Wistia MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Wistia and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 167 Wistia actions (85 reads, 63 writes and 19 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Wistia credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Wistia'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 Wistia 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 Wistia.

    API key. 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.

    • api_tokenWistia API access token (Account > Settings > API Access; grant the permissions the actions need)
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "wistia" }
# 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.

The Wistia API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 3 of Wistia's 3 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Governance for Wistia

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

19 Wistia actions are destructive. These are all of them:

  • Delete Tagwistia.tags.delete
  • Delete Brandwistia.brands.delete
  • Delete Mediawistia.medias.delete
  • Delete Folderwistia.folders.delete
  • Delete Channelwistia.channels.delete
  • Delete Webinarwistia.webinars.delete

  • Bulk Delete Subfolderswistia.folders.subfolders.bulk_delete

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 Wistia costs on actionlake.

Every Wistia action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Wistia 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 Wistia MCP server, answered.

Is there a Wistia MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 167 Wistia actions across medias, analytics, folders and channels, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Wistia.

What do I need to connect Wistia?

Wistia API access token (Account > Settings > API Access; grant the permissions the actions need). The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "wistia" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Wistia?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 19 Wistia actions are destructive, including delete Tag, delete Brand and delete Media. 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 Wistia API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Wistia service file: 600 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (84 Wistia actions can be), which never reaches Wistia.

What does a Wistia action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (167 Wistia actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Wistia 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 Wistia API does it cover?

The Wistia Data API 2026-09 (api.wistia.com/modern) at api.wistia.com. It is built from Wistia's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 167 actions in 31 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Wistia data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to an hour, 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 Wistia 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.
