How to Use the Wistia MCP in VS Code Copilot

Q: How do I get Wistia project details using VS Code Copilot?

You ask Copilot to use getprojectdetails. The tool executes, and the agent reads the metadata into your current file. Your team can then write code that depends on these specific project fields.

Q: Can I list videos using Wistia with VS Code Copilot?

Yes. Using listvideos populates a manifest of all video IDs directly into your workspace. This allows team members to build functions that process the entire media library systematically.

Q: Is Wistia account analytics available when using VS Code Copilot?

Yes, getaccountanalytics provides access to system-wide stats. Because this is managed via a team config file (.vscode/mcp.json), every developer has the same reliable source for reporting.

Q: How do I list captions data for Wistia with VS Code Copilot?

You first use listvideos to find a video ID, then run listvideocaptions. The resulting caption array is available for your team's code to process and report on.

Give your whole team Wistia access through VS Code Copilot; manage video assets and analytics from shared configs.

Manage Team Projects

The team can use `list_projects` to get a full inventory of all Wistia projects in the repository. This allows developers to build tools that only operate on approved or active project IDs. If you need to check specific details, running `get_project_details` populates the necessary metadata for your shared code, ensuring everyone works with current information.

Track Account Metrics

For high-level reporting, use `get_account_analytics`. This function gathers account-wide performance stats that are crucial for team dashboards. Since this is committed to the repo via `.vscode/mcp.json`, every developer sees the same source of truth. It provides metrics necessary for building reliable business intelligence tools across your engineering group.

Update and Verify Media

Need to ensure all video records are accurate? Use `update_video_details` to modify metadata like titles or descriptions, committing the changes through the team's shared workflow. The change is immediately available for subsequent code runs. Before writing any logic, you can use `get_video_stats` to verify the current performance numbers, making sure your reported metrics are always correct.
