What is the 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.
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.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Vimeo Access Token?
Create a new app in the Vimeo Developer portal, generate a token with the necessary scopes (public, private, edit, delete), and paste it below.
Can the agent list private videos?
Yes. If your Access Token has the correct scopes, your agent will be able to retrieve both public and private videos from your account.
Is it possible to manage folders via the agent?
Yes. Use the list_folders tool to retrieve all project directories, allowing your agent to audit your content library's structure in real-time.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
