--- title: "Mux Video MCP server for AI agents - actionlake" description: "Give Claude 153 Mux Video actions through one MCP server: video, data, robots, system. Your agent never holds the credential. 100,000 calls a month free." canonical: https://actionlake.com/connectors/mux-video updated: 2026-10-23 --- Connectors · Marketing & media # 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. [Connect Mux Video free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing) 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. `claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp` the first call ``` do { action: "mux.incidents.list", intent: "check which Mux Video account is connected" } # List Incidents · read · 1 upstream call ``` - 153 actions in one signed file - 87 read look, never change - 45 write create and update - 21 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first 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_id` Mux access token ID - `token_secret` Mux 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 call check { action: "mux.webhooks.create", input: { … } } # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent ``` Mux Video at a glance **Sign-in** Username and secret.

These are all of them: - Delete a webhook `mux.webhooks.delete` - Delete an asset `mux.assets.delete` - Delete a signing key `mux.signing_keys.delete` - Delete Annotation `mux.annotations.delete` - Delete asset shots `mux.asset_shots.delete` - Delete an asset track `mux.asset_tracks.delete` - Delete a live stream `mux.live_streams.delete` - Signal a live stream is finished `mux.live_streams.complete` - Delete a directive `mux.robots_directives.delete` - Delete a playback ID `mux.asset_playback_ids.delete` - Delete a URL signing key `mux.video_signing_keys.delete` - Unset the thumbnail time for an asset `mux.asset_thumbnail_time.delete` - Delete a Playback Restriction `mux.playback_restrictions.delete` - Reset a live stream's stream key `mux.live_streams.reset_stream_key` - Delete a single static rendition for an asset `mux.asset_static_renditions.delete` - Delete a live stream playback ID `mux.live_stream_playback_ids.delete` - Delete a Transcription Vocabulary `mux.transcription_vocabularies.delete` - Delete a live stream simulcast target `mux.live_stream_simulcast_targets.delete` - Delete a live stream's static renditions setting for new assets `mux.live_stream_static_renditions.delete` - Cancel a direct upload `mux.uploads.cancel` - Cancel a job `mux.robots_jobs.cancel` 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. do mux.webhooks.delete confirm_policy: **human** Delete a webhook? **intent:** the user asked me to delete a webhook run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _mux-agent_ cannot confirm itself In the console, or from an emailed signed link. a key for this connector ``` account { op: "keys.create", name: "mux-agent", allowed_actions: ["mux.*"], cap_calls: 2000, confirm_policy: "human_for_writes", approval_rules: [ { match: "mux.webhooks.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "mux.assets.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }, { match: "mux.signing_keys.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" } ] } ``` Illustrative.

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. ## More connectors like Mux Video Shares the most action names with - [Vimeo 10](https://actionlake.com/connectors/vimeo) - [SurveyMonkey 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/surveymonkey) - [Crowdin 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/crowdin) - [Optimizely Web Experimentation 6](https://actionlake.com/connectors/optimizely-web-experimentation) - [Meta Facebook Pages 5](https://actionlake.com/connectors/meta-facebook-pages) - [Typeform 4](https://actionlake.com/connectors/typeform) Joins with, on shared entities - [Dynatrace 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/dynatrace) - [Rootly 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/rootly) - [Datadog 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/datadog) - [Google Security Operations 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/google-security-operations) - [FireHydrant 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/firehydrant) - [PagerDuty 1](https://actionlake.com/connectors/pagerduty) Browse - [All Marketing & media connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors/category/marketing-and-media) - [All connectors](https://actionlake.com/connectors) - [How actionlake compares](https://actionlake.com/compare) actionlake is independent.
