What is Videoseek?

Videoseek is an MCP server that gives AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) the ability to search videos by meaning, ask questions about videos, remember information persistently, import content from social media, and analyze videos on‑the‑fly. It is built for developers and power users who want to make video content searchable and queryable through natural language.
