Title: [Show HN] ClipSense - AI video analysis for mobile debugging via MCP
I built ClipSense to solve my biggest pain point debugging React Native apps:
watching crash videos from QA and trying to figure out WTF happened.
Now I just drop the video into Claude Code and get instant analysis:
- What's happening in the video
- Root cause of the bug
- Suggested fixes with code
It's an MCP server, so works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.
Demo: [link to demo video]
GitHub: [link]
npm: @gburanda/clipsense-mcp-server
Would love feedback!

```
1/ Spent 3 months building ClipSense - an AI-powered mobile debugger that analyzes screen recordings of bugs and tells you exactly what's wrong.
Works directly in Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI IDEs. Here's how it works 🧵
2/ [Demo video GIF]
Record a bug → Drop video in Claude Code → Get instant analysis with:
• Step-by-step breakdown
• Root cause identification
• Code fix suggestions
No more watching 5-minute crash videos on repeat.
3/ Built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so it integrates with any AI coding assistant.
Currently supports:
✅ Claude Code
✅ Cursor
✅ Windsurf
✅ Cline
✅ Continue.dev
4/ Uses Claude Sonnet 4.5 for analysis - it's scary good at understanding mobile UIs and state flow.
Works with React Native, iOS (Swift), and Android (Kotlin/Java).
5/ Free tier: 3 analyses/month
Pro: $29/mo for 100 analyses
Try it:
📦 npm i -g @gburanda/clipsense-mcp-server
⭐ GitHub: [link]
📖 Docs: https://clipsense.app
Would love your feedback!
