Catenoid launches Kollus MCP, reducing AI token usage by 53% for video management

Catenoid (CEO Kim Hyeong-seok), the largest Video Technology as a Service (VTaaS) company in South Korea, has officially launched ‘Kollus MCP’, an AI-integrated service that enables the management and development of video services through natural language conversations with AI. Along with this launch, Catenoid has become the only video platform in Northeast Asia to be listed in the official directories of both Claude and ChatGPT.

Kollus MCP is an AI-integrated service that connects to AI services such as Claude and ChatGPT, allowing users to handle video-related tasks—including video service integration and viewing statistics—using only natural language. The service has improved usability compared to the beta version released this past June. Instead of manually entering complex server addresses or security keys, users can simply search for ‘Kollus’ in the official directories of Claude and ChatGPT and log in with their Kollus account to establish a connection.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard protocol that allows AI models to safely access the data and functions of external services. Since its release by Anthropic in November 2024, it has gained attention as an industry standard, with major AI companies including OpenAI and various development tools providing support.

With this official launch, Kollus MCP has passed quality and security audits from both Anthropic and OpenAI. According to Catenoid's own investigation, as of November 5, Catenoid is the only company among major video platforms in Northeast Asia—including South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong—to be listed in the official directories of both Claude and ChatGPT. This listing expands Catenoid's presence in the global AI ecosystem.

The scope of Kollus MCP usage is broad, ranging from video service operators to developers. By asking questions in an AI chat window, such as “Show me the list of videos uploaded yesterday,” “Tell me the top 10 most viewed videos from last week,” or “Summarize the daily transmission volume for this month,” the AI retrieves actual data accumulated in the Kollus account and organizes the necessary information clearly.

The service can also be utilized for development work. If a user requests, “Create code to insert a player into a website” or “Tell me the cause and solution for this error code,” the AI provides integration methods and code by referencing the Kollus integration guide, sample code, and error code dictionary. For issues difficult to resolve through documentation alone, the service also supports submitting technical support inquiries. In addition to Claude and ChatGPT, the service can be connected to AI development tools such as Claude Code and Cursor.

The method by which the AI searches and references integration documentation has also been improved. According to internal testing, compared to the previous method, AI token usage for the same integration task was reduced by approximately 53%, and the number of tool calls decreased by more than half, from 11 to 5. This reduces the cost burden of using AI and increases response efficiency.

Regarding security, the service applies OAuth 2.1, the standard authentication specification for MCP. Users can securely integrate services by logging in with a Kollus account rather than directly entering API keys into the AI, and authentication information is stored in an encrypted format on the server. Connections that have not been used for one week are automatically disconnected. Furthermore, the service only provides data inquiry functions, such as video lists and statistics, and does not include functions for deleting videos or changing settings, preventing the AI from arbitrarily altering customer data.

Catenoid plans to register the service in the official MCP registry in the future so that Kollus MCP can be easily found and connected by more AI tools.

“Kollus MCP is a service that lowers the technical barriers occurring in the video service operation and development processes through AI, helping everyone from practitioners to developers process necessary tasks easily and quickly,” said Catenoid CEO Kim Hyeong-seok. “Based on the achievement of being the only video platform in Northeast Asia listed in the official directories of the leading global AI services, Claude and ChatGPT, we will continue to expand our AI-based services so that enterprise customers can utilize video infrastructure more efficiently and focus on their business.”
