How to Use the Transloadit MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I track my file processing usage with Transloadit and Windsurf?

You pass the month in YYYY-MM format to getbillingusage. This method pulls your full file processing costs for that specific period, letting you budget accurately.

Use createprocessingtemplate. This function takes the steps JSON and saves it as a named template. You'll access this saved structure later using listtemplates.

Perplexity

Automate Video and Image Processing

You tell Windsurf your goal—say, 'resize all images in this folder and encode the video.' It reads that context and plans a multi-step sequence using `create_assembly`. You just set the target; Cascade handles the whole pipeline execution. Once the assembly finishes, you use `get_assembly_details` to check the status or pull results. Need to fix something? Use `replay_assembly` to re-run it without rebuilding the template.

Manage Processing Templates

Setting up a new pipeline is easy with Windsurf. You call `create_processing_template`, giving it a name and the steps JSON. This saves complex workflows for later use, so you don't have to rebuild them every time. Later on, if that template is garbage, just run `delete_template`. It's final, but it keeps your workspace clean.

Track Usage and Billing

Need to know how much media processing ate up this month? Running `get_billing_usage` takes a YYYY-MM format and spits out your usage costs. It's crucial for keeping overhead in check. Tracking is also key when you list recent runs using `list_assemblies`. That gives you a quick overview of what Transloadit was doing across the account.
