Headless media processing for Claude Code

Integrate `start_video_transcode` into your CI/CD scripts to automate media encoding. Claude Code manages the asynchronous job flow using `get_video_status` until completion. This is ideal for backend devs who need to process user-uploaded video without building custom infrastructure. It runs in your terminal as part of your deployment workflow.

Batch OCR and analysis with Claude Code

Pipe file lists into `get_ocr` or `get_image_tags` to process thousands of assets. Claude Code handles the tool execution in a loop, providing structured output for your logs. This keeps your terminal sessions clean while offloading compute-heavy analysis tasks. You get the results back as JSON for further shell processing.

Remote file ingestion for Claude Code

Use `upload_from_url` to pull assets directly from the web into your storage. Claude Code can then fetch the file details via `get_metadata` to verify the upload succeeded. This is perfect for automated sync jobs. It ensures your media assets are ready for your application before the build process even starts.
