How to Use the Transloadit MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I check my Transloadit account status using Windsurf?

Just call getme via the MCP Server connection. It checks your API connectivity and gives you immediate access to your core account context so you know if everything's working.

Q: Does Transloadit handle billing data within Windsurf?

Yep. You use getbill to pull specific monthly billing records. This tool lets you track costs directly from the MCP Server without leaving your IDE environment.

Q: Can I list all available templates in Transloadit using Windsurf?

Absolutely. Running listtemplates shows every reusable processing template stored on Transloadit. This is key for knowing what structures you can build or modify next.

Q: What data types does the Transloadit MCP Server touch when used with Windsurf?

The server handles account context, billing information (getbill), and template definitions. It's all about managing structured workflow metadata.

Q: If I need to restart a failed job in Transloadit using Windsurf, what should I do?

You can use replayassembly on a completed assembly ID. This re-runs the job without you having to manually rebuild the process steps.

Run complex data pipelines automatically with Windsurf's built-in Transloadit MCP Server support.

Manage File Processing Assemblies

You can start a file processing job by calling `create_assembly`. This kicks off the backend work, and you immediately get a job ID. Later, use `get_assembly` to check if it finished, or if you need to re-run the process with `replay_assembly`.

Template Creation and Management

Need a reusable processing structure? Call `create_template` to build one from scratch. Once done, use `list_templates` to see what you've got. If something changes, remember you can update it using `update_template`, or delete it permanently with `delete_template`.

Check Account Status and Billing

Before running anything big, check connectivity and account context by invoking `get_me`. Need to know how much the job cost? Call `get_bill` to retrieve specific billing information for a given month. This gives you visibility into your usage.
