StarZero

StarZero in Claude.
And in your scripts.

The StarZero plugin lets Claude upload media, search what was said and shown, cut podcast clips and brief the StarZero agent. It tells you the cost and asks before anything spends credits. Run the same jobs from your own scripts with the StarZero CLI. The REST API is available on request.

Build discovery

Find visual content and dialogue at moment, shot, scene, or media boundaries.

Build understanding

Use transcripts, summaries, speakers, narrative threads, scenes, and shot data.

Build production

Connect reframing, rendering, agent chats, and workflow orchestration to your product.

What each plan includes.

Claude plugin, CLI and MCP
Every plan includes them. Sign in with your StarZero account, and billed jobs draw on your plan’s credits. Install the plugin from Claude’s plugin directory.

Workflows By approval
Approved team by team. Talk to us and we set them up with you. From MCP you can start a workflow if you know its ID. You can’t create a workflow from MCP.

The video layer in your product.

Start with one capability. Connect understanding and production wherever they belong in your application.

Make the first call. Then build around it.

Install the Claude plugin, script the same jobs with the CLI, or add the MCP server to another assistant. All three sign in with your StarZero account.

Install it in Claude Code.

Add the StarZero marketplace and install the plugin, then run /starzero:setup in a session. Setup installs the CLI and signs you in through your browser, so nothing is pasted into the chat.

In the Claude app, install StarZero from the plugin directory, under Customize › Plugins. On claude.ai chat, the plugin works through the StarZero connector.

Ask for the job.

Skills start on their own from what you say, or run one directly with /starzero:<skill>. Where there is a shell, they drive the StarZero CLI.

“Cut this episode into five vertical clips with captions, then give me a link to each one.”

Nothing bills without a question.

Before an upload, a run or an agent turn, Claude tells you what it costs and your balance, and asks. Listing and inspecting what you already have needs no credits.

The plugin is open source under the MIT license. Read the README on GitHub, or see what each skill does.

The REST API

Building StarZero into your own product? API access is on request. Tell us what you are building, the operations you need and your expected volume, and we will set it up with you.

Talk to us about the API

MCP works in both directions.

The StarZero MCP server exposes media and production tools to compatible clients. Separately, you can connect external MCP plugins inside StarZero so its agents can work with other services alongside the built-in video tools.

For recurring jobs, Workflows add templates, variables, task budgets, and result callbacks. They are approved team by team, after a talk with us. Scope an integration around the actual processing lifecycle and the systems receiving the output.

Before production traffic.

Do I need API access for the plugin or the CLI?

No. Both sign in with your StarZero account on every plan, and billed jobs draw on its credits. API access is for building StarZero into your own product, and it is on request.

Is the plugin open source?

Yes, under the MIT license at ijw-fyi/claude-starzero-plugin. Issues and feature requests go there too.

Can processing take longer than a normal API call?

Yes. Rendering, reframing, and generation can be long-running work. Plan for progress tracking, suitable timeouts, and result handling. Workflow callbacks can connect job completion to your systems.

How should we plan usage and limits?

Discuss expected media volume, concurrency, operations, and delivery requirements with the team. Account access, credits, and endpoint limits apply; confirm the commercial arrangement before sizing a production integration.

Can we start with just search or summaries?

Yes. You can use the media understanding and search surfaces without building a full editor. Add reframing, rendering, or agent production where your product needs them.

Install the plugin. Then ask for the cut.
