Perplexity

Find and Play Videos Instantly

This toolset lets Cascade find and play videos from your Aliyun library in one step. Just ask something like, "Get me the latest product demo video," and watch it happen. Cascade knows to use `search_vod_media` to find the right file and then immediately call `get_playback_info` to serve up the URL. It's a huge time-saver. You don't have to manually look up video IDs or chain commands yourself. Cascade reads your request, understands the goal, and executes the sequence. You get a playable link without the busywork.

Automate Content Audits with this MCP Server

You can turn Cascade into a content auditor for your video library. Give it a goal like, "Check all videos in the 'archive' category for metadata completion." Cascade will use `list_categories` to find the right bucket, `list_media` to get all the video files within it, and then loop over them with `get_media_metadata`. This isn't just about finding files. It's about running a process across your entire catalog automatically. Cascade can build a report or flag files that fail your checks, all from a single prompt. This MCP server gives it the tools to do the job.

Handle Video Uploads Autonomously

Getting new videos into Aliyun VOD gets a lot simpler. Cascade can now handle the authentication part of your upload workflow. When you need to upload a file, it can call `create_upload_auth` to generate the temporary credentials your script needs. If you're running a big batch job and a token expires, that's covered too. Cascade can use the `refresh_upload_auth` tool to get a fresh one and keep the process going without any manual intervention. It's one less thing to worry about.

Common questions about Aliyun VOD / 阿里云视频点播 MCP in Windsurf

Go to the MCP Marketplace inside Windsurf and search for it, then click to install. Or, you can add it manually by editing your mcp_config.json file. Cascade discovers the tools as soon as the server is connected.

Yes. The `delete_media` tool is included. You can tell Cascade, "Delete video ID 12345," and it will execute the command. Be careful, as this action is permanent.

Just describe what you're looking for in plain English. Cascade will automatically use the `search_vod_media` tool. You can search by title, tags, or other metadata fields you've set up in your VOD account.

The Vinkius platform manages rate limits to ensure fair use, but they are generally high enough for typical interactive use. The underlying limits of your Aliyun VOD account API also apply.

The server only processes video metadata, playback URLs, and temporary upload credentials. Every request from Windsurf is proxied through a Vinkius ephemeral sandbox. Your actual Aliyun VOD API keys are never exposed to your local client.
