Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted api.video server that lets an assistant list, create, update and delete videos and live streams, inspect captions and players, and read play analytics.

What you can do
  • List, inspect and check processing status of videos, including encoding and playability.
  • Create, update and permanently delete videos, optionally ingesting from a public video URL.
  • List live streams and create new ones, returning a stream key and RTMP ingest URL.
  • List caption tracks, chapter tracks, player themes and configured webhooks.
  • Read aggregated play analytics for videos and live streams over a date range, grouped by dimension.
  • Check monthly tool-call usage, request a missing feature, and upgrade or cancel the paid plan.
When to use it
Useful when you work with api.video content and want an assistant to answer questions about your video library, live streams and play counts, or to create and manage videos and live streams without leaving the chat.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint, no local install. Sign-in is by OAuth; the login page asks for your api.video API key, which is validated and stored per user. Do not add an Authorization header or API key to the client config. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month.
Before you install
Write tools create, change and permanently delete videos and live streams; deletion cannot be undone, so confirm before running them. The api.video API key is entered at sign-in and stored by the hosted provider. Paid plans cost money: Pro at $9/month or $90/year and Pro+ at $39/month or $390/year, billed through a Stripe Checkout link, with no refund for the current period on cancellation.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open api.video MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fapivideo/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

api.video MCP by usefulapi

Manage videos, live streams, and analytics on api.video from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hosted, no local install — connect with your api.video API key.

Live endpoint: https://apivideo.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/apivideo

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://apivideo.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http apivideo https://apivideo.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "apivideo": {      "url": "https://apivideo.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your api.video credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/apivideo/

On first connect you'll paste your api.video API key. It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you.
