How do I connect Screencastify to an AI assistant using the MCP Connector?

Overview

Screencastify's MCP Connector lets you connect your Screencastify account to AI assistants that support Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors.

Once connected, you can use your AI assistant to find and explore your Screencastify videos, review video performance, create playlists, and organize your video library directly from a chat.

1. Before you start
2. Connect Screencastify to an MCP-compatible AI assistant
3. Connect Screencastify to Claude
4. Enable Screencastify in a Claude conversation
5. Check your connection

• Disconnect Screencastify

Before you start

You'll need:

• A Screencastify account on any plan
• An AI assistant that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in
• The email address you use with your AI assistant should match the email address on your Screencastify account

If you're connecting through an MCP-compatible assistant other than Claude, you'll also need the Screencastify MCP server URL: https://api.screencastify.com/mcp/message

Using Claude? Screencastify is available directly from Claude's connector directory, so you don't need to manually enter the MCP server URL.
