Manage live events in Claude Desktop

Trigger event transitions without leaving your chat. You can use `create_event` to spin up new broadcast windows and `start_event` or `stop_event` to handle the lifecycle of your live streams. This keeps your production workflow inside the agent window. It removes the need to switch between your dashboard and your AI client when managing active broadcasts.

Streamline VOD and manifest handling

Pull playback manifests instantly for your engineering team. Use `get_hls_manifest` and `get_dash_manifest` to verify stream health during troubleshooting sessions. Updating metadata for your library is just as simple. The `update_asset` and `list_assets` tools allow you to track and modify your content catalog within the interface.

Analyze playback performance

Get real-time insights into your viewership metrics. The `get_playback_report` tool provides the data you need to assess stream quality and user engagement patterns. If you need to dig deeper into errors, `list_logs` fetches the relevant files for your review. It is the fastest way to get raw diagnostics from Limelight Networks (Edgio CDN & Streaming API) directly into your workspace.
