VideoLens developer tooling
Video analysis through a Chrome extension and MCP integration.
Developer tooling for video analysis: a published Chrome extension and an MCP integration connect video inputs to a pipeline grounded in speech, sampled frames and on-screen text. This case focuses on the extension and agent integration; the browser-based product is showcased separately by Astra Web Dev.
- Problem
- Transcript summarisers miss what is on screen. Bug reports, lectures and demos carry their evidence in the frames.
- Build
- A Chrome extension and MCP integration around a multi-signal pipeline. Speech, sampled frames and OCR contribute timestamped evidence; authentication, report exports and cost-aware caching belong to the connected service.
- Outcome
- A published Chrome extension and implemented MCP integration. Hosted MCP readiness and supported client paths should be checked against current product documentation before relying on them.
