Catenoid Launches Kollus MCP for Claude and ChatGPT

Simpler setup, more uses

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI models use data and functions from external services. Anthropic released it in November 2024, and OpenAI and other major AI companies and developer tools now support it.

The beta required users to enter a server address and a security key by hand. In the full release, users search for "Kollus" in the Claude or ChatGPT directory and sign in with their Kollus account. Once connected, they can ask about upload lists, view rankings and daily traffic. Developers can request code to embed the player on a website or ask what causes a given error code, with the AI drawing on Kollus integration guides, sample code and an error-code dictionary. The connector also works in Claude Code and Cursor.

Catenoid also changed how the AI looks up integration documents. In the company's own tests, token usage for the same integration task fell by about 53%, and tool calls dropped from 11 to 5, which can lower costs under usage-based AI pricing.

Security

The connector uses the OAuth 2.1 standard, so users log in rather than pasting an API key into the AI. Credentials are stored encrypted on the server, and connections unused for a week are disconnected automatically. Kollus MCP only reads video lists and statistics; it has no functions for deleting videos or changing settings, so the AI cannot alter customer data.

Catenoid plans to register Kollus MCP in the official MCP registry so more AI tools can find it. CEO Kim Hyung-seok said the aim is to lower technical barriers in running and developing video services, and to expand AI-based services for enterprise customers.
