# Brightcove MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Brightcove MCP lets you manage your video library directly through your AI agent. You can list videos, organize playlists, and update metadata without leaving your workspace. It connects your Brightcove Video Cloud account to your workflow, making it easy to monitor assets and handle content organization in plain English. ## Overview - **Category:** image-video - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_0CdOIDEvlofbi9UD3AeIn0DJmIjxtqxQqEOJvpai/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** video-hosting, video-analytics, playlist-management, media-publishing, content-delivery, video-metadata ## Description Managing a massive video library usually means jumping between tabs, digging through complex dashboards, and hunting for specific assets using obscure IDs. It's a slog. This Connector changes that by letting you talk to your Brightcove account like you're talking to a teammate. Instead of manually clicking through folders to find a specific clip, you just ask your agent to find it for you. You can swap out metadata on the fly, build out playlists for different platforms, and keep an eye on your total video counts without ever opening the dashboard. It's a huge time saver for anyone who spends their day moving content around. When you use this through the Vinkius catalog, you get a direct line to your media assets, letting you focus on the actual content rather than the administrative overhead of hosting it. ## Tools ### get_folder_videos List all videos inside a specific folder. This is useful for seeing exactly what's contained in a particular directory. ### get_video_count Get the total number of videos in your account.

They ask the agent to find videos tagged with 'tutorial' to see the relevant assets. ### Organizing a new series for social media A producer needs to organize a new series. They use `create_playlist` to group specific videos into a 'Training Series' collection. ### Verifying folder structure for API sync A developer is checking an integration. They use `list_folders` to verify that the API is correctly mapping the folder structure. ### Auditing active content for a campaign A manager needs to audit active content for a campaign. They use `get_video` to check the status and metadata of a specific high-priority asset. ## Benefits - Stop hunting for assets by using `list_videos` to see your entire library in seconds. - Update video metadata instantly with `update_video` to keep your titles and descriptions current. - Organize content faster by using `create_playlist` to build collections for different platforms. - Get quick status updates on your library size using `get_video_count` instead of manual auditing. - Access technical specs on demand using `get_video` to pull data for production reports without leaving your workspace. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a natural language interface for your entire Brightcove video library. 1.
