# Echosaw

> Media intelligence platform. Echosaw uses multimodal AI to analyze video, audio, images, and documents (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, PPTX),
> producing searchable transcripts, timeline-aligned insights, and Echosaw Academics study material derived from
> the analyzed media.

Analysis is asynchronous: media is submitted by upload or public URL, processed through a
pipeline (transcription, OCR, object recognition, semantic indexing), and the
results are retrieved by media ID. Educational features build on that output — study packets,
spaced-repetition scheduling (FSRS), and mastery tracking. Emma is the conversational assistant
that answers questions about analyzed media.

- [Moderation](https://echosaw.com/moderation/): AI video moderation across video frames, audio transcript, images, and documents against a fixed harm policy (nudity, sexual content, violence, hate speech, profanity).
  Returns a visual sensitivity rating, an allow or review action, and timestamped evidence; flagged media cannot be made public.
- [Content moderation tools](https://echosaw.com/moderation/content-moderation-tools/): what content moderation software should do, and how Echosaw does it in the web app, REST API, and MCP server.
  Flags content, attaches timestamped evidence, and gates publishing; your team decides. Results in the web app, REST API, and MCP server.
- [Image moderation](https://echosaw.com/moderation/image-moderation/): AI image moderation for PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF, and HEIC up to 5 GB, with moderation labels and confidence scores.
  Available through the image moderation API (`POST /v1/analyze` with `mediaType` `image`).
- [Surveillance](https://echosaw.com/surveillance/): AI video analytics for recorded CCTV and security camera footage; define the events to watch for and each finding is raised at its timestamp.
  Footage arrives by device or browser recording, upload, or API (up to 5 GB per file); findings in minutes, each at its timestamp. Echosaw can deliver findings into your CRM, ticketing, or VMS.
- [Intelligent video analytics](https://echosaw.com/surveillance/intelligent-video-analytics/): how scene detection, object and scene labels, transcript, on-screen text, and rubric scoring combine into timestamped findings.
  Findings are marked Criterion Met, Criterion Unmet, or Flagged for Review.
- [Real-time video analytics](https://echosaw.com/surveillance/real-time/): record on a device or in the browser, upload, or use the API, and get timestamped findings in minutes, with evidence for every finding.
- [Best video analytics software](https://echosaw.com/surveillance/best-video-analytics-software/): a checklist for comparing video analytics companies and providers, with Echosaw as the worked example.
  Not a ranking of named vendors.

## Model Context Protocol

Echosaw is usable directly by AI agents over MCP.

- Remote server: `https://mcp.echosaw.com` — OAuth 2.0, exposes tools for submitting media URLs,
  polling job status, retrieving analysis results, searching and listing media, generating
  download links, and managing folders.
- Local server: `@echosaw/mcp-server` on npm — stdio transport, authenticated with `ECHOSAW_API_KEY`,
  adds direct file upload.
- MCP Registry: `com.echosaw/mcp-server`
