Available tools 15

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

apivideo
apivideo_create_live_stream
WRITE. Create a new live stream, returning a stream key and RTMP ingest URL to broadcast to. POST /live-streams.
apivideo_create_video
WRITE. Create a new video object. If `source` (a public video URL) is provided, api.video ingests the video from that URL — recommended for hosted use, since raw file bytes cannot stream through MCP. POST /videos.
apivideo_delete_video
WRITE. Permanently DELETE a video and all its assets. This cannot be undone. DELETE /videos/{videoId}.
apivideo_get_live_stream
Get a single live stream object by id (stream key, RTMP ingest, player URL). Read-only. GET /live-streams/{liveStreamId}.
apivideo_get_live_stream_analytics
Aggregated play analytics for live streams over a date range, grouped by a dimension. Read-only. GET /analytics/live-streams/plays.
apivideo_get_video
Get a single video object by id (title, assets, player URL, status flags). Read-only. GET /videos/{videoId}.

Apivideo — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Apivideo do?
It exposes 15 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: apivideo_create_live_stream, apivideo_create_video, apivideo_delete_video, apivideo_get_live_stream, apivideo_get_live_stream_analytics, apivideo_get_video and 9 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Apivideo working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 25 of 91 checks got a reply (27.5%), average response time 180 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Apivideo as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Apivideo?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Apivideo need an API key?
No. Apivideo completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 15 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Apivideo?
It answers our handshake in 180 ms on average, which is faster than 67% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Apivideo open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
