How it works
When an agent callssearch_videos, results include thumbnail_base64, a base64-encoded JPEG of the matched frame. A vision-capable model can use this image without fetching a separate URL:
- The agent searches for a video segment.
- Pureframe AI returns matching metadata and a frame image.
- The model uses the returned evidence to answer the request.
Two ways to connect
MCP: use an MCP-compatible client such as Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex, or OpenCode. See MCP overview and Connect an agent. Direct HTTP or function calling: fetch the OpenAI-compatible tool schema when you are building your own agent integration:schema to the tool configuration supported by your model provider.
Search and inspect a frame with Claude
SetANTHROPIC_MODEL to a vision-capable model available to your Anthropic account.
