  1. 1. Give access.

    Approve the assistant, project and export folder in Toads.

  2. 2. Review the edit.

    The assistant reads the project. Toads makes each edit. You can undo it.

  3. 3. Get the file.

    Toads saves the video in the folder you chose. It does not publish the file.

Toads also gives assistants five ready-made requests. They cover editing, review, titles, recording and the Toads guide.

Connect your assistant

  • Claude Desktop

    Choose Add to Claude in Toads Settings.

  • Claude Code

    Choose Connect in Toads Settings.

  • Other MCP apps

    Choose Copy Settings. Paste them into your MCP app. Individual apps need their own test.

MCP requires a direct Toads download, an active license and macOS 15 or later.

You control access

Approve each assistant and project in Toads. Choose which folders it can read or use for exports. Remove access at any time.

Toads keeps your original recordings on your Mac. Exports never replace an existing file. Toads does not send your projects to us.

Your assistant can send what it reads to its AI provider. This can include transcript text, frames, file names and notes. Check that app’s privacy terms.

Recording needs separate access. Toads shows a countdown and a red recording bar. You can stop the take.
