This keeps dependencies clean and makes it easy to test agent integrations against VideoDB context.
