  "description": "Valossa's official remote MCP hands an agent a watched-and-indexed copy of your footage: speech transcripts, shot and visual-scene breakdowns, overviews, summaries and highlights, natural-language questions about what is on screen, and clip export that comes back as a download URL. For an assistant editor it is the logging pass — find the take, find the soundbite, pull the selects — run against material Valossa has already analysed instead of against raw files. Uploads are a two-step prepare-then-commit handshake, and get_quota_status exists because everything interesting here costs quota.",

  "notes": "There is no free tier, only a 7-day trial: 30 analysis minutes, 100 task credits, no card, and a 15-minute cap per video while trialling. After that it is a EUR 29 credit pack or monthly plans from EUR 14.90. Two meters run at once — imports burn analysis minutes, exports and agent questions burn task credits — so check get_quota_status before turning an agent loose on a feature-length rush. Hard ceilings are 7 GB and 5 hours per file. It analyses, it does not edit: clips arrive as download URLs, and there is no NLE round-trip, no EDL, no timeline. Closest comparison is the TwelveLabs entry; the reason to pick this one is jurisdiction — Valossa is Finnish and states that video stays in the EU and is not used to train models. Registered in the official MCP Registry as com.valossa/video-assistant-mcp (v1.0.0, published 2026-06-25). No public source repo, so the documentation page is the only reference, and roughly half the 23 documented tools write data or spend quota."
