SETUP GUIDE

Connect VideoDB MCP Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/mcp @ai-sdk/openai
Install the Composio SDK and your agent framework
2

Create a session with MCP enabled

typescript
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";

const composio = new Composio();
const { mcp } = await composio.create("your-user-id", {
  toolkits: ["video_db"],
  mcp: true,
});
Create a session scoped to VideoDB and read its MCP URL and headers
3

Connect your agent to the MCP server

typescript
import { createMCPClient } from "@ai-sdk/mcp";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";
import { generateText, stepCountIs } from "ai";

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: { type: "http", url: mcp.url, headers: mcp.headers },
});

const { text } = await generateText({
  model: openai("gpt-5.6-sol"),
  tools: await client.tools(),
  prompt: "Search my VideoDB collection for videos mentioning quarterly revenue",
  stopWhen: stepCountIs(10),
});

console.log(text);
await client.close();
Pass the session's MCP URL and headers to your agent and run a VideoDB request
SETUP GUIDE

Connect VideoDB API Tool with your Agent

1

Install Composio

typescript
npm install @composio/core @composio/openai openai
Install the Composio SDK, the OpenAI provider, and the OpenAI SDK
2

Create a Composio session

typescript
import OpenAI from "openai";
import { Composio } from "@composio/core";
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from "@composio/openai";

const composio = new Composio({ provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider() });
const client = new OpenAI();

const session = await composio.create("your-user-id", { toolkits: ["video_db"] });
const tools = await session.tools();
Initialize Composio with the OpenAI Responses provider and create a session scoped to VideoDB
3

Run VideoDB tools with your agent

typescript
let response = await client.responses.create({
  model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
  tools,
  input: [{ role: "user", content: "Search my VideoDB collection for videos mentioning quarterly revenue" }],
});

while (response.output.some((o) => o.type === "function_call")) {
  const outputs = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(session, response.output);
  response = await client.responses.create({
    model: "gpt-5.6-sol",
    tools,
    previous_response_id: response.id,
    input: outputs,
  });
}

console.log(response.output_text);
Send a request, execute the VideoDB tool calls through the session, and print the final answer

Why Use Composio?

AI Native VideoDB Integration

  • Supports both VideoDB MCP and direct API based integrations
  • Structured, LLM-friendly schemas for reliable video, audio, and image workflows
  • Rich coverage for storing, searching, understanding, editing, and generating media in VideoDB

Managed Auth

  • Secure API key handling so your VideoDB credentials are not hard-coded in agent code
  • Central place to manage, scope, and revoke VideoDB access across users and environments
  • Per user and per environment credentials for safer media automation

Agent Optimized Design

  • Tools are tuned for AI agents, so prompts like searching scenes or summarizing transcripts map cleanly to VideoDB actions
  • Execution logs help you see exactly what media operation ran, when, and on whose behalf
  • Cleaner tool schemas reduce agent guesswork when working with videos, audio, images, and collections

Enterprise Grade Security

  • Fine-grained RBAC so you control which agents and users can access VideoDB
  • Scoped, least privilege access to VideoDB projects, collections, and media workflows
  • Full audit trail of agent actions to support review, debugging, and compliance
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes, VideoDB requires you to configure your own API key credentials. Once set up, Composio handles secure credential storage and API request handling for you.

Yes! Composio's Tool Router enables agents to use multiple toolkits. Learn more.

Yes. Composio is SOC 2 Type II compliant and is built to keep your VideoDB connection and credentials secure. OAuth tokens and API keys are encrypted, and sensitive customer data is protected at rest and in transit.

Composio also undergoes independent security testing and continuously monitors its systems for security threats. You can review the latest reports and policies in the Composio Trust Center.

Composio maintains and updates all toolkit integrations automatically, so your agents always work with the latest API versions.

Create the key in your VideoDB account settings, then paste it once on Composio's connection page. Composio stores it encrypted and uses it only for the VideoDB actions your agent runs. Nobody else in your workspace can read it, and you can revoke it inside VideoDB at any time.

When you connect a VideoDB account through Composio, every action runs under that account, so anything the agent creates, sends, or changes shows up in VideoDB as done by you. Keep an approval step in your prompt for actions with side effects, such as sending or deleting, and have the agent draft first.

Whatever the credentials you connect allow inside VideoDB. If VideoDB lets you scope a key to specific permissions, create a scoped one so the agent can only do what you intend. You can revoke the key inside VideoDB at any time.

Yes. Composio supports multiple connected accounts for the same app, and that works in Claude, ChatGPT, or any other assistant you connect through Composio. Give each VideoDB connection a name such as work or personal, and the assistant uses the one you mention in the request. Each account keeps its own credentials and nothing is merged.

The connection stops working the moment VideoDB rejects the old key. Create a new key in VideoDB and reconnect the account from the Composio dashboard or by asking your agent to reconnect VideoDB. Nothing else changes.

Composio's free Hobby plan includes 100,000 tool calls per month with no credit card, which covers most personal VideoDB use. Paid plans add higher limits and team features. Your VideoDB plan and its API limits still apply as usual.

Built-in connectors usually give one AI access to a limited set of apps. Many people use Composio because it lets their AI connect to more apps than it normally supports, or connect to multiple accounts for the same app (e.g. connect Claude to multiple VideoDB accounts).

With Composio, you connect VideoDB once and then use it across different AI assistants without setting it up separately in each one. Connect your apps to Composio once, then connect Composio to whichever AI you use, whether that's Claude, ChatGPT, Hermes, or your own custom assistant.
