## What it does

This MCP server exposes 177 tools from Panda Video's API (or 29 core tools via a streamlined endpoint for chat assistants). From within your conversation, search and list videos, rename them, build folders and playlists, import video from URLs, track views and audience retention, generate AI subtitles, upload thumbnails, and adjust player settings.

The server runs on Panda Video's infrastructure—no local installation needed. Point your MCP client to the server URL and authenticate via OAuth or an API key from your Panda Video dashboard. Tools that modify or delete data are marked destructive so your assistant prompts you for confirmation before executing them.

You'll need a Panda Video account; requests are throttled to 60 per minute per account.
