Mux Video MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Mux Video and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 153 Mux Video actions (87 reads, 45 writes and 21 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Mux Video credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Mux Video's limits and records every call.

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

Set up

Connect Mux Video in three steps.

  1. 01

    Add actionlake to Claude.

    Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

    https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp
  2. 02

    Connect Mux Video.

    Username and secret. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

    • token_idMux access token ID
    • token_secretMux access token secret key, shown once when the token is generated
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "mux" }
    # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
  3. 03

    Make the first call. Check before a write.

    Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, check validates the call and prices it, for free.

    do    { action: "mux.incidents.list" }# list incidents · read · 1 upstream callcheck { action: "mux.webhooks.create", input: { … } }# free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent

Capabilities

What an AI agent can do in Mux Video.

153 actions in 4 areas. Every one carries its effect, so a key can allow the reads and hold the rest.

Top actions

The Mux Video API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 18 of Mux Video's 18 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Cost

What Mux Video costs on actionlake.

Every Mux Video action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Mux Video refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Questions

The Mux Video MCP server, answered.

Is there a Mux Video MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 153 Mux Video actions across video, data, robots and system, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Mux Video.

What do I need to connect Mux Video?

Mux access token ID and Mux access token secret key, shown once when the token is generated. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "mux" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Mux Video?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 21 Mux Video actions are destructive, including delete a webhook, delete an asset and delete a signing key. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

Will an AI agent use up my Mux Video API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Mux Video service file: 5 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (77 Mux Video actions can be), which never reaches Mux Video.

What does a Mux Video action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (153 Mux Video actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Mux Video refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Which Mux Video API does it cover?

The Mux API v1 (OpenAPI 3.1.0, 153 operations) at api.mux.com. It is built from Mux Video's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 153 actions in 4 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Mux Video data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Mux Video credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

Which AI clients can use it?

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
