Automating Media Workflows

When defining a job, call `create_assembly` to define the entire processing pipeline using JSON steps. The system handles encoding videos and resizing images into your cloud bucket. If the team needs to pause or stop a large run, they just use `cancel_assembly`. It’s critical for maintaining project stability.

Managing Reusable Templates

Set up standard processes once by calling `create_processing_template`. This makes the steps—the JSON payload—available to every developer on the team. You can then read these definitions using `get_template_details`. Need to clean up old drafts? Use `delete_template` and commit that action to the repo.

Checking Pipeline Status

Developers rely on `list_assemblies` for a quick view of recent job activity. You can also check specific jobs using `get_assembly_details`. This lets everyone see who ran what and when. If QA needs to verify a successful build, they just call `replay_assembly` and the results show up instantly.

Setup guide

Set up Transloadit MCP in VS Code Copilot

Prerequisites

VS Code 1.99 or later with GitHub Copilot extension
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP configuration

Open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and run "MCP: Add Server". Select HTTP (Streamable) as the server type. VS Code will create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace.
2

Switch to Agent mode

Open Copilot Chat (Cmd+Shift+I / Ctrl+Shift+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode — they do not appear in Edit or Ask modes.

Verify the connection

In the Copilot Chat input, type # to list available tools. You should see the Transloadit tools listed. Try asking: "List my recent Transloadit transactions" and Copilot will invoke them automatically.
