Frequently asked questions
Can I get direct download links for my videos through the agent?
Yes. The get_video_source_files tool allows your agent to retrieve direct MP4 download links and stream URLs for different qualities (like 720p or 1080p), making it easy to share raw files or use them in other applications.
How do I add a video to a specific player?
Use the attach_video_to_player tool. You'll need to provide the player_id and the video_id. Your agent can help you find these IDs by listing your players and videos first.
Can I create new video players through conversation?
Absolutely. The create_empty_player tool lets you provision a new player container with a descriptive name. Once created, you can attach videos to it and manage its settings directly through your agent.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
