# Panda Video MCP server > Upload, organize and configure hosted videos, read analytics, and generate AI subtitles and Shorts from your assistant. - Listing: https://mcp.tc/i/panda-video - Connect: use the server's own URL `https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp` (OAuth sign-in at the server); clients connect to it directly. The listing link is a page, not an MCP endpoint. - Type: remote (Streamable HTTP) - Auth: OAuth sign-in - Category: [Design, Websites & CMS](https://mcp.tc/c/design) - Vendor: Panda Video - Homepage: - Docs: - Repository: ## About Connects to a Panda Video account so an assistant can list and search videos, rename them, import from a URL, manage folders and playlists, read analytics, handle subtitles and thumbnails, change player settings, and work with Shorts. Video listings include the embed and HLS URLs. The server is hosted at https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp (full catalogue of 177 tools). A smaller 29-tool endpoint at /mcp/directory suits chat assistants. Users sign in with their Panda Video account through OAuth, or send a Panda Video API key in the Authorization header. Requests are limited to 60 per minute per account. ## What it can do - List, search and rename videos, and import a video from a URL - Create folders, move videos and build playlists - Read views, retention curve, top videos and account totals - Read subtitles and generate them with AI - Add thumbnails to videos - Read and change player and per-video configuration - Import a video and list the Shorts cut from it ## Example prompts - "List my five most recent videos on Panda Video" - "Generate AI subtitles for my latest course video" - "Show the retention curve for my top video this month" - "Create a playlist called Onboarding and add three videos to it" ## Install ### Claude Code 1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder: ```bash claude mcp add --transport http panda-video https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp ``` 2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **panda-video** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Panda Video sign-in. Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one. ### Claude Desktop 1. Open **Customize → Connectors**, click **+ Add**, then **Add custom connector**. 2. Name it **Panda Video** and paste this URL: ```url https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp ``` 3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Panda Video asks. Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too. ### claude.ai 1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you: [Add to claude.ai]() (opens connector settings) 2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp` and click **Add**. 3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Panda Video asks. Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**. ### ChatGPT 1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**. 2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server. 3. Paste `https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Panda Video to sign in. Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts. ### Cursor [Add to Cursor]() (opens Cursor) Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project): `mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "panda-video": { "url": "https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp" } } } ``` Cursor shows **Needs authentication** next to the server. Click the button beside it to sign in. ### VS Code [Install in VS Code]() (opens VS Code) Or from a terminal: ```bash code --add-mcp '{"name":"panda-video","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp"}' ``` Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`: `.vscode/mcp.json`: ```json { "servers": { "panda-video": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp" } } } ``` VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts. ### Devin Desktop 1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows): `mcp_config.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "panda-video": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp" } } } ``` 2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked. Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers. ### Codex ```bash codex mcp add panda-video --url https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp codex mcp login panda-video ``` Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly: `config.toml`: ```toml [mcp_servers.panda-video] url = "https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp" ``` ### Gemini CLI ```bash gemini mcp add --transport http panda-video https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp ``` Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth panda-video` to sign in. This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere. ### Any client Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file. ```json { "mcpServers": { "panda-video": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp" } } } ``` Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE. Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.pandavideo.com/mcp`. ## Details - Server version: 2.1.0 - Last checked: 2026-10-08 (reachable, asks for credentials) - Listed: 2026-10-08 - Updated: 2026-10-08 --- Source: https://mcp.tc/i/panda-video (mcp.tc is an independent directory, not affiliated with this server's publisher).
