How to Use the Vidyard MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I check my Vidyard assets using Windsurf?

Windsurf can run listvideos to give you a complete manifest of every video asset stored in your account. This gives you the IDs you need for other operations.

Q: Can Windsurf delete players or videos from Vidyard?

Yes. You can use deletevideoplayer to remove a container, and if necessary, run deletevideoasset. Just remember that deleting assets is irreversible.

Q: What happens when I check player details with Vidyard using Windsurf?

The agent executes getplayerdetails to pull the current configuration and metadata for a specific video player. This confirms if it’s ready to host new content.

List and Discover Video Assets via the MCP Server

Need to know what you’ve got? Use the MCP Server to get a full inventory of your assets. The `list_videos` tool pulls every video asset stored in Vidyard, while `list_video_players` shows all configured facades (or player containers) in the account.

Build and Configure Video Players

Setting up a new player or modifying an existing one is simple. You can create a container using `create_empty_player`, then use `update_player_name` to give it a clear label for your team. If you need to link content, `attach_video_to_player` handles binding a specific video ID to that player.

Retrieve Video Technical Data

When the agent runs into technical specs or stream links, it has options. Call `get_video_details` for general technical metadata on an asset. For deployment scripts, you can use `get_video_source_files` to pull direct stream URLs for multiple qualities like 480p and 720p.

Refresh MCPs

Go back to the hammer icon (🔨) in Cascade and click "Refresh". Windsurf will detect the new server. No full restart is needed — the connection is hot-reloaded.

Common questions about Vidyard MCP in Windsurf

Windsurf can run `list_videos` to give you a complete manifest of every video asset stored in your account. This gives you the IDs you need for other operations.

Yes. You can use `delete_video_player` to remove a container, and if necessary, run `delete_video_asset`. Just remember that deleting assets is irreversible.

The agent executes `get_player_details` to pull the current configuration and metadata for a specific video player. This confirms if it’s ready to host new content.

Absolutely. Cascade automatically reads context; you set the goal—like 'list all players and get their URLs'—and it handles calling `list_video_players` and then `get_video_source_files` in sequence.

You permanently remove the video asset itself. The primary data type you're deleting is the core video file and its associated metadata from the server.
