Nobody here has read this server's code, because it publishes none. The description above is the maker's own, from the registry. A connection test shows whether it answers and what tools it says it has; it never calls a tool, so it cannot show what one does with your data.
Where it sits in the directory's order
What can be seen from outside, weighed as the directory publishes.
Observable signals: 45 of 100 points (at most 60 here)
| Input | Points | What was seen |
|---|---|---|
| Source published | held at 0 | No entry here publishes source: that is what puts it in this directory. |
| Licence stated | held at 0 | With no files, there is nothing for a licence to be stated in or held against. |
| Advisory state | held at 0 | Advisory databases index packages, and these entries publish none, so there is nothing to look up. |
| Auth declared | 0 of 15 | The registry entry declares no key. That is what it declares, not a finding that it has no protection. |

The tools it lists (10, as of 9 hours ago)
The tool-description rules found nothing in these descriptions. They look for instructions aimed at a model and for hidden characters; they cannot see what a tool does when it runs.
search_footageSearch footage.cool's library of 54,000+ drone, aerial, ocean, underwater, wildlife, and travel clips (4K UHD masters on nearly all), filmed by Phil Maher mostly in Baja California Sur (Los Cabos, Cabo Pulmo, East Cape, La Paz, Todos Santos), plus the Colorado Rockies and the California coast, 2014 to 2024. Understands place names, years, synonyms (drone = aerial), and typos. Returns clips with metadata, verified master resolution when known, thumbnail and watermarked preview URLs, clip page links, and prices. Real camera and drone footage, not AI-generated.
get_clip_detailsGet full details for one footage.cool clip: description, tags, location, shot year, duration, people and release notice, collection, thumbnail, watermarked preview, clip page, the master's verified resolution and codec when known, and licensing options with prices.
find_similar_footageFind clips similar to a given clip: shared subjects, scene, location, and shot year, spread across different shoots so the results are not near-duplicates. Use it to offer alternatives or to keep a sequence consistent.
build_rough_cutPlan a timed edit from a description: picks and orders clips across different shoots and locations, sets a cut length for each at the chosen pace, and totals the license cost. Returns an edit decision list with preview URLs for a storyboard or rough cut. It does not render video or license anything.
check_clip_rightsScreen whether a license covers an intended use for a clip and which tier fits: commercial, editorial, documentary, internal_corporate, digital (web and social), broadcast, theatrical, or ai_training. Reports chain of title, people and property flags, and the release policy. Catalog screening, not legal advice.
How this entry becomes a listing
For the maker. The catalogue lists what it can read, and this server publishes nothing to read yet. There are two routes, and only the first is open today.
Publish the source Open today
- Put the server's source in a public repository on github.com, with a licence.
- Keep a server.json in that repository naming this server,
cool.footage/mcp-server, and declare the repository in it:"repository": { "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo", "source": "github" }, adding"subfolder"when the server lives in a folder. - Publish that version to the official MCP registry.
- The nightly registry sweep records the declaration. This page stays, dated, and says the source is declared but not yet read.
- The catalogue reads declared repositories at a pinned commit, in batches run by hand, and lists the servers that meet the batch's rules (among them a server.json at that commit naming the server, an https endpoint and a licence). When it lists this server, this page links to the listing. There is no schedule, so no date can be promised.
