Claude Desktop reaches remote servers through mcp-remote, which needs Node.js. Restart the app after editing.

Quick test with curl

Terminal

curl -s -X POST https://video-mcp.marsaplatform.com/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"test","version":"1"}}}'

With a valid key you get the initialize result. Without a key you get 401.

Tools

The original page states: “16 MCP tools”. The full list is generated from tools/list once a read key is configured for this site; until then any MCP client shows it after you connect.

FAQ

What is the difference between a read and an admin key?

Read is for status and logs; admin adds the allowed commands and restarts.

Why the caution?

The server runs with broad permissions; the tools limit operations to a fixed list.

How do I get a key?

Request an access key from the key request page (Arabic form).

401 Unauthorized

The real response for a request without a key:

HTTP/2 401 · application/json

WWW-Authenticate: Bearer realm="video-server"

{"error": "unauthorized"}

Send the header exactly as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY.
