No MCP found, Gate unknown. Checked 2026-08-24. *Markdown twin of the HTML page at the same path. Same content, no navigation, no styling, no scripts. Links below point at other twins.

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: [hippovideo.io](https://hippovideo.io) · entry id 08-hippo-video · source 08-video-prospecting.md line 90 **What it does** Video engagement platform for sales teams to record, automate, and personalize video outreach at scale, merging prospect variables into template videos and chaining them into "Video Flows" inside sequences. **AI features, separated from automation with an AI label on it** Vendor states an AI Script Generator, an AI Avatar Video Generator, an AI Editor that assembles finished video from a script, a "Humanize AI" layer, and automated name/image/company personalization. None independently verified beyond vendor pricing/product pages. **RevOps role** Video-messaging layer plugged into CRM/sequence tools (Outreach, Salesloft, HubSpot, Salesforce); also spans customer-support/CX video beyond pure prospecting. **MCP server** - **Status bucket**: No MCP found - **Auth**: n/a - **Parsed URLs**: 0 found in the mcp_url field No server was found at the time of the check. That is a statement about the search, not a promise that none exists. The status was established on 2026-08-24 and has not been re-fetched since. mcp_status, verbatim from the file: none-found 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. Hippo Video has a public developer API/SDK (Record, Video Library, Video Details, Import, Sign-up, Categories APIs, webhooks) requiring an API key, documented via help docs and a public Postman collection, but no source states which paid tier (if any) is required to use it. 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) 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.hippovideo.io/pricing.html](https://www.hippovideo.io/pricing.html) - [https://www.hippovideo.io/boost-sales-engagement.html](https://www.hippovideo.io/boost-sales-engagement.html) - [https://help.hippovideo.io/support/solutions/19000104654](https://help.hippovideo.io/support/solutions/19000104654) - [https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/5278433/Tz5naxpW](https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/5278433/Tz5naxpW) - [https://www.hippovideo.io/products/video-sdk/how-video-api-works.html](https://www.hippovideo.io/products/video-sdk/how-video-api-works.html) 5 source URLs.

Pricing sources disagree on exact figures (Pro ~$20-30/user/mo, Enterprise ~$80/user/mo, 10-seat minimum); treat as approximate. **Provenance** - **Entry id**: 08-hippo-video - **Source file**: 08-video-prospecting.md - **Source line**: 90 - **Tier**: RESEARCHED - **last_checked**: 2026-08-24 - **Data baked**: 2026-08-25 Every field above is rendered from directory.json exactly as the build produced it.
