Pull MediaSilo project assets directly into Claude Desktop

The `get_project_assets` tool pulls every file from your specific MediaSilo workspace directory straight into your Claude Desktop chat window. You don't have to keep a MediaSilo browser tab open to check if your latest video cuts landed in Claude Desktop. Instead, just ask your Claude Desktop agent to pull the MediaSilo folder contents and display the exact filenames and upload timestamps. This direct Claude Desktop connection lets you compare MediaSilo asset lists against your local production schedules.

Search and inspect video assets inside your chat

The `search_assets` tool queries your MediaSilo library inside Claude Desktop using natural language terms to find specific clips and project files. You type a description of the shot you need in Claude Desktop, and your agent scans your MediaSilo library to find matches instantly. Once found, the `get_asset` tool retrieves the exact MediaSilo metadata, file formats, and creation dates directly into your Claude Desktop workspace. Claude Desktop displays these technical MediaSilo specifications directly in your chat, saving you from hunting through deep folder structures.

Manage and verify Quicklinks within Claude Desktop

The `list_quicklinks` tool retrieves active review links from your MediaSilo workspace so you can audit them inside Claude Desktop. You don't need to dig through your email history when Claude Desktop can pull the active MediaSilo review streams instantly. Your Claude Desktop agent uses `get_quicklink` to verify expiration dates and security settings on those active MediaSilo review streams. Running this MCP Server inside Claude Desktop gives you a fast way to audit external MediaSilo sharing permissions before hopping on a client call.
