Setup
Authentication
[!IMPORTANT] This server uses Loom's internal GraphQL API via a browser session cookie. There is no official API key — you must grab the cookie from your browser.
- Open loom.com in your browser
- Open DevTools (F12) → Application → Cookies →
https://www.loom.com - Copy the value of the
connect.sidcookie (starts withs%3A...) - Paste it as
LOOM_COOKIEin your MCP client config below, prefixed withconnect.sid=
The cookie lasts about 30 days. See Troubleshooting if you get auth errors.
Installation
Pick your MCP client below for the appropriate config. Each uses uvx to install and run directly from GitHub — no clone needed.
Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"loom": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/karbassi/loom-mcp.git", "loom-mcp"],
"env": {
"LOOM_COOKIE": "connect.sid=s%3A..."
}
}
}
}
Claude Code
claude mcp add loom -- uvx --from git+https://github.com/karbassi/loom-mcp.git loom-mcp
Then set the env var in your shell or .env:
export LOOM_COOKIE="connect.sid=s%3A..."
Cursor
Add to your Cursor MCP settings (.cursor/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"loom": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/karbassi/loom-mcp.git", "loom-mcp"],
"env": {
"LOOM_COOKIE": "connect.sid=s%3A..."
}
}
}
}
VS Code
Add to your VS Code settings (.vscode/mcp.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"loom": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/karbassi/loom-mcp.git", "loom-mcp"],
"env": {
"LOOM_COOKIE": "connect.sid=s%3A..."
}
}
}
}
Local clone
git clone git@github.com:karbassi/loom-mcp.git
cd loom-mcp
uv sync
uv run loom-mcp
Or reference it from any MCP client:
{
"mcpServers": {
"loom": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uv",
"args": ["run", "--directory", "/path/to/loom-mcp", "loom-mcp"],
"env": {
"LOOM_COOKIE": "connect.sid=s%3A..."
}
}
}
}
Shared HTTP server
By default every client starts its own stdio process. To run one long-lived server that many clients share:
LOOM_COOKIE="connect.sid=s%3A..." LOOM_MCP_TRANSPORT=http LOOM_MCP_PORT=8505 loom-mcp
{
"mcpServers": {
"loom": { "type": "http", "url": "http://127.0.0.1:8505/mcp" }
}
}
The endpoint has no authentication: anything that can connect to it can use every tool with your Loom session, including deleting videos. So:
- The server only binds to loopback (
LOOM_MCP_HOSTmust be127.0.0.1,localhost, or::1). Any local process can still connect, so only use HTTP mode on a machine where every local user and process is trusted with your Loom account. - It always turns on FastMCP's Host/Origin protection, which FastMCP leaves off by default. That check only stops DNS-rebinding attacks from web pages. It does not authenticate anyone.
- To reach it from another machine, put it behind a reverse proxy that controls who can connect: a bearer token, mTLS, an IP allowlist on a private network, or similar. Then add the proxy's hostname to
FASTMCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_HOSTS, e.g.FASTMCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_HOSTS='["mcp.example.com"]'. If a browser-based client will call it, also add that client's origin toFASTMCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS, e.g.'["https://mcp.example.com"]'. Never expose the port or the proxy publicly without access control.
File-writing tools (save_dir on the read tools, download_media) write on the server's machine, not the client's, and need absolute paths. See Saving to disk.

Saving to disk
Most per-video read tools accept an optional save_dir parameter. When provided, the tool saves its output to {save_dir}/{video_id}/ and returns the file path alongside the content. When omitted, nothing is saved.
save_dir (and download_media's out_path) must be an absolute path; ~ is expanded. Relative paths are rejected because they would resolve against the server process's working directory, which means nothing for a shared or launchd-managed server.
Just ask naturally — "get the details from my last meeting and save them to ~/Downloads/loom" — and the LLM will pass save_dir="~/Downloads/loom" to the tool.
get_video_details saves each piece individually (metadata.json, transcript.txt, summary.txt, etc.) plus a combined details.md.
Troubleshooting
Auth errors
If you get auth errors, your connect.sid cookie has expired (~30 days). Grab a fresh one from your browser using the steps in Authentication.
