VideoDB · Build agents with visual intelligence

# VideoDB > VideoDB is an applied lab for visual intelligence. It builds video infrastructure for agents and devices that see: an agent can upload or stream video, then search it, clip it and remember it. Four layers sit behind one API: primitives (streams, frames and in-house transcoding into a frame-addressable form), model-agnostic understanding (any model as an analyzer), indexes that make video searchable, and delivery (MCP tools, SDKs, WebSocket events, webhooks and a playable stream per result), run in VideoDB's cloud or the customer's. VideoDB exposes the whole site as Markdown alongside the HTML. Every page has a `.md` counterpart at the same path (`/agents` and `/agents.md`, `/blog/<slug>` and `/blog/<slug>.md`). Each HTML page declares this with `<link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown">` in its `<head>`. The whole site is also available concatenated at `/llms-full.txt`. ## Key facts - Use it from an agent: add the VideoDB plugin in Claude (https://videodb.io/claude), install the Claude Code plugin (`/plugin marketplace add video-db/skills`, then `/plugin install videodb@videodb-skills`), or add the remote MCP server `https://mcp.videodb.io/mcp` (Streamable HTTP) to Cursor or any MCP client and log in once. 70 tools: bring video in, understand it, search it, edit it, stream any result, watch live cameras and screens. - Free to start: $20 of free credits, no credit card, at https://console.videodb.io. - What people use it for: describing what is on screen, chapters and notes for lectures, finding moments, social clips, subtitles and translation, sports and coaching review, meeting follow-up, driving and security labelling, turning screen recordings into agent skills. - Visual memory: long-term memory is the index of everything seen; short-term memory is the frames a task needs, back in about half a second; real-time memory is the live stream. - Solutions built with teams, each with its own page: for teams with archival footage (sports, gaming, social
