No usage claims. Nobody has run this tool. The other tier is BENCH-TESTED, which means Andrew personally ran the tool on a stated date and cannot be bought at any price. Across the whole directory that count is 0. Vendor: [covideo.com](https://covideo.com) · entry id 08-covideo · source 08-video-prospecting.md line 185 **What it does** Records/sends/tracks personalized video messages via email, SMS, and social with Outlook/Gmail add-ins and CRM integrations; heavily used in automotive-dealership sales but marketed broadly for sales enablement. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** Vendor markets an "AI Suite": "Create" (AI-generated personalized videos/inventory showcases at scale), "Accelerate" (automated follow-up), "Enhance" (audio/video polish). Confirmation limited to the vendor's own site - no independent third-party technical review found. **RevOps role** Sales-enablement/dealer video messaging with tracking analytics (opens, watch %, viewer identity). **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: MCP unknown - **Auth**: unknown. Covideo's developer portal (developer.covideo.com) returned HTTP 401 during this research (requires an authenticated account to view), so API/MCP auth details could not be independently confirmed. Support docs describe bearer-token REST auth generally, but no MCP-specific reference was found. - **Parsed URLs**: 0 found in the mcp_url field The check could not settle it either way. Unknown is a legal answer and it is published rather than guessed. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: unknown mcp_url, verbatim from the file: n/a **Access gate** - **Gate bucket**: Gate unknown - **Can a solo operator reach it**: Not established api_gate, verbatim from the file: unknown - the developer portal is login-gated and no public pricing/access tier for API use was found. 83 of 293 entries carry an unknown gate. Unknown is a legal answer and it ships as unknown rather than as a guess. **API documentation** No documentation URL recorded. 263 of 293 entries are in the same position. Blank is legal and it is published as blank. **GitHub health** Not measured. github_url, github_stars, github_last_commit and github_archived are null on every entry in this build. The refresh rail specced in SPEC section 7.2 has not been run. An unstamped star count is a lie, so nothing is shown rather than something stale. **Jobs it can do** - [Create and send a prospecting video](../jobs/create-and-send-prospecting-video.md) - [Read outreach performance](../jobs/read-outreach-performance.md) A job tag means the vendor says the tool does this. It is not a test result, not proof the capability is reachable through the tool's MCP server, and not proof it is available on the gate this entry records. Tagged by machine-pass on 2026-08-25 against the closed 55 job vocabulary. 271 of 293 entries carry at least one tag; 827 tags are assigned in total. **Sources** - [https://www.covideo.com/](https://www.covideo.com/) - [https://www.covideo.com/sales-enablement-tools/](https://www.covideo.com/sales-enablement-tools/) - [https://developer.covideo.com/](https://developer.covideo.com/) - [https://support.covideo.com/en/collections/2472505-integrations](https://support.covideo.com/en/collections/2472505-integrations) - 401 on fetch - portal exists but gated 4 source URLs.
