How to Use the Vimeo MCP in Windsurf

Q: Can Windsurf help me check Vimeo video availability?

Absolutely. You can run a search using searchvideos or get details on an existing asset with getvideo. This lets your agent confirm if the video is public, archived, or needs an update.

List and Audit All Vimeo Assets

Cascade reads the full context to find everything you need. You can request a complete breakdown of your content by listing all assets through tools like `list_videos`, `list_folders`, or `list_groups`. This helps audit your entire presence on Vimeo without writing multiple commands. Need more detail? The server also lets you check out specific collections with `list_showcases` and see what channels you follow using `list_channels`. It’s all part of one automated plan.

Search for Specific Vimeo Content

Finding a single video among thousands shouldn't be hard. Windsurf uses the server to perform targeted searches across public content with `search_videos`. You can also pull up specific details on any asset using `get_video`. If you know the ID, just use `get_video(id)` for instant metadata retrieval. This saves time compared to browsing manually.

Update or Remove Vimeo Assets

Sometimes you need to clean up your account. Cascade handles updates automatically; it can modify video details using `update_video` when prompted. When content is retired, the server provides a direct way to remove it with `delete_video`. You'll know exactly what data needs changing or deleting before running the multi-step plan.

Common questions about Vimeo MCP in Windsurf

You just set a goal, and Cascade figures out the rest. Instead of calling separate functions for listing videos and then updating them, you tell it the outcome—like 'Update all group descriptions'—and Windsurf handles the tool chaining automatically.

Yes. Because Cascade reads context, it can plan a sequence of actions. For example, if you want to change the description on ten videos, it handles calling `update_video` for each one without you having to list them out.

Absolutely. You can run a search using `search_videos` or get details on an existing asset with `get_video`. This lets your agent confirm if the video is public, archived, or needs an update.

This server touches core account metadata. Specifically, it interacts with user information retrieved via `get_me` and various asset details like video titles, descriptions, and folder structures.

You initiate the deletion plan. The MCP Server executes the `delete_video` tool, removing the specified asset from your Vimeo account. It's a direct action that requires clear instruction.
