Ollos MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• ollos_cancelwrite action

  Stop a queued or running ollos job by jobId — for example when the user changes their mind about a long transcription, or asked for the wrong file. The running stage is aborted (ffmpeg and model inference stop within a second) and the job is marked cancelled; partial artifacts already written stay on disk and are not reused. A job that already finished is reported with its final status and cancell

• ollos_diarize
• ollos_frames

  Return contact sheets or individual frames from a finished ollos_keyframes or ollos_read_screen job as images you can look at. Ask for sheets first (each shows 9 timestamped frames); ask for a single frame only when you need a close-up. Default 6 images per call (maxImages, up to 12) to protect the context window. Example: {"jobId":"j_…","sheets":[1,2]} or {"jobId":"j_…","frames":[14]}.

• ollos_job

  Get the state of a job started by ollos_transcribe, ollos_keyframes, ollos_read_screen, ollos_review or ollos_diarize: stage, percentage, and — once completed — the formatted result plus resource links, so no second call is needed. Poll every few seconds; the server keeps jobs on disk, so a jobId survives a restart (an interrupted job says so instead of hanging). Example: {"jobId":"j_a1b2c3d4e5f6"

• ollos_keyframes

  Pick the frames of a video that carry information and pack them into 3×3 contact sheets, so you can "watch" an hour of video in a handful of images. Frames are chosen by perceptual-hash change (works on screen recordings, where scene detection sees nothing), hard cuts (window switches, modals), optional anchors, and a floor of one frame every 20 s. Each tile shows its timestamp. Returns sheet reso

• ollos_probe

  Read what a file, URL or folder actually is, in under a second: kind (video/audio/image), duration, resolution, aspect ratio and which platforms it fits, codecs, fps, audio channels and track count. Use it first, before any other ollos tool, to decide what to run and to detect a Zoom recording folder with one audio track per participant. Never trusts the file extension; a .mp4 without video is rep

• ollos_read_screen

  OCR the text visible in a video or image and scan it for secrets: API keys, JWTs, bearer tokens, .env lines, private deployment URLs, local URLs, e-mails. Frames are selected as in ollos_keyframes, then read in upscaled tiles (small UI text is unreadable otherwise). Secret findings combine three signals — known patterns, high-entropy tokens, and nearby UI words like "API Key Created" — and are ALW

• ollos_review

  Check a video before it goes public and return a verdict (ok / warn / block) with findings: loudness vs the platform target (YouTube -14 LUFS) and true peak, silence gaps worth cutting, aspect ratio vs the platform (a 1890×1080 file gets black bars on YouTube), and secrets visible on screen. The secrets check reads frames with OCR and is the slow part; drop it from checks for an instant audio/aspe

• ollos_search

  Find moments across everything ollos has transcribed or read from screen: "what did we decide about the deadline", "when did the 401 error appear". Hybrid retrieval — BM25 for exact names, acronyms and numbers plus multilingual embeddings for meaning, fused by reciprocal rank — returning up to k passages with timestamp, speaker and source job, never whole transcripts. Scope "all" (default) searche
