Tools 19 found in our last check
get_account_statusStart here. Returns who the account is, its subscription tier and limits, how much weekly upload/stream quota is used and remaining, and every channel the owner has with its ready-asset count and what it still needs to go live (launchGaps). Call this before creating anything so…
list_channelsList the channels owned by this account.
get_channelGet one channel by id. Includes scheduleStatus (inactive | pending | active | error) — poll this to confirm a channel has gone live — plus watchUrl, launchedAt and isArchived.
check_handle_availableCheck whether a channel handle is free before trying to create it. The handle becomes the subdomain: {handle}.my-tv-channel.com. 3-63 chars, lowercase a-z, 0-9 and hyphens.
create_channelCreate a 24/7 linear TV channel. It will NOT be live yet — a channel goes live automatically once it has at least 4 ready assets AND at least 15 minutes of total content. is_public lists it in Discover and is available on every subscription tier, including Starter.
update_channelUpdate an existing channel: name, description, visibility, category, language, age rating, or the community chat link. Only send the fields you are changing.
archive_channelTake a channel off the air and out of every listing. This ARCHIVES rather than destroys: the handle stays reserved and assets and schedule history are retained, so it can be restored. Refuses with 409 while transcodes are still running. Idempotent. This is the reversible way to…
import_video_from_urlAdd a video to a channel from a direct media URL. THIS IS THE MAIN WAY TO ADD CONTENT over MCP — you cannot upload local file bytes through this interface, so if the owner has local files, ask them to host them somewhere reachable or upload via the app. The URL must be a direct,…
import_youtube_videoImport a YouTube video that the OWNER UPLOADED THEMSELVES. This will not work for anyone else's video, by design — a channel built from other people's videos is a copyright problem for the owner. Ownership is proved by a tag only the uploader can add: 1. The owner's tag looks li…
list_assetsList the videos on a channel.
get_transcode_statusPoll transcode progress. Give either channel_id (all its videos) or asset_id (one). Each asset reports uploadStatus (downloading -> pending -> transcoding -> ready) and the summary tells you when meetsLaunchRequirements becomes true: 4+ ready assets AND 900+ seconds. Poll every…
set_asset_weightChange how often a video plays (weight 0-10, default 5; 0 removes it from rotation entirely), and optionally its title or tags. IMPORTANT ORDERING: weights only affect what actually airs when the schedule is (re)generated. A channel builds its schedule the instant it crosses the…
delete_assetRemove a video from a channel. Soft delete — it stops being scheduled immediately and the schedule regenerates automatically. Idempotent. The asset is retained and stops being scheduled; it is not erased. Affects one video — archive_channel takes a whole channel off the air.
retry_transcodeRe-queue a video whose transcode failed. Only works on assets in a failed state.
regenerate_scheduleRebuild the channel's schedule now using the current weights. Call this after changing weights on a channel that is ALREADY live, otherwise the change will not air until the hourly cron. Throttled to one call per channel per 5 minutes; exceeding that returns 429 with a Retry-Aft…
get_scheduleRead the channel's EPG — what is playing and what is coming up. Note this one returns a plain array of entries (unlike other tools, which return an object).
get_schedule_rulesRead the channel's declarative schedule rules (fixed time slots and dayparts), plus its scheduling mode and timezone.
validate_schedule_rulesDRY-RUN a ruleset. Saves nothing. Returns {valid, errors, warnings, preview} where preview is a simulated 24h grid of what would actually air. Intended as the dry run for set_schedule_rules: rules are wall-clock, slots start on-or-after their time, and dayparts reweight the rand…
set_schedule_rulesGive the channel a durable schedule: fixed slots ("news at 18:00") and dayparts ("no kids content after 22:00"). The scheduler re-honours these on EVERY rebuild, so you set them once instead of babysitting the grid. **Pro tier or higher.** This REPLACES the entire ruleset — send…
