How to Use the Vidyard MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I list all Vidyard videos using Claude Code?

You pipe the output of the listvideos tool into your script. This gives you a clean, command-line manifest of every stored asset ID.

Q: Can I get streaming URLs for quality checks with Vidyard using Claude Code?

Yes. Run getvideosourcefiles and the resulting output stream includes direct URLs for 480p, 720p, and other qualities you can pipe into curl.

Q: What if I need to delete a video in a script using Vidyard?

Use deletevideoasset. Because this is irreversible, always run a verification check (like getvideodetails) first before executing the command.

Q: Does Claude Code support multi-step Vidyard operations?

Yes. You can script sequences like: 1) createemptyplayer, then 2) updateplayername to tag it, and finally 3) attach content using attachvideotoplayer.

Automate Vidyard video hosting tasks via shell scripts using Claude Code and the MCP Server.

Run Inventory Checks on Vidyard Assets

Need a full asset manifest for your pipeline? Pipe the output of `list_videos` to build an inventory list. If you need direct streaming links, run `get_video_source_files` and pipe those URLs (480p, 720p) into your testing script.

Automate Player Scaffolding

For CI/CD setup, you can provision fresh video containers. Execute `create_empty_player` to get a new player ID, then immediately run `update_player_name` to tag it for your current deployment job or log file.

Verify System State and Metadata

Before deploying, confirm the system is ready. Use `get_video_details` against an asset ID to check technical specifications. For players, run `get_player_details` to verify the container's current status before attaching content.
