Automate channel configuration in Cursor

Update your linear channel settings directly from your editor. Using `update_channel` and `get_channel` allows you to sync your infrastructure code with the live state of your network. This is for when you need to change stream parameters while writing your deployment scripts. It keeps your logic and your streaming configuration in one place.

Ingest segments via Cursor Agent

Feed your video segments into the system using `upload_slice`. The agent handles the API calls while you focus on the surrounding pipeline code. This removes the need for separate manual upload scripts. You define the logic in your IDE and let the tool handle the actual data transfer to the CDN.

Validate streaming logic in real-time

Use `initialize_preplay_session` to test your SSAI integrations while you write the code. This ensures your security and ad-insertion logic works before you push to production. By getting live responses from the API, you avoid the guesswork associated with mock data. Your code becomes as reliable as your infrastructure.
