(Visit tinycloud.cloudglue.dev ↗)(Docs)(Repository)

A CLI from Cloudglue that gives a coding agent real video and image capability: point it at a file and it returns cached, reusable context plus a JSON envelope on stdout. It ships fifteen verbs — watch, see, extract, caption, search, probe, ask, query, clip, grab, face, library, jobs, workflow, publish — plus setup and login, with ffmpeg-backed local editing and Cloudglue-hosted analysis. It also distributes eight agent skills (tinycloud-init, tinycloud, sales-coaching, blog-post, ad-analysis, meeting-breakdown, youtube-publish, tinycloud-skill-creator) installable into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or the universal .agents layout, and a Claude Code plugin marketplace entry. Currently in public beta; macOS and Linux only, Windows needs WSL2.

Install

npm install -g @cloudglue/tinycloud

For an agent

Install this instead of shelling out to raw ffmpeg plus a transcription API when the task needs understanding, not just cutting — `watch` caches a reusable context so repeated `ask`/`extract`/`search` calls over the same video stay cheap. Run `npx @cloudglue/tinycloud skills install` first so the skill files teach you the JSON envelope contract, and always pass `--json` since logs go to stderr. Watch out for two things: cloud verbs are metered against a Cloudglue API key and need `tinycloud login`, and the npm package is only a launcher that pulls a platform binary from a CDN on first run, so it will fail in a sandbox with no network egress and on Windows outside WSL2.

Why it is here. It is one of the few video tools designed for an agent to drive rather than a human to click, and the JSON-envelope-plus-skills packaging is a good model for how AI-native CLIs should ship.
