About api.video MCP Server
Connect your api.video account to any AI agent and take full control of your professional video hosting infrastructure and automated media workflows through natural conversation.
When paired with CrewAI, api.video becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call api.video tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
What you can do
- Video Orchestration — List and manage your entire high-fidelity video library programmatically, or create new video objects to prepare for uploads in real-time
- Asset Intelligence — Retrieve detailed high-fidelity status and direct asset URLs for players, thumbnails, and navigation markers (chapters) directly through your agent
- Deep Analytics Tracking — Monitor performance metrics like total plays and impressions using high-fidelity aggregation tools to coordinate your content strategy
- Multilingual Captions — Access and manage subtitle tracks across multiple languages to maintain a perfectly coordinated global viewer experience
- Infrastructure Monitoring — Access your directory of custom player themes and store-level metadata directly through your agent for instant operational reporting

python crew.py. CrewAI auto-discovers 9 tools from api.videoWhy Use CrewAI with the api.video MCP Server
CrewAI Multi-Agent Orchestration Framework provides unique advantages when paired with api.video through the Model Context Protocol.
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the `mcps` parameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports
api.video + CrewAI Use Cases
Practical scenarios where CrewAI combined with the api.video MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Automated multi-step research: a reconnaissance agent queries api.video for raw data, then a second analyst agent cross-references findings and flags anomalies. all without human handoff
Scheduled intelligence reports: set up a crew that periodically queries api.video, analyzes trends over time, and generates executive briefings in markdown or PDF format
Multi-source enrichment pipelines: chain api.video tools with other MCP servers in the same crew, letting agents correlate data across multiple providers in a single workflow
Compliance and audit automation: a compliance agent queries api.video against predefined policy rules, generates deviation reports, and routes findings to the appropriate team
Example Prompts for api.video in CrewAI
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your CrewAI agent to start working with api.video immediately.
"List the last 5 videos in my api.video account."
"Show the play count analytics for all videos this month."
"Get the player link and captions for video ID 'vi123'."

api.video + CrewAI FAQ
Common questions about integrating api.video MCP Server with CrewAI.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
