# Vidyard MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Vidyard MCP lets you manage your entire video library and custom players through an AI agent. Instead of hunting through the Vidyard dashboard, you can ask your agent to find specific assets, grab direct download links, or set up new video players for your website. It turns your AI into a dedicated video asset manager, handling the tedious stuff like metadata checks and player organization. ## Overview - **Category:** marketing-automation - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_abTQxtsLKtgw35GZeQ2HcOHUDvGIYwI0eZ64SP03/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** video-hosting, video-messaging, content-management, video-analytics, sales-enablement, media-assets ## Description Managing a library of business videos usually means jumping between tabs, digging through folders, and hunting for that one specific MP4 link someone asked for. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent do the heavy lifting for you. You can talk to your agent to find a specific product demo, grab the direct stream URL for a 720p version, or see if a video is still encoding. It handles the organization too, like attaching a new video to a specific player or updating a player's name across your marketing materials. If you're looking for a way to keep your video assets organized without the manual headache, Vinkius makes it easy to plug this into your existing workflow. It's about moving from where did I put that link to get me the link for the Q3 update and having the answer instantly. ## Tools ### create_empty_player Creates a new, empty video player container.
