The official Model Context Protocol endpoint for
Dadan. It connects your workspace — recordings, transcripts,
summaries, engagement analytics, and captured leads — to any MCP-compatible assistant or agent.
Each user signs in with their own Dadan account and gets exactly their own access.
In short: The Dadan MCP server connects your Dadan video library to Claude,
ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP client. Add one endpoint —
https://mcp.dadan.io/mcp — sign in with your Dadan account, and run 70 video
tools across 13 areas by plain-language request. It's free to connect, uses OAuth 2.1, and needs no API key.

How do I connect Dadan to my AI assistant?
Add the MCP endpoint below in your AI client's connector settings, then sign in with your Dadan account — no API key, no client secret.

Requires a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise). On Team/Enterprise, admins can also enable the connector organization-wide from admin settings.
Open Settings → Connectors (claude.ai or the desktop app) and select Add custom connector.
Name it Dadan, paste the endpoint URL above, and select Add. No client ID or secret is needed — the connector self-registers.
Select Connect. Your browser opens the Dadan sign-in page — authenticate with Google, Microsoft, or your email and password.
In a conversation, open the search & tools menu and make sure Dadan is enabled.
Verify: ask “Ping my Dadan server.” A pong reply confirms the full round trip.
From Claude Code (terminal) — adds it for the current project; append --scope user to make it available everywhere:
Check status or re-authenticate anytime with claude mcp list or the /mcp command inside a session. To revoke access, remove the connector in Settings → Connectors.
Paid ChatGPT plan, on chatgpt.com (web only — not the desktop or mobile apps). On Business/Team/Enterprise, a workspace admin must turn on Developer mode first, or it won't appear in Settings.
Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode.
Settings → Plugins (or open chatgpt.com/plugins) → click + → paste the endpoint URL above → set Authentication: OAuth → Create.
Complete the Dadan sign-in in the browser window that opens.
New chat → + menu → Developer mode → Dadan, then ask “What's my Dadan plan?”
No Developer mode under Security and login? Your plan or workspace admin hasn't enabled it (or you're not in the rollout yet) — it's web-only and gated by OpenAI.
Works in Agent mode. Available on all Cursor plans that include MCP.
Use the one-click install: Add to Cursor — or open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server.
For manual/team setup, commit this to .cursor/mcp.json in your repo (project-wide) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (personal, all projects):
Cursor detects the OAuth requirement and shows a sign-in prompt next to the server — complete the Dadan login in your browser.
Verify: the server shows a green status in MCP settings with the Dadan tools listed; in Agent mode, ask it to search your Dadan library.
Requires VS Code 1.102 or later with GitHub Copilot; MCP tools run in Copilot's agent mode.
Command Palette → MCP: Add Server → HTTP, paste the endpoint URL, and choose where to save it (workspace or user profile) — or create .vscode/mcp.json yourself:
Start the server from the editor prompt and approve the trust dialog; VS Code opens the Dadan sign-in on first connection.
Verify: run MCP: List Servers — Dadan should show as running. Its tools appear in Copilot Chat's agent-mode tool picker.
To re-authenticate later, select the server in MCP: List Servers and choose the account/auth action.
Any MCP-compatible client or agent framework works — Windsurf, Gemini CLI, the official MCP SDKs (TypeScript, Python, C#, Java), or your own stack.
Configure a remote server with streamable HTTP transport. Most clients accept this shape:
Authorization is standard OAuth 2.1 with PKCE: metadata at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource, dynamic client registration at /oauth/register. Spec-compliant clients need no manual auth configuration.
Verify from the command line: an unauthenticated request must return 401 with a WWW-Authenticate challenge:
Interactive testing:npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, then connect to the endpoint URL — the Inspector walks the OAuth flow and lets you call every tool by hand.
If the connection fails: the most common cause is a URL without the /mcp path — the bare domain serves this page, not the protocol. If sign-in previously worked and tools suddenly report an authorization error, disconnect and reconnect the connector; sessions are periodically reset.
Sign-in supports Google, Microsoft, and email — the same login as the Dadan apps. No API keys are issued or managed by you.
Reads and writes are annotated, paginated, and scoped to the signed-in user — and you never
need to know internal ids: refer to things by name or paste a Dadan link.

Is my Dadan data safe?
Yes — every call runs as the signed-in user against Dadan's own permissions; your videos, transcripts, and leads stay on the Dadan platform, and access is revocable anytime.
Your content stays in Dadan. Your videos, transcripts, and leads never touch this gateway — they stay in the Dadan platform and are relayed per request. Sign-in tokens are encrypted at rest and scoped to your account; a minimal tool-call audit log is kept for security.
Credentials stay with the provider. Google and Microsoft sign-in happens on their pages; email passwords go directly to Dadan's authentication API over TLS and are never retained.
Per-user access only. Every call executes as the signed-in user against Dadan's own permission checks — there is no master credential.
Revoke anytime. Disconnect in your AI client or revoke the authorization in Dadan; gateway tokens expire within an hour regardless.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Dadan MCP server?
The Dadan MCP server is the official Model Context Protocol endpoint for Dadan, an AI video platform. It connects your Dadan workspace — recordings, transcripts, summaries, analytics, and captured leads — to any MCP-compatible AI assistant, so you run your video library by plain-language request.
How do I connect Dadan to Claude?
On a paid Claude plan, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector. Name it Dadan, paste https://mcp.dadan.io/mcp, and click Add. Click Connect and sign in with your Dadan account. No client ID or secret is needed — the connector self-registers.
How do I connect Dadan to ChatGPT?
On a paid ChatGPT plan, on chatgpt.com (web only — not the desktop or mobile apps). 1) Settings → Security and login → turn on Developer mode. 2) Settings → Plugins (or chatgpt.com/plugins) → + → paste https://mcp.dadan.io/mcp → Authentication: OAuth → Create. 3) Sign in to Dadan when the browser opens. 4) In a chat, open the + menu → Developer mode → Dadan. If Developer mode isn't under Security and login, your plan or workspace admin hasn't enabled it — on Business/Team an admin must turn it on first.
Is the Dadan MCP server free?
Yes. Connecting is free and requires no separate purchase. You sign in with your own Dadan account and it uses your existing Dadan plan — including the free tier. Reads (search, play, transcripts, analytics) are always free; editing and AI actions follow your plan's allowances, such as storage, meeting minutes, AI credits, and a monthly allowance of AI/editing actions on the free tier. Details are on the Dadan pricing page.
Do I need an API key?
No. The server uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, so there are no API keys or client secrets to create, paste, or rotate. You simply sign in with your Dadan account — via Google, Microsoft, or email — and access runs as you.
Which AI assistants are supported?
Any MCP-compatible client works, including Claude (web, desktop, and Claude Code), ChatGPT on the web in Developer mode, Cursor, and VS Code with GitHub Copilot. Other agent frameworks — Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and the official MCP SDKs — connect too, using streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1.
What can the Dadan MCP server do?
It exposes 70 tools across 13 areas. You can search videos and transcripts, record meetings with a live bot and then transcribe and summarize them, translate captions, edit videos (trim, reframe to vertical, blur, zoom, music), add polls and lead forms, read analytics, and manage folders, playlists, and teams — all in plain language.
Is my Dadan data safe?
Yes. Every tool call runs as the signed-in user against Dadan's own permission checks — there is no master credential. Your videos, transcripts, and leads stay on the Dadan platform, not the gateway. Sign-in tokens are encrypted at rest and scoped to your account, and you can revoke access anytime.
