Platform integrations
Video platform MCP servers, CLIs and APIs: official or community?
Which video platforms have an official MCP server, CLI or API, and which only have community connectors. YouTube has official APIs but no MCP server; vidIQ's MCP is vidIQ's, not Google's.

Updates
Recent changes
- Vimeo: Vimeo recommends Pro or above, and Enterprise for best results, but states no required plan.
- Frame.io: New server URL
https://mcp.frame.io/v1/mcp(update setups made before 7 Oct 2026). Frame.io calls it a public beta, so it is listed as official beta. - Canva: The workbook listed no official CLI. Canva publishes
@canva/clifor app development, and its Dev MCP server is separate from the design connector. - Descript: The workbook found no Descript MCP, CLI or verified API. Descript now documents all three.
- YouTube: Uploads from unverified API projects are no longer forced to private. The Data API now has separate daily buckets: 100
videos.insertcalls, 100search.listcalls and 10,000 units for everything else. - vidIQ: No general public vidIQ API found; vidIQ's API keys connect MCP clients and are read-only.
- Premiere Pro: Adobe for Claude launched on 28 Apr 2026 with Premiere video tools; it is a connector and plugin, not a documented MCP server.
- HeyGen: The workbook found no confirmed CLI; HeyGen's skills repository now documents an official CLI installer.
- VEED: The workbook had no confirmed VEED MCP; VEED now documents the Fabric MCP for avatar video and a public API.
- ElevenLabs: The local
elevenlabs-mcpserver is deprecated in favour of the hosted one, and an official CLI is now documented. - ComfyUI: Comfy Org now also publishes
comfy-mcp, a local server with 41 tools, under AGPL-3.0 or a commercial licence. - OpusClip: Not in the 30 Oct 2026 workbook; added from the 2 Nov 2026 research.
