Cloudglue MCP Server
Cloudglue video collection data integration for LLM-powered analysis workflows.
Data last scanned today · Reviewed today
Overview
Cloudglue MCP Server provides a bridge to interact with your video collections via AI assistants. By processing video data into structured formats, it allows LLMs to ingest and reason over your video library directly. Installation requires a Cloudglue API key and supports configuration via JSON settings files in standard MCP clients or through a dedicated desktop extension for Claude.
Our verdict
With a security score of 38/100, this server carries a high risk level. The authentication method and read-only mode support remain unreviewed, and as a community-maintained tool rather than an official vendor release, users should exercise caution regarding the handling of their API credentials.
- Small footprint with only five direct dependencies
- Active repository with commits within the last 24 hours
- Open source project under the MIT license
- High-risk security score due to lack of editorial review
- Authentication process not yet audited for potential vulnerabilities
- Status of read-only mode is currently unverified
Setup

}Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows), then restart Claude Desktop. Some servers require API keys or tokens as environment variables — check the project's README and add an "env" object if needed.
- No read-only mode — running this grants full read/write access.
- No built-in authentication — anyone with access to this config can invoke every tool it exposes.
