Control media assets from Claude Desktop

Stop leaving your chat window to check on video processing status. This MCP server lets your desktop agent run `get_video_details` and `list_videos` to track transcoding progress in real time. You can spin up new media folders on the fly. Tell Claude to execute `create_collection` to organize your incoming raw assets before running `create_video_upload` to start the ingestion pipeline.

Audit image delivery configurations

Claude reads your current image optimization configurations via `list_image_sources` to see exactly which domains are active. This helps you verify content delivery parameters without digging through settings pages. Use these details to troubleshoot caching issues or verify that your team has configured source domains correctly. Our MCP integration keeps your desktop workspace clean and fast.

Monitor video performance metrics

Get raw engagement data during your conversations. The agent queries `get_video_analytics` to pull playback statistics and viewer drop-off points directly into your chat. You can also track system integration health. Claude uses `list_webhooks` to list active event endpoints, letting you verify that status updates reach your app servers.

Common questions about Gumlet MCP in Claude Desktop

Open your desktop configuration file and add the server configuration block under the mcpServers key. Once you save and restart the application, Claude Desktop will immediately recognize the media tools.

No, the client does not stream the binary data itself. Claude Desktop uses `create_video_upload` to generate a secure, pre-signed upload URL, which you then use in your terminal or app to transfer the file.

Look for the hammer icon in your chat window. Clicking it shows active commands like `get_account_info` and `list_video_collections`, indicating the connection is live.

The server uses your API key permissions. If your key has full access, the agent can run `delete_video` or `update_video_thumbnail` on any asset in your account.

Your raw video analytics and collection structures stay strictly between your local machine and the media API. The integration passes metadata directly through local stdio without routing your proprietary viewing figures through third-party servers.
