# Livepeer MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Livepeer (Decentralized Video) lets you manage your entire decentralized video pipeline through an AI agent. Upload assets from URLs, launch live streams, generate clips from live content, and track real-time viewership metrics without switching tabs. It handles the heavy lifting of decentralized infrastructure so you can focus on the content. ## Overview - **Category:** cloud-infrastructure - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_fjDOPbIpbS2r18Rlnx6oGwNsUVinBeLE4ljCAckN/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** video-streaming, decentralized-video, live-streaming, video-api, web3-video ## Description Managing decentralized video infrastructure usually means jumping between complex dashboards, juggling API keys, and constantly refreshing pages to see if a stream is actually live. This Connector changes that by letting you handle the entire lifecycle of your video content through a natural conversation with your AI agent. You can tell your agent to grab a video from a decentralized link, set up a broadcast for multiple platforms at once, or pull down a specific clip from a broadcast you just finished. It turns a multi-tab workflow into a single chat interface. When you connect this via Vinkius, you get a direct line to your video pipeline, making it easy to manage assets, monitor viewership, and handle transcoding without ever leaving your workspace. ## Tools ### delete_multistream_target Delete a multistream target.
