Purge stale assets from Claude Desktop with this MCP Server

The `purge` tool lets you evict outdated media files from the CDN edge directly within your chat interface. When you update a product photo or a hero banner, tell your agent to clear the cached URL, forcing an immediate re-fetch from your origin storage. Instead of opening the browser console, you just drop the image link into Claude Desktop. The agent executes the request, tracks the invalidation status, and confirms when the fresh asset is live for your users.

Configure and deploy media sources on the fly

The `create_source` tool registers new storage buckets or web folders to your CDN setup without manual API scripting. This connects your S3, Google Cloud Storage, or web origin to the delivery network in seconds. You can change deployment settings using `update_source` or temporarily pause traffic with `disable_source`. The MCP Server keeps your media assets organized while you chat.

Inspect asset metadata and check origin paths

The `get_asset` tool runs on this MCP Server to retrieve file sizes, content types, and paths for any media file on your origin server. Your agent reads this metadata to diagnose rendering issues or size mismatches without leaving the workspace. Running `list_assets` lets Claude Desktop scan your entire delivery directory. This makes it easy to find missing files, verify file extensions, and ensure your front-end references the correct CDN paths.
