Vivu makes uploaded video libraries searchable by meaning and returns candidate moments as time ranges. It indexes each video once in the cloud across speech, on-screen visuals and text, speakers, and timing. Fast search uses one credit; Precise search adds a refinement pass and uses five credits total. Searches run within a single project, so Vivu cannot search across projects. It finds moments in existing footage rather than editing or generating video. The web app and remote MCP connector work with Claude and other MCP clients, including ChatGPT, through Streamable HTTP with OAuth. The maker says browser uploads accept common video formats. Footage stays private to the customer’s workspace, and projects and searches require a signed-in account. Uploaded videos and derived data remain until the video or project is deleted, and deletion is permanent. Vivu says service data travels over HTTPS and sign-in uses Google Firebase Authentication; its backend runs in Google Cloud’s us-central1 region in the United States. The free plan includes 20 indexing minutes and 50 search credits per month. Premium costs $30 USD per month and includes 180 indexing minutes and 500 search credits per month.
