    How to connect

    How to connect framefetch to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://framefetch.net/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.

    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    framefetch_extractExtract data from ONE public social-video URL (YouTube incl. Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Pinterest, Reddit): metadata/insights/transcript/frames/digest/comments/etc — see `fields`. When NOT to use: non-video pages, private/login-walled content, or bulk crawling (one URL per call). Returns one JSON object with only the requested fields + a `cost` block (micro-USD); shapes: https://framefetch.net/docs. Cost scales with what you request (frames/transcript cost more than metadata). No key? POST /v1/keys {email} -> instant key (~100 free calls); or x402 (USDC), no account. Example: {"url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...","fields":["metadata","transcript"]}.
    framefetch_platform_capabilitiesJSON matrix of data types (metadata, insights, transcript, frames, comments) per platform — YouTube (+Shorts), TikTok, Instagram Reels, Pinterest, Reddit. Call before framefetch_extract to confirm support. No input.
    framefetch_searchSearch YouTube by keyword (yt-dlp, no login). Returns up to `limit` hits: url/title/uploader/durationSec/uploadDate(often null)/thumbnail/views. YouTube only — use framefetch_extract on a hit's url for transcript/frames/etc. Billed ~$0.002/call (metadata-tier), regardless of `limit`.
    framefetch_accountCheck this account's credit balance/usage. Read-only — never charges; works at zero balance (unlike framefetch_extract). Purpose: check balance before expensive framefetch_extract calls — at session start, periodically, or after a 402. When NOT to use: before every single framefetch_extract call in a tight loop. Returns: balance_micros, spend_7d_micros, calls_7d — micro-USD (1,000,000 = $1). Low balance: top up via x402 (USDC) at POST /v1/topup, or card at POST /v1/checkout.
