Overview

AI-generated overview

Stockfilm lets an assistant search a vintage 8mm/Super 8 footage archive, quote and license clips, and order AI-training datasets.

What you can do
Search the archive of 1930s–1980s vintage home movie clips and find visually similar footage by clip ID, with metadata, pricing and thumbnails; get full clip details and check rights for a given use; build a timed rough cut or storyboard from a description; quote 4K licenses and dataset subsets, scope dataset filters by clip count and hours, and read the dataset license agreement; create Stripe checkouts or bank-wire invoices and check order, payment and delivery status.
When to use it
Useful when a project needs authentic vintage footage for film, video or editorial work, or when an institution wants to scope and purchase a fixed-price training dataset from the archive. It is not for modern or AI-generated stock footage.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; no package, environment variables or headers are declared. Purchases involve a buyer email and, for datasets, organization and intended use; payment happens in Stripe or by bank wire outside the chat.
Before you install
Ordering spends real money: dataset tiers run from a free evaluation sample to $25,000 research and commercial pricing with a $10,000 minimum, and 4K licenses are paid. Accepting the dataset agreement and creating checkouts are binding actions that should only follow explicit buyer approval of price, scope and terms. Order tokens are private, and card details must never be entered in chat.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Stockfilm — Authentic Vintage Footage in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.stockfilm%2Fmcp-server/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Tools

accept_dataset_agreement

Accept Dataset Agreement

Accept the Dataset License Agreement for a quoted order on the buyer's behalf. Call ONLY after the buyer explicitly approves the tier, clip count, price, and the full agreement text. Paid tiers move to awaiting_payment; the free evaluation sample goes straight to Stockfilm's manual review.

Parametersconfirmedrequiredlegal_namerequiredorder_tokenrequiredsigner_namerequiredagreement_sha256required

build_rough_cut

Build Rough Cut Timeline

Auto-assemble a timed sequence of vintage clips into a video timeline based on a description. Returns an ordered list of clips with durations. Great for creating edit lists or storyboards.

Parameterspacequeryrequiredyear_toyear_fromtarget_seconds

check_clip_rights

Check Clip Rights

Verify a clip is eligible for a given intended use (commercial, editorial, broadcast, etc.) before licensing.

Parametersclip_idrequiredintended_use

create_4k_checkout

Create 4K License Checkout

Create or resume Stripe hosted checkout for a quoted 4K license. Call ONLY after the user explicitly approves the quoted clip, total price, resolution, license scope, territory, term, and terms. Returns a checkout URL and private order token. The user pays securely in Stripe; never collect card details in chat. Repeating the same quote reuses its order. Creating checkout is not proof of purchase.

Parametersconfirmedrequiredquote_tokenrequired

create_dataset_checkout

Create Dataset Checkout

Start payment for an accepted dataset order. Card orders (proxy media, up to $10,000) return a Stripe checkout_url the buyer pays in a browser; never collect card details in chat. 4K, research, and larger orders return a bank-wire invoice (number, amount, due date, reference) that is also emailed to the buyer; the buyer's finance team pays it. Repeating the call reuses the open checkout or invoice. Payment is not delivery: every order is reviewed by a person at Stockfilm after the funds clear.

Parametersorder_tokenrequired

describe_training_dataset

Describe Training Dataset

Describe Stockfilm's AI-training dataset product: eligible catalog counts, the three fixed-price tiers (free evaluation sample; $25,000 research for academic institutions; commercial at $3.00/clip proxies or $10.00/clip 4K masters, $10,000 minimum), payment rails (card for small proxy orders, bank wire for 4K and larger orders), available filters, the agreement version and sha256, and the purchase workflow. AI-training rights are sold only this way, never per clip and never exclusively.
