Setting up the Vidmob MCP Connector

For admins and developers connecting Vidmob to an AI assistant or custom agent — including Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or your own MCP-compatible agent.

Written by Paulo Silva

The Vidmob MCP connector lets your team — or your own agents and applications — access Vidmob's creative data. Vidmob runs a standard remote MCP server, so it works with any MCP-compatible client: the major AI assistants and custom-built agents alike. In most cases all you need is our server URL.

This guide gives you the Vidmob-specific values and points you to each platform's own setup instructions, since those interfaces change frequently.


Before you start

  • You'll need admin permissions on your AI platform to add a custom connector / MCP server. (Most platforms don't let individual users add one themselves.)

  • After you set it up, each user signs in once the first time they use it — see the "After setup" section below.

What you'll need from Vidmob

Field

Value

MCP Server URL

Authentication method

OAuth

Header scheme (if asked)

Bearer

Client ID + Client Secret

Whether you need these depends on your agent — some require them (e.g., Gemini Enterprise), others don't. Request from Vidmob if your platform asks for them (see below).

Many platforms (such as Claude and ChatGPT) register automatically when you choose OAuth, so you won't need a Client ID or Secret. Others may ask for them — request those from Vidmob.

Already have an agent, or building your own? You can use OAuth as above, or authenticate with a Vidmob API key instead — often simpler for backend agents. See the "Custom or self-built agents" section below.


Setup by platform

The major hosted AI assistants are covered below as examples — the same approach works with any MCP-compatible client. Follow your platform's own documentation for the exact, current screens. Already have an agent, or building your own? See the "Custom or self-built agents" section below.


Claude (claude.ai / Claude Desktop)

  1. Go to your connector/MCP settings and choose to add a custom connector.

  2. Enter the Server URL: https://mcp.vidmob.com/mcp

  3. Choose OAuth for authentication.

  4. Save.


ChatGPT

  1. Create a new App / custom MCP connector.

  2. Connection: choose Server URL and enter https://mcp.vidmob.com/mcp

  3. Authentication: select OAuth (not "Access token / API key").

  4. Header scheme: Bearer.

  5. Create.


Gemini Enterprise

Gemini is set up differently from Claude and ChatGPT — a Google Cloud admin configures the connector as a custom data store, and it does require credentials from Vidmob.

  1. Request your credentials from Vidmob (see below) — you'll receive a Client ID, Client Secret, Authorization URL, and Token URL.

  2. In the Google Cloud console, add the Vidmob MCP server as a custom connector / data store using the base URL https://mcp.vidmob.com/mcp plus the four values above.

  3. Complete any organization-level permission or policy steps your Google Cloud environment requires to allow a custom connector.

To request Gemini credentials: email support@vidmob.com and let us know you're setting up the Vidmob connector for Gemini Enterprise.


Custom or self-built agents

Because Vidmob runs a standard remote MCP server, it works with any MCP-compatible agent — including ones your team builds on frameworks like LangChain or Amazon Bedrock, or with your own code. Point your agent at the same server URL (https://mcp.vidmob.com/mcp) and choose whichever authentication fits your setup:


After setup

Once the connector is added, each user connects it to their own account the first time they use it:

  1. The user enables/connects the Vidmob connector in their AI assistant.

  2. They're taken to the Vidmob login to sign in.

  3. If they belong to more than one organization, they choose which one to use.

  4. They approve access, and the Vidmob tools become available.

This is a one-time sign-in per user — they'll stay connected afterward.
