# Transloadit MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Transloadit is a versatile file uploading and processing API that lets your AI agent orchestrate complex media pipelines. It handles everything from resizing images and transcoding videos to converting documents and monitoring assembly statuses. Use it to automate high-volume file tasks, manage reusable templates, and oversee your processing queue without manual intervention. ## Overview - **Category:** developer-tools - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_tJ5s0zzxDyJx2GZVtC2VsuJxy22vQxnsVuLx4FPU/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** file-processing, media-encoding, file-upload, image-resizing, video-transcoding, api-pipeline ## Description Imagine you have a massive batch of raw video files that need to be converted into different formats for different platforms. Usually, that means setting up complex scripts or manually monitoring progress bars for hours. With this Connector, you just tell your agent what needs to happen. It can create a processing template, trigger the work, and then keep an eye on the status for you. You can even ask it to stop a job if you realize you made a mistake or to re-run a finished task if the output wasn't quite right. It's a way to turn your AI into a production-ready media engineer. Because Vinkius hosts this, you can plug it into your existing workflow and let your agent handle the heavy lifting of file manipulation while you focus on the bigger picture. You can check your account status to ensure everything is connected correctly and watch your monthly spending to stay on budget. The goal here is to move away from clicking through dashboards and toward a system where your agent handles the queue while you handle the creative direction. ## Tools ### get_assembly Check the status and results of a specific file processing job. This helps you know exactly when a file is ready for use. ### get_me Check your account context and connection status. Use this to make sure your credentials are working correctly. ### get_template Get the details for a specific processing template. This is useful for seeing what rules are applied to a set of files. ### list_assemblies List all your current and past file processing assemblies. Use this to see a history of your work. ### list_templates See all your reusable processing templates in one list. This helps you manage your different encoding and resizing rules. ### replay_assembly Run a completed assembly again. This is perfect for when you need to re-process a file with the same settings. ### update_template Change the settings on an existing processing template. Use this to modify your encoding or resizing rules without starting over. ### cancel_assembly Stop a running assembly immediately. This saves time and resources if you need to halt a job in progress. ### create_assembly Start a new file processing assembly. This is how you actually trigger the work for your files. ### create_template Make a new processing template for your files. Use this to save your preferred settings for future use. ### delete_template Remove a template from your account. Use this to clean up old or unused processing rules. ### get_bill Check your billing information for a specific month. This helps you track your usage costs over time. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Can you check if the video encoding job for the 'Summer Campaign' is done yet? ``` **Response:** ``` The encoding job for 'Summer Campaign' is currently **In Progress**. - **Status**: Processing - **Progress**: 65% - **Estimated Completion**: 4 minutes I'll let you know as soon as it's finished and provide the output URL. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Create a new template for resizing images to 800x800 pixels. ``` **Response:** ``` I've created a new template for you. - **Template Name**: Image Resize 800x800 - **Action**: Resize - **Dimensions**: 800 x 800 - **Format**: JPEG You can now use this template whenever you need to batch resize images. ``` **Prompt:** ``` I need to stop the current image processing job because I sent the wrong files. ``` **Response:** ``` I've successfully stopped the active image processing job. - **Action**: Cancelled - **Reason**: User requested halt The job has been removed from the active queue. Let me know if you need anything else. ``` ## Capabilities ### Track assembly progress Get real-time status updates on active file processing jobs. ### Build processing templates Define reusable rules for how files should be handled. ### Stop active jobs Immediately cancel a running assembly to save on processing time. ### Manage billing Check your monthly usage and costs directly through the chat. ### Re-run finished tasks Start a new assembly using the results of a previous one. ## Use Cases ### E-commerce image optimization An agent takes a folder of high-res photos and creates a batch resize for mobile users using create_template and create_assembly. ### Video content distribution An agent encodes a raw video into multiple formats for different streaming services using your predefined encoding rules. ### Document conversion A user asks the agent to convert a batch of PDFs into accessible formats for an internal database. ### Automated media cleanup An agent monitors a queue and cancels any assemblies that have been stuck for too long using cancel_assembly. ## Benefits - Stop manual monitoring with get_assembly to see exactly where a job stands in the queue. - Save time on repetitive tasks by creating reusable rules with create_template. - Cut costs by quickly stopping unnecessary jobs with cancel_assembly. - Keep your workspace clean by managing your entire library with list_templates. - Stay on top of your budget by checking monthly costs with get_bill. - Ensure your connection is solid with get_me to avoid interrupted workflows. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a production-grade media pipeline managed entirely by your agent. 1. Connect your Transloadit account to your AI client via the Vinkius catalog. 2. Create a template defining your encoding or resizing rules. 3. Ask your agent to start an assembly and provide the output URL. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can the Transloadit MCP handle large video files?** Yes, it is designed specifically for high-volume media tasks like transcoding and encoding large video files. **How do I use the Transloadit MCP to resize images?** You can create a template with your desired dimensions and then ask your agent to apply that template to your image files. **Can I see my monthly costs using the Transloadit MCP?** Yes, your agent can check your billing information for any specific month to help you keep track of your usage costs. **How does the Transloadit MCP handle multiple file types?** It supports a wide range of file types, including videos, images, and documents, for various processing actions. **Can I stop a job that is already running with the Transloadit MCP?** Yes, you can ask your agent to cancel any active assembly immediately to save on processing time and resources. **Is the Transloadit MCP good for converting PDFs?** It is excellent for document conversion tasks, allowing you to automate the processing of PDF files into different formats. **Can I check the status of a specific file assembly?** Yes, just provide the Assembly ID to the agent, and it will return the real-time processing status and output URLs. **Does it support triggering new conversions?** You can trigger new pipelines if you supply a valid Template ID and the source file URLs. **How do I list my active templates?** Ask the AI to 'List all Transloadit templates' and it will retrieve your available processing recipes.
