Search and Fetch Media Metadata in Claude Desktop

The `search_video_content` and `get_content_metadata` tools pull raw iQiyi video catalogs directly into your desktop chat window. You ask Claude to find top-trending dramas or grab specific video IDs, and it queries the live platform instantly. No browser tabs to manage, no API keys to copy. Claude parses the raw JSON payload and prints clean lists in your chat. Running this MCP Server as a local subprocess means your queries execute in milliseconds, right on your machine.

Verify VIP Membership and User Profiles

The `get_user_profile` and `get_vip_status` tools expose subscriber tiers and account details to your chat environment. This lets you check which users have active premium access without logging into the admin console. Claude Desktop parses the response to show renewal dates and user tiers. You write a prompt to verify a list of user IDs, and the local agent runs the checks sequentially.

Track Order History and Video Rankings

The `get_order_info`, `list_user_orders`, and `get_video_rankings` tools retrieve commercial transactions and trending content feeds. This lets you inspect purchase histories and identify which shows drive sales. Claude Desktop displays the transactional data in clean markdown tables. It takes five seconds to analyze purchase trends across thousands of test accounts.
