Check Project Status

Need to know what’s up with a specific Wistia asset? Use `get_project_details` to fetch all the metadata for any project. This gives you details like creation dates and assigned owners, letting your agent confirm if a project is ready for review. You can also quickly use `list_projects` to see every single project associated with your account. It’s perfect for when you just need an inventory list before writing code or starting a conversation.

Review Video Performance

Want the hard numbers on video performance? Your agent can call `get_video_stats` to pull account-wide analytics for any given piece of media. This returns metrics like views and engagement rates, letting you understand exactly how a video is performing right now. If you need to update what people see about a video, run `update_video_details`. You'll modify the metadata directly through Claude Desktop without logging into another dashboard.

Handle Media Listings

Start by using `list_videos` when you need a full manifest of your media assets. This action gives you a list of every video uploaded to Wistia, making it easy to scope out what needs attention. For captions specifically, the tool `list_video_captions` lets you gather all the available caption tracks for a selected video. You get a clean list that you can use immediately in your local workflow.
