Short answer

How can I manage my Cloudflare Stream videos with AI?

Your AI client uses Cloudflare Stream tools to pull your current storage totals and list every video in your library. You can then ask it to remove specific files or check details on individual assets. This gives you a direct way to audit your media footprint without opening the dashboard.

Where every action lands.

Storage and asset management outcomes

Your AI handles the data retrieval and execution based on your requests.

AUDIT

Storage usage reports

The AI pulls your current storage metrics. You get a clear view of how much space your videos are taking up.

INVENTORY

Video asset lists

Your agent scans your library to show you what's hosted. You can see exactly what is currently in your Cloudflare Stream account.

CLEANUP

Targeted video removal

When you identify old or unwanted files, the AI executes the deletion. This keeps your library clean and your storage costs predictable.

REVIEW

Human-led verification

The AI identifies which videos are candidates for deletion. You decide which ones to actually remove to prevent accidental loss.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for updates.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and your Cloudflare Stream account.

  1. Check capacity

    The AI looks up your current storage footprint to see how much space remains.

    get_storage_usage

  2. Scan library

    Your agent pulls a full list of all video files currently in your account.

    list_videos

  3. Inspect files

    If you need specifics on a single file, the AI fetches its individual metadata.

    get_video

  4. Remove assets

    When you confirm a file is no longer needed, the AI removes it from your storage.

    delete_video

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI delete videos automatically?

    No. The AI can execute a deletion command, but it is designed to wait for your explicit instruction before removing any assets.

  • 02

    Can I use this to upload new videos?

    No. This MCP is built for monitoring and managing existing assets, not for uploading new content.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my billing information?

    No. The AI only has access to the tools provided, which are limited to video metadata and storage usage.

  • 04

    Can the AI change my Cloudflare account settings?

    No. The AI can only interact with video assets and storage metrics through the specific tools provided.

  • 05

    How does the AI know which video to delete?

    You tell the AI the name or the ID of the video, and it uses that information to target the correct file.
