Questions
What does lookCloser do?
Cut additional exact frames from a private video watch artifact already fetched into The Cloud, then append those timestamped frame URLs to that same artifact. It is one of the tools The Cloud MCP server gives every connected AI.
How do I use lookCloser from Claude or ChatGPT?
Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "watch this video", and it calls lookCloser.
Is lookCloser safe to let an AI call?
lookCloser widens who can see or receive something, so the owner approves every call explicitly. An AI cannot approve it for itself. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
