Bring Media Encoding
to VS Code Copilot
Create your Vinkius account to connect Transloadit to VS Code Copilot and start using all 10 AI tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code. No hosting, no server setup — just connect and start using.
Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Transloadit MCP Server?
Transform your AI agent into a full-scale media orchestration engine by connecting it to your Transloadit application. Eliminate complicated dashboards and rely entirely upon conversational instructions to launch, monitor, or abort heavy "Assemblies" (media jobs), track operational bills, and register scalable JSON templates without manual interactions.
What you can do
- Assembly Execution — Feed a JSON steps configuration directly into your agent to prompt complex file encodings, resizing jobs, or transmutations natively
- Live Monitoring — Interrogate the agent to retrieve exact results, completion statuses, or outputs parameters for any active or past processing task (Assembly)
- Template Management — Build reusable encoding architectures (Templates) through chat instructions, list available pipelines, or delete deprecated presets
- Error Recovery — Immediately command the AI to cancel heavily hung/unnecessary processing batches or instruct a strict "job replay" to re-attempt a failed cycle
- Resource Tracking — Access your precise billing usage and operational costs per specific month natively without hunting reports on the dashboard
How it works
- Attach this specialized component to your current AI runtime
- Provide both your distinct Transloadit Auth Key and Secret
- Start communicating to orchestrate large media transcoding instructions natively
Who is this for?
- Media Developers — Construct JSON encoding pipelines dynamically using natural language and inject them efficiently to their environment
- Content Engineers — Track progress metrics or selectively replay media items that corrupted during manual upload procedures
- Technical Leaders — Verify the overall usage of external media APIs auditing operational expenses explicitly by requested month

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Transloadit data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find my Auth Key and Auth Secret credentials?
Navigate directly directly to the Transloadit web frontend. Open your Account settings. On the sidebar, click on Credentials. You will spot your public Auth Key directly exposed, and right next to it the option to reveal your Auth Secret. Both strings are required parameters here.
Does `cancel_assembly` action cost money if triggered early?
Yes, absolutely. Halting an assembly stops Transloadit servers from expending gigabytes processing irrelevant files immediately. Consequently, acting rapidly prevents unnecessary overuse charges and quotas from draining. Use it when observing logical JSON mistakes.
Do I need Signature Authentication for Transloadit?
Yes. For production environments, it is strongly recommended to use Signature Authentication to prevent unauthorized use. Your Transloadit MCP integration handles this internally using the provided Auth Secret to sign requests securely.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
