About Mux MCP Server
Connect your Mux Video account to your AI agent and take full control of your video infrastructure and streaming workflows through natural conversation.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Mux tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 11 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Asset Management — List all video assets and get real-time status updates, durations, and playback IDs.
- Asset Creation — Create new video assets instantly by providing a public URL to your source file.
- Live Streaming — Access and monitor your live stream configurations and their current status.
- Direct Uploads — Create secure upload sessions for uploading video files directly.
- Video Analytics — Get recent video view metrics to track your content's reach.
- Deep Inspection — Fetch complete metadata for specific assets or live streams using their unique IDs.
