Unlock the full potential of your video library by connecting ScreenApp directly to your favorite AI assistants. With the Model Context Protocol (MCP), you can grant Claude and ChatGPT secure access to your transcripts, summaries, and video metadata to answer complex questions and automate workflows.
This guide walks you through the complete setup process, from generating your API key to asking your first question.
What is ScreenApp MCP?
- Direct AI Access - Query your entire video library from Claude or ChatGPT without switching tabs. Your AI assistant becomes a super-analyst for all your recorded content.
- Secure and Private - The MCP server only reads the specific data required to answer your prompt. Your full video library is not used to train public AI models.
- Natural Language Queries - No code required. Ask questions like “What were the action items from my last marketing meeting?” and get instant answers from your transcripts.
- Cross-Video Analysis - Find patterns across multiple videos, identify recurring themes, and extract insights from weeks or months of recorded meetings.
What Can You Do with ScreenApp MCP?
Once connected, your AI assistant becomes a powerful tool for video content analysis. Here are some example queries:
- “Based on my marketing meetings last month, what were the main blockers?” - Analyze trends across multiple videos
- “Find the video where we discussed the Q3 roadmap and summarize the action items.” - Search and extract specific information
- “Draft a follow-up email based on the transcript of the ‘Client Kickoff’ call.” - Generate content from video transcripts
- “Review my last 5 sales calls. What is the most common customer objection?” - Identify patterns and insights
- “Who attended the ‘All Hands’ meeting on Tuesday?” - Check metadata and participants

Frequently Asked Questions
This usually means the AI isn't recognizing the MCP tool. Try being more explicit in your prompt:
- Instead of: "What did we discuss in the meeting?"
- Try: "Use the ScreenApp tool to search for videos about [topic]"
You can also verify the connection by checking for the plug icon (Claude) or ensuring ScreenApp is toggled on in the Tools menu (ChatGPT).
For Claude Desktop:
- Verify the Server URL is correct:
https://api.screenapp.io/v2/mcp/sse - Ensure OAuth 2.0 is selected as the authentication method
- Check that the MCP integration is enabled in ScreenApp Dashboard → Settings → Integrations
For Both Platforms:
- Verify your ScreenApp account has MCP access enabled
- Try disconnecting and reconnecting the MCP server
- Completely restart the AI assistant application
