Introduction

What Modo does, who it is for, and how to get a video from your machine to a player and a link.

Modo is simple video hosting you run from your AI agent. You upload a video, in the web app or by asking an agent such as Claude, and Modo gives you back a player embed and a share link. These docs explain how it works.

What is Modo?

Modo is a small, finished product on top of Cloudflare Stream. Cloudflare encodes your videos, stores them, streams them with adaptive bitrate from its global network, and provides the player. Modo adds an account, a library, embed codes, share links, private signed links, usage numbers and billing.

Who it is for

Modo is built for businesses with a modest amount of video and modest traffic: product demos in docs, a hero video on a landing page, a small course library, client videos. It is not built for live streaming, webinars, sales-video outreach or high-volume media apps.

The main parts

• Uploading videos: from the web app, from your machine through your agent, or by importing a URL.
• The player and embedding: the embed code and the share link.
• Public and private videos: public by default, private with signed links that expire.
• Connecting your AI agent: the MCP server, OAuth sign-in and the tools it offers.
• Usage and billing: minutes stored, minutes streamed, plans and overage.

Getting started

1. Start your 15-day free trial. There is no free plan, and a card is needed to start.
2. Upload a video in the web app, or connect your AI agent and ask it to upload one.
3. Copy the embed code into your page, or send the share link.
