About Vimeo MCP Server
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire video ecosystem on Vimeo, the world's most innovative video platform. By connecting Vimeo to your agent, you transform complex asset management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list your videos, audit project folders, and retrieve performance stats without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are a professional filmmaker or a corporate communications lead, your agent acts as a real-time video operator, ensuring your content is always organized and accessible.
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Vimeo tool calls autonomously — query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste the Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 10 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.
What you can do
- Video Auditing — List all videos in your account and retrieve detailed metadata, including duration, plays, and privacy settings.
- Folder Oversight — Browse your project folders to maintain a clear view of your content organization.
- Showcase Management — List all showcases (albums) and channels to monitor your public video distribution.
- Video Governance — Update video titles, descriptions, and autonomously delete items when they are no longer needed.
- Search Intelligence — Query public videos across Vimeo to find inspiration or relevant community content.
