Direct terminal-based video metadata queries
`get_asset_details` lets you inspect video metadata without opening a web browser or a heavy IDE. Run a single command in your terminal, and Claude Code pulls the exact frame rate, asset ID, and upload status. You can pipe this output directly into local scripts or grep for specific file formats. It is designed for terminal purists who want to audit assets without leaving the command line.
Scripted comment management via CLI MCP Server
`add_comment` allows you to inject feedback directly into active review timelines from the terminal. If you are running a local video processing script, Claude Code can automatically post status updates to the asset. It uses `list_asset_comments` to print the entire discussion thread of an asset directly to standard output. This makes it easy to track editor feedback during automated build pipelines.
Headless workspace audits
`list_projects` lets Claude Code scan your active team projects and output them as a clean terminal list. You can quickly locate project IDs for your CI/CD configurations. Combine this with `list_folders` to navigate nested directories inside your terminal session. It replaces the slow point-and-click web interface with instant, text-based directory traversal.
