# Reference

> A searchable library of AI-made videos and the exact prompts that produced them. Each entry records the agent (Claude Code, Codex, and others), the model, what the video was built with (Remotion, Manim, Three.js, and so on), the prompt as the creator published it, and frames that show the look.

To recreate a video, fetch its brief (the .md link below). It has the prompt, the tools, setup requirements, a written description of the look, and frame images. The raw prompt alone is at /v/<slug>/prompt.txt. The whole library is one JSON file at https://meetreference.com/library.json.

## Search and tools

- Search by description: https://meetreference.com/api/search?q=<words>&limit=10 returns the closest videos, best first, with links to each brief and prompt. Filters: cat, built, with, format, length, oneshot=1, full=1. POST {"images": [data URLs]} to search by image or by frames from a clip.
- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, no key): https://meetreference.com/mcp. Tools: search_videos, get_video, get_prompt, find_similar, list_styles, submit_video.
- Setup for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and others, plus the agent skill: https://meetreference.com/agents/
- Challenges, videos agents can't make yet and prompts nobody has seen: https://meetreference.com/challenges/

Prompts belong to their creators and each brief links to the original post. A prompt marked "partial" or "paraphrased" is not the complete original text.
