Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

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 — 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 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 178 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
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 178 ms on average, which is faster than 70% 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.
