Perplexity

Search media libraries via MCP Server

The `search_vod_media` and `list_media` tools let Claude dig through your Alibaba Cloud video catalog instantly. You ask for recent uploads or specific file types, and the agent returns exact matches from your cloud storage. Need to understand how your assets are organized? Calling `list_categories` pulls your exact folder and tag structures directly into the chat window. You avoid logging into the web console entirely.

Generate upload credentials fast

Running `create_upload_auth` gives Claude Desktop the temporary credentials required to push new video files to your pipeline. When tokens expire during large batch jobs, the agent triggers `refresh_upload_auth` to keep the connection alive. This completely bypasses the manual IAM token generation process. You get the raw auth strings injected right into your local scripts or terminal commands through this MCP integration.

Fetch playback URLs instantly

Executing `get_playback_info` extracts the direct streaming URLs for any video ID in your account. You can pair this with `get_media_metadata` to pull file sizes, dimensions, and duration alongside the raw stream links. Dropping these URLs into your web or mobile app prototypes takes seconds. Claude pulls the exact CDN paths you need to test video playback without writing a separate API fetch script.

Yes. Open Settings, navigate to Integrations, and paste your Vinkius remote URL into a Custom Connector. The tools load immediately in your browser.

The agent can read your local video files and request upload credentials for them using this server. You still need to execute the actual upload command locally.

Tell your agent the video ID and ask it to remove the file. It will execute delete_media to permanently erase the asset from your Alibaba Cloud account.

Vinkius runs the server in an ephemeral V8 Isolate Sandbox that destroys itself after executing your request. Your video IDs, playback URLs, and category structures never touch persistent storage.
