Perplexity

Control video infrastructure from Claude Code

The Cloudflare Stream MCP Server exposes 26 video management tools to your command line. You can pipe terminal commands directly into Claude Code, prompting it to call `list_videos` and filter the results by status or type. When you need to clean up storage, the CLI agent runs `get_storage_usage` to find your usage limits and executes `delete_video` to purge stale files. You manage your entire video library without leaving the terminal.

Script live streaming configurations in the CLI

This server lets you automate live stream provisioning using simple terminal commands. You tell Claude Code to set up a live broadcast, and it runs `create_live_input` to generate the ingest keys. For multi-platform broadcasts, the agent executes `create_live_output` to configure simulcasting to YouTube or Twitch. It spits out the RTMP details directly into your terminal session.

Automate video downloads and signing keys

This toolset allows Claude Code to secure and package your video files. The agent runs `create_signing_key` to set up tokenized access and uses `edit_video` to apply the security settings. To make videos available offline, Claude Code calls `create_mp4_download` or `create_m4a_download` to generate downloadable formats. It prints the secure links directly to your terminal for quick sharing.
