What is the Cloudflare Stream MCP Server?
Connect your Cloudflare Stream account to any AI agent to manage your video delivery and live streaming workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Video Management — List all videos in your account, fetch specific metadata, and filter by status (ready, in-progress, error) or type (vod, live).
- Live Streaming — Create and manage live inputs, configure recording options, and list simulcast outputs for platforms like YouTube or Twitch.
- Content Editing — Update video metadata, set allowed origins for security, and schedule automatic deletions.
- Upload Workflows — Initiate video uploads using the TUS protocol with custom metadata and size specifications.
- Deletion Control — Permanently remove videos or live inputs when they are no longer needed.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Cloudflare Account ID and API Token
- Start managing your video library and live streams from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Content Creators & Media Teams — quickly check video statuses and manage metadata without leaving the chat interface.
- Developers — integrate video upload and management logic into coding workflows or automated agents.
- Live Streamers — monitor live inputs and configure simulcast destinations on the fly.

Why CrewAI?
When paired with CrewAI, Cloudflare Stream becomes a first-class tool in your multi-agent workflows. Each agent in the crew can call Cloudflare Stream tools autonomously, one agent queries data, another analyzes results, a third compiles reports, all orchestrated through Vinkius with zero configuration overhead.
- —
Multi-agent collaboration lets you decompose complex workflows into specialized roles, one agent researches, another analyzes, a third generates reports, each with access to MCP tools
- —
CrewAI's native MCP integration requires zero adapter code: pass Vinkius Edge URL directly in the
mcpsparameter and agents auto-discover every available tool at runtime - —
Built-in task delegation and shared memory mean agents can pass context between steps without manual state management, enabling multi-hop reasoning across tool calls
- —
Sequential and hierarchical crew patterns map naturally to real-world workflows: enumerate subdomains → analyze DNS history → check WHOIS records → compile findings into actionable reports

Frequently asked questions
Can I filter my video list to see only videos that are ready to watch?
Yes! Use the list_videos tool and set the status parameter to 'ready'. You can also filter by type (vod or live) and search for specific names.
How do I create a new live streaming endpoint?
You can use the create_live_input tool. You can optionally provide metadata like a stream name and configure whether the stream should be automatically recorded.
Is it possible to update the metadata of an existing video?
Absolutely. Use the edit_video tool with the video's identifier. You can update the meta object, change allowedOrigins, or toggle requireSignedURLs.
How does CrewAI discover and connect to MCP tools?
CrewAI connects to MCP servers lazily. when the crew starts, each agent resolves its MCP URLs and fetches the tool catalog via the standard tools/list method. This means tools are always fresh and reflect the server's current capabilities. No tool schemas need to be hardcoded.
Can different agents in the same crew use different MCP servers?
Yes. Each agent has its own mcps list, so you can assign specific servers to specific roles. For example, a reconnaissance agent might use a domain intelligence server while an analysis agent uses a vulnerability database server.
What happens when an MCP tool call fails during a crew run?
CrewAI wraps tool failures as context for the agent. The LLM receives the error message and can decide to retry with different parameters, fall back to a different tool, or mark the task as partially complete. This resilience is critical for production workflows.
Can CrewAI agents call multiple MCP tools in parallel?
CrewAI agents execute tool calls sequentially within a single reasoning step. However, you can run multiple agents in parallel using process=Process.parallel, each calling different MCP tools concurrently. This is ideal for workflows where separate data sources need to be queried simultaneously.
Can I run CrewAI crews on a schedule (cron)?
Yes. CrewAI crews are standard Python scripts, so you can invoke them via cron, Airflow, Celery, or any task scheduler. The crew.kickoff() method runs synchronously by default, making it straightforward to integrate into existing pipelines.
MCP tools not discovered
Ensure the Edge URL is correct. CrewAI connects lazily when the crew starts. check console output.
Agent not using tools
Make the task description specific. Instead of "do something", say "Use the available tools to list contacts".
Timeout errors
CrewAI has a 10s connection timeout by default. Ensure your network can reach the Edge URL.
Rate limiting or 429 errors
Vinkius enforces per-token rate limits. Check your subscription tier and request quota in the dashboard. Upgrade if you need higher throughput.
