Build video galleries in Claude Desktop

Tell Claude Desktop to spin up a new media hub via our MCP Server and it runs `create_new_gallery` using your existing Cincopa templates. You do not need to click through the web interface to organize your visual assets; Claude Desktop pulls your templates with `list_cincopa_templates` so you can choose the right layout immediately. Once your layout is set, Claude Desktop uses `get_gallery_details` to verify the structure. This keeps your Cincopa media pipelines organized right inside your Claude Desktop chat interface.

Feed live asset metadata to your Claude Desktop chat

This Cincopa MCP Server lets you audit your entire hosting storage using `list_cincopa_assets` directly from your Claude Desktop chat window. You get immediate access to Cincopa file sizes, playback formats, and hosting statuses inside Claude Desktop without logging into a separate portal. When you need deep details on a specific clip, Claude Desktop calls `get_asset_metadata` to inspect the exact parameters. You can quickly spot unoptimized Cincopa files or track down missing assets directly from Claude Desktop in seconds.

Generate secure asset upload links instantly

Instead of manual uploads, ask Claude Desktop to use this Cincopa MCP Server to push raw files. Your Claude Desktop chat triggers `get_media_upload_url` to hand you a temporary, secure Cincopa upload endpoint. If you need to clean up old files after a transfer, Claude Desktop executes `delete_media_asset` to wipe them from Cincopa. This Cincopa workflow keeps your Claude Desktop workspace tidy without manual clicking.
