Stockfilm

What it does

Stockfilm's hosted MCP puts a vintage home-movie archive — real 8mm and Super 8 reels scanned in 4K, spanning the 1930s to the 1980s — behind nine agent tools: text, year and location search, clip metadata, visual similarity lookup, a rights check, an auto-assembled rough cut, and a quote-to-download licensing chain that settles on Stripe. For a filmmaker it covers the one thing generative video cannot legitimately produce: authentic period texture with provenance. Connecting takes no account or key, so an agent can search and build a timeline before anyone spends anything.

Field notes

Re-verified 21 Sep 2026 by initialising the endpoint and reading tools/list: serverInfo 1.1.0, nine tools, still no auth on connect. Checkout is the part that changed, and the old caveat here no longer holds — there is now a card path inside the MCP. quote_4k_license verifies an eligible unwatermarked master and returns price and terms, create_4k_checkout returns a Stripe hosted checkout URL plus a private order token, and get_4k_order releases the license, receipt and private download once purchase_completed is true; the site quotes $149 per clip for that direct 4K license. The $10 USDC x402 offer survives but the server is now explicit that it is 144p and instructs agents never to equate the two products. license_clip no longer transacts at all — it returns licensing options only, and neither charges nor issues a license. check_clip_rights screens catalogue rights and does not guarantee third-party clearance, and AI training is excluded from the standard license: that needs a separate written agreement. The 217,000+ clip figure the server advertised in August is gone from serverInfo and from every tool description; the site now says 162,000+ clips across 121 countries and 900+ cities, 1930s–1980s. Scope is narrow by design — amateur home movies only, no news, sport or studio material; for those see getty-images in this directory. The second hostname, https://mcp.stockfilm.com/mcp, still answers identically; the vendor's own docs point at api.stockfilm.com, used above.
