Let Claude Desktop and Cursor actually watch videos (MCP, fully local)

The MIT-licensed local video project claude-real-video has been released.

It extracts scene-aware keyframes from video files or URLs and transcribes audio with Whisper.

Version 0.8.0 adds MCP server support, letting Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor request video analysis over stdio.

Results are cached locally and exposed through two functions: initial analysis and paging for more frames.

It enables video reasoning without cloud processing, improving privacy and reducing token use.
