io.github.BrightWayAI/video-analyzer — MCP Server for Media & Images

Video Analyzer

Analyze videos and generate storyboard breakdowns. Extracts frames via scene detection, transcribes audio with Whisper, analyzes visuals with Claude Vision, and computes 8-field stylistic fingerprints.

Features

Frame Extraction — Scene-detection-based keyframe selection (or fixed intervals)
Audio Transcription — Timestamped transcription via OpenAI Whisper
Visual Analysis — Per-frame descriptions using Claude Vision
Stylistic Fingerprint v3 — 8-field deterministic classification (rendering class, world type, character strategy, narrative structure, visual abstraction, visual density, camera language, tonal positioning)
Storyboard Output — Combined shot-by-shot breakdown as .docx or .md

MCP Server

This project includes an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server so you can use video analysis directly from Claude Desktop or Claude Code.

Install via Claude Code

claude mcp add video-analyzer -s user -- uvx video-analyzer-mcp
