Why people use Edgio

Limelight Networks for Efficient Video Asset Management

This Connector changes that by letting you talk to your library like a person. You can just tell your AI client to update the metadata for a specific set of videos or list everything you have in one go. You get your work done in seconds instead of minutes.

What Vinkius changes

You get direct control over your video streaming infrastructure without clicking through a web dashboard.

Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect

Questions about Edgio.

The practical details behind the request, access and result.

What can I do with the Limelight Networks MCP?

You can use your AI client to manage your entire video streaming workflow. This includes listing and updating VOD assets, managing linear channel schedules, and triggering live event signals without needing to log into a dashboard.

How does the Limelight Networks MCP help with live streaming?

It gives you direct control over live broadcast signals. You can ask your agent to start or stop events instantly, ensuring your streams go live on time and shut down correctly.

Can I use the Limelight Networks MCP to manage VOD assets?

Yes, you can manage your VOD library through natural language. You can list all assets, retrieve specific metadata, update titles or tags, and delete old content directly through your AI client.

Does the Limelight Networks MCP support SSAI?

Yes, the Connector can initialize secure playback sessions that include Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI). This allows you to get secure manifest URLs with your specific ad configurations ready for playback.

How do I use the Limelight Networks MCP for my Edgio account?

First, subscribe to the Connector on Vinkius. Then, provide your Edgio (formerly Limelight/Uplynk) Owner ID and API Key to your AI client. From there, you can start giving commands for your streaming infrastructure.

Can the Limelight Networks MCP help me find playback logs?

It can. You can ask your agent to list available log files or pull playback reports to see how many views your content is getting and troubleshoot any delivery issues.

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.

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.

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.
