Perplexity

Headless video rendering via Claude Code

This MCP tool lets you run `create_video_render_job` straight from your shell, letting you bypass web browsers to trigger video builds. The agent checks your active setups with `list_video_templates` to find the right deployment. Because it runs in your CLI, you can pipe the output of these commands to other terminal utilities. It makes scripting automated video generation runs simple and keeps you focused on your command line.

Instant pipeline diagnostics

This MCP Server runs `check_api_health` to verify that your connection to the re.video platform is active and stable when a build fails. It gives you the diagnostics you need immediately. You can inspect the last few runs using `list_recent_render_jobs` to spot failing patterns. The agent can pull the exact error details for any failed job by calling `get_render_job_status` without leaving your terminal session.

Command-line asset verification

The agent calls `list_uploaded_assets` to check your remote library and match them against your template needs before you kick off a heavy rendering job. This ensures your media assets are in place. It can also inspect your organization folders using `list_asset_folders` to confirm that files are organized correctly. This prevents failed rendering jobs due to missing assets or incorrect path references.
