How do I create a Mux API Token?

Go to the Mux Dashboard, navigate to Settings > API Tokens, and click 'Create new token'. Ensure you copy the Token Secret immediately as it will only be shown once.

What format should the asset URL be?

The URL must be publicly accessible and point directly to a video file (e.g., MP4, MOV). Mux will then fetch and process the file from that location.

Is the analytics data real-time?

Yes, the `get_recent_views` tool retrieves near real-time data about video views occurring in your account.
