Reviewing media assets shouldn't mean opening five different tabs.
Right now, getting project feedback is a nightmare. You open the main asset folder, download the file to review it locally, then switch over to the dedicated project management board just to see if the client left a comment on version 3. You end up copy-pasting notes between three different screens.
With this MCP server, you ask your agent for the status report. It runs `get_project_comments` and pulls all annotations—from the asset library, the project board, and any associated metadata—and gives it to you in one clean output.
Simian MCP Server: Manage media assets and projects from chat.
Manually creating a new reel is tedious. You have to compile the video, export the file, upload it somewhere else, and then wait for confirmation of the successful upload path.
Now, you simply call `create_reel`. The server handles the internal generation process, gives you an ID, and allows your agent to track its status until it's ready to be shared via `share_reel`.
What your AI can actually do with this
Look, this Simian MCP Server connects your AI agent right into a full-blown video collaboration stack. It lets you manage all your creative assets—from initial discovery through final client approval—without ever leaving the chat window. You're talking about retrieving media metadata, listing active projects, building new reels, and coordinating review feedback with zero hassle.
To start, if you need to take a look at what media you’ve got sitting around, you can use list_media to pull up a comprehensive list of every single file in your asset library. You also can check out the specific details on any given piece using get_media, which pulls detailed metadata for a specific identifier.
If you're done with a piece and need to wipe it off the books, delete_media permanently removes that selected file from both your media library and any project assets.
When it comes to projects and reviews, you wanna know what’s moving? You run list_projects to get a roster of every active project currently waiting on review or approval. For deep dives into feedback, you use get_project_comments, which pulls all the comments, annotations, and specific feedback tied to a named project file.
If you need to add your own thoughts—whether it's just a comment or setting an official 'approved' status—you hit up add_project_comment. Finally, if you gotta know how far along a reel is, get_reel pulls all the complete details and analytics for that existing presentation.
For building out content, generating video presentations (reels) is straightforward. You use create_reel to generate a brand-new video presentation within the platform. Once it's done, you can see what other reels exist using list_reels, or grab all the specifics on an existing one with get_reel. If that reel needs to go out? You run share_reel; this sends the reel directly to specific people via email or spits out a shareable short link.
When you modify the basic info on a file—like changing the description or adding new tags to media—you use update_media.
To keep your system running smoothly, you've got tools for managing operations. You pull up current usage limits and billing stats by calling get_account_info. These core functions mean your agent can handle everything from checking asset status and modifying metadata, to coordinating project reviews and generating finished content.
019dd15d-c43b-72ad-a58f-2a0f8ff75745 Here's how it actually works
The bottom line is, your agent runs video ops and asset management commands directly against Simian's backend using plain conversation.
You prompt your agent with a specific request (e.g., 'Get all comments on project XYZ').
The agent identifies the necessary tool—for example, get_project_comments—and sends it to the Simian MCP Server.
The server executes the function and returns structured data (like comment lists or media links) back through the chat interface.
Who is this actually for?
Creative Directors who get frustrated with switching between MAM tools, project trackers, and review platforms. Marketing Operations Managers tired of manual data pulls on campaign performance. Video Editors needing to rapidly check file versions or add feedback notes before a client meeting.
Uses list_media to find the correct version of an asset and then calls add_project_comment to log initial review status for the campaign.
Runs a workflow to get all necessary feedback by calling get_project_comments across multiple projects, compiling the notes before client sign-off.
Checks account usage stats with get_account_info and uses list_projects to ensure all current campaigns have open review cycles.
What Changes When You Connect
Stop juggling tabs. Instead of logging into the MAM, then the project tracker, and finally opening a comment thread, you can ask your agent to get_project_comments immediately. All feedback surfaces in one place.
Streamline asset cleanup. Use list_media to audit every file in your library before calling delete_media. You'll know exactly what you're permanently removing.
Speed up presentations. Instead of manually exporting and emailing a draft, call create_reel or use get_reel to analyze performance data right after launch.
Keep track of approvals. Use list_projects to see which campaigns are stuck in review limbo. Then, invite the necessary parties using the chat interface.
Avoid stale metadata. If a client re-uploads an asset but forgets to update the tags, use update_media so your internal search always points to the right version.
See it in action
The Client Review Cycle is Stuck
A project stalled because no one knows who needs to sign off. The agent first runs list_projects to identify the specific campaign ID, then uses get_project_comments to see the last recorded feedback. Finally, it sends a reminder email via the chat interface.
Audit and Clean Up Assets
You need to know what files are old and unused. The agent calls list_media, filters out assets older than 90 days, and reports them back to you. You then use delete_media on the confirmed list.
Analyze a Campaign Performance
A new video dropped last week. The agent calls get_reel to fetch its analytics (views, watch time). It summarizes this data and then automatically shares the performance summary with the client contact via share_reel.
Updating an Asset's Story
A video was shot last year but needs new tags. Instead of manually finding the file in three different folders, you tell your agent to use get_media first for verification, then call update_media with the correct descriptive metadata.
The honest tradeoffs
Using Email/Forms for Feedback
Having reviewers email comments or fill out a spreadsheet that gets disconnected from the actual asset file. This requires manual data merging and is always late.
Run get_project_comments to pull all feedback directly linked to the project ID. Use add_project_comment when you need to log your own status or final approval.
Searching by Keyword Only
Using a search bar that only finds assets with matching filenames, missing critical context like version number or client ID.
Always start by calling get_media using the asset's unique metadata identifier. This provides full context before you attempt any action.
Manually Sharing Files
Having to download a reel, attach it to an email, and manually copy/paste the link into a separate chat platform.
Use share_reel. This single tool handles generating secure links or sending direct emails without leaving your current workspace.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
You should use Simian if your core pain point is coordinating feedback and managing the lifecycle of visual assets (video, images). Specifically, if you need to move from 'asset discovery' -> 'review cycle' -> 'final distribution', this server handles it. Don't use Simian if you only manage raw source code or abstract data structures; for that, a dedicated database connector is better. If your goal is just basic file storage without review workflows, simpler cloud asset managers suffice. But if the process requires structured comments (get_project_comments), status updates (add_project_comment), and versioning, Simian is the right fit.
Questions you might have
How do I check if a project is active using list_projects? +
You run the list_projects tool. This returns a comprehensive list of all projects currently marked as 'active' or needing review, so you know exactly where your team needs to focus.
Can I get metadata for a file using get_media? +
Yes, get_media pulls deep details on any media file. You can retrieve everything from the creation date and original resolution to custom tags and usage counts.
What is the best way to share a finished reel? Should I use share_reel? +
Yes, share_reel is the dedicated tool. It handles generating secure links or sending direct emails with the correct file attachment and tracking metadata.
How do I add comments to an asset using add_project_comment? +
You call add_project_comment and specify the project ID. This lets you log your specific feedback or mark an item as 'approved' directly against that asset record.
What should I expect when using the `get_reel` tool with an expired or non-existent Reel ID? +
The system will return a 404 error status code. This means you must verify that the provided Reel ID is current and belongs to an active asset before calling the function.
Does the `list_media` tool support pagination so I can retrieve every file in the library? +
Yes, it supports pagination. You must pass the appropriate cursor or page number parameter when listing files to cycle through all available results.
Is the action performed by `delete_media` permanent, or is there a soft-delete option? +
The operation is irreversible. When you execute delete_media, the file is permanently removed from the library and cannot be recovered.
Where can I check my API usage and potential rate limits using `get_account_info`? +
The tool returns your current usage statistics and remaining quota in the account details. This lets you track consumption and avoid hitting service limits proactively.
Can I get the review link for a specific video project? +
Yes, just ask the agent for the presentation link of your project and it will fetch it securely.
How do I check engagement analytics on my shared reel? +
You can query the AI to summarize view counts, average watch times, and comments left by clients on your reel.
Is it possible to invite a reviewer via the chat? +
Yes! Provide the reviewer's email and the project ID, and the agent will dispatch a secure invite link.
