Autonomous Playlist Assembly in Windsurf

Cascade can inspect your Brightcove Video Cloud library and build themed playlists without you prompting every single step. It grabs the full list of assets with `list_videos`, checks your current structure using `list_playlists`, and then creates target collections via `create_playlist` based on your project requirements. You don't have to guide this Windsurf agent through the process manually. Just tell Cascade to organize your recent product demos, and it chains these tools together to group and structure your Brightcove media assets instantly.

Bulk Metadata Updates via Cascade

Keeping video details accurate across massive accounts is tedious, but this MCP Server lets Cascade handle it directly. When your team rebrands or changes naming conventions, the agent pulls video details with `get_video` and applies changes using `update_video` across your library. Because Windsurf runs these tasks in a continuous chain, it can cross-reference multiple folders using `get_folder_videos` and apply bulk edits to specific subsets of files. You just watch the execution plan complete in the sidebar.

Folder Auditing and Video Cleanup

Cascade makes it easy to audit clutter by scanning your entire account structure using this MCP connection. The agent calls `list_folders` and matches the results against `get_video_count` to identify empty or outdated directories. If it finds dead assets or old drafts that need to go, it can purge them using `delete_video` to keep your Brightcove storage clean. You get a clean workspace without clicking through the web console.
