Frequently asked questions
CloudApp scores F on Supergood's API Report Card. Zight (formerly CloudApp) states it offers no Open API; the legacy REST API on GitHub is archived and used HTTP Digest email plus password auth. Integration today means support-configured webhooks or the embeddable Record SDK, both routed through sales or support.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly. Site terms may apply to any integration approach, and how they apply is a determination each team makes for itself.
CloudApp (rebranded as Zight in April 2023) is an async-video, screen-recording, GIF, and annotated-screenshot visual-communication platform.
Vertical: misc, horizontal async-video / asynchronous-collaboration tool. Not a vertical SaaS in any Supergood-named vertical. Support ticket clarifications, annotated screenshots and 30-90 second screen recordings dropped into Zendesk/Intercom/HubSpot tickets to explain bugs and walk customers through fixes.
Medium-low. Zight (formerly CloudApp) is a recognized brand inside the screen-capture / async-video category, particularly among support and CS teams that adopted CloudApp before Loom became the category-defining verb.
Data that flows through / lives inside Zight (formerly CloudApp) on behalf of customer organizations: Capture assets: screenshots (PNG/JPG), annotated screenshots, screen recordings (MP4/WebM), webcam recordings, GIFs, file uploads, voice recordings.
Original launch 2010 as a Max Schoening side project; current commercial company founded 2016; rebranded CloudApp → Zight in April 2023. Modern web + native client architecture (macOS, Windows, iOS, Chrome extension). No Android app.
Public REST API repo on GitHub is archived and no longer maintained, long-lived clients still depend on it. Authentication is HTTP Digest with email+password rather than OAuth 2.0 or token-based, incompatible with SSO/MFA-only orgs. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Loom (Atlassian), Vidyard, Snagit (TechSmith), Camtasia (TechSmith), ScreenPal (formerly Screencast-O-Matic), Droplr. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. As of August 2026 there is no official CloudApp MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. CloudApp doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
