Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

A futuristic MCP client docking bay
V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Automate a task

Put Edgio to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Edgio works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Edgio to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 17 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Edgio, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Edgio. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Edgio owners ask.

  • 01

    What is the difference between Limelight and Edgio?

    Edgio is the current entity that includes the former Limelight Networks and Uplynk services. This MCP supports the Edgio ecosystem.

  • 02

    Do I need to host the MCP myself?

    No. Vinkius hosts and manages the MCP for you. You just connect your client and start using the capabilities.

  • 03

    Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

    You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf.

  • 04

    Can I manage live events with this capability?

    Yes. You can use capabilities to create, start, and stop live events with precise signaling.

  • 05

    How do I handle ad insertion?

    You can use the initialize_preplay_session capability to set up playback sessions that support SSAI.

  • 06

    How do I generate a playback URL for a specific video asset?

    You should use the initialize_preplay_session capability with the Asset ID. This will return a session-based playback URL (HLS or DASH) including metadata for SSAI and security.

  • 07

    Can I start and stop live broadcasts using this server?

    Yes. Use start_event to signal the beginning of a live stream and stop_event to end it. You can also use create_event to schedule new broadcasts.

  • 08

    Is it possible to update video metadata like titles or tags?

    Absolutely. The update_asset capability allows you to modify metadata fields for any existing VOD asset by providing its ID and the new JSON metadata.
