Uscreen MCP tools

MCP tool uscreen_list_videos

Returns videos with their publication status, categories and, for scheduled videos, the release date. A video that is still processing is marked as such. Uscreen processes a new upload for 10 minutes to 72 hours. Videos without a category are listed but stay out of the catalog.

MCP tool uscreen_get_video

Returns the details shown on the video page in Uscreen. If the video is scheduled, it includes the release date and whether it shows as Coming Soon. It also lists the collections that contain the video, because one video can sit in several.

MCP tool uscreen_get_collection

Returns the playlist in the order viewers see it, with section dividers and the drip delay of each video. It also returns the collection access, gated or free, because drip only works on gated collections.

  },
  "isError": false

MCP tool uscreen_list_live_events

Returns each live event with its start time, streaming method (Live Studio, RTMP or Zoom), publication status and whether preregistration is on. It never returns a stream key; create_live_event does that once.

Parameters

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_list_live_events",

  },
  "isError": false
}

MCP tool uscreen_get_content_analytics

Returns the totals for the period and one row per item, most views first, matching the Content Analytics reports in Uscreen. Video rows include viewers, watch time and completion rate. Live event rows include preregistered, attendees and replays. Offline viewing is not tracked by Uscreen, so it is not counted.

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_get_content_analytics",

MCP tool uscreen_list_community_channels

Returns every channel the signed-in admin can see, including private ones. Channel names are lowercase, with hyphens or underscores instead of spaces. The default general channel is always public.

Parameters

No parameters.

tools/call

  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_list_community_channels",
    "arguments": {}
  }
}

      "type": "text",
      "text": "{ ... same JSON as structuredContent ... }"
    }
  ],
  "structuredContent": {

        "channel_id": "ch_general",

        "visibility": "public"
      }
    ]
  },
  "isError": false
}

MCP tool uscreen_upload_video

Cotlet downloads the file and uploads it to Content > Videos, then sets the video to Unpublished. Uscreen then transcodes it, which takes 10 minutes to 72 hours depending on size, bit rate and format; the response says processing until it is ready. Files over 8 Mbps or outside MP4 with H.264 can cause playback problems or slow processing. It reaches no one, because the video stays unpublished until publish_video, so it runs without asking.

Parameters

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_upload_video",
    "arguments": {
      "file_url": "https://example.com",
      "title": "title"
    }
  }
}

Example response

{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "{ ... same JSON as structuredContent ... }"
    }
  ],
  "structuredContent": {
    "video_id": "2390417",
    "title": "Mobility Basics 1: Ankles",
    "status": "unpublished",
    "processing": true,
    "category_ids": [
      "48211"
    ]
  },
  "isError": false
}

MCP tool uscreen_update_video

Changes only the fields you send and returns the previous values, so one more call restores them. Tags replace the whole tag list. A published video shows the new text to members at once. It runs without asking because it sends nothing to anyone and one call undoes it.

Parameters

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_update_video",
    "arguments": {
      "video_id": "video_8c41d2",
      "fields": "fields"
    }
  }
}

Example response

{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "{ ... same JSON as structuredContent ... }"
    }
  ],
  "structuredContent": {
    "video_id": "2390417",
    "updated": [
      "title",
      "tags"
    ],
    "previous": {
      "title": "Ankles",
      "tags": [
        "mobility"
      ]
    }
  },
  "isError": false
}

MCP tool uscreen_publish_video

Sets Visibility to Published, or to Scheduled when release_at is given. Uscreen releases at the time in your store time zone (Settings > General), so Cotlet converts the offset you send. The video needs a category to appear in the catalog, and it stays out of the catalog until Uscreen finishes processing it. With send_email, the broadcast reaches every member with access. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

Parameters

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_publish_video",
    "arguments": {
      "video_id": "2390417",
      "release_at": "2026-11-02T07:00:00-05:00",
      "send_email": true,
      "show_coming_soon": true
    }
  }
}

Example response

{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "{ ... same JSON as structuredContent ... }"
    }
  ],
  "structuredContent": {
    "video_id": "2390417",
    "status": "scheduled",
    "release_at": "2026-11-02T07:00:00-05:00",
    "show_coming_soon": true,
    "send_email": true
  },
  "isError": false
}

MCP tool uscreen_create_collection

Creates the collection in Content > Collections and adds the videos to its playlist. It stays unpublished, so it reaches no one, and it runs without asking; publish it in Uscreen when it is ready. Uscreen advises keeping a collection under 50 videos. Pricing and access keep their defaults, so check them before you publish.

Parameters

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_create_collection",
    "arguments": {
      "title": "title"
    }
  }
}

Example response

{
  "content": [
    {
      "type": "text",
      "text": "{ ... same JSON as structuredContent ... }"
    }
  ],
  "structuredContent": {
    "collection_id": "118204",
    "title": "Mobility Basics",
    "status": "unpublished",
    "video_count": 2,
    "category_ids": [
      "48211"
    ]
  },
  "isError": false
}

MCP tool uscreen_set_collection_playlist

Replaces the whole playlist with the order you send and returns the previous one, so one more call restores it. Drip delays are days after a viewer first opens the collection, and Uscreen unlocks each video about every 2 hours after that delay. It is rejected if drip_days is set on a collection with free access. It runs without asking because members only see a change once the collection is published.

Parameters

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_set_collection_playlist",
    "arguments": {
      "collection_id": "118204",
      "items": [
        {
          "divider": "Week 1"
        },
        {
          "video_id": "2390417",
          "drip_days": 0
        },
        {
          "divider": "Week 2"
        },
        {
          "video_id": "2390418",
          "drip_days": 7
        }
      ]
    }

    "status": "unpublished",
    "access": "gated",
    "playlist_items": 4,
    "videos": 2,
    "dividers": 2
  },
  "isError": false
}

MCP tool uscreen_create_live_event

Creates the event in Content > Live Streaming. For rtmp the response includes the stream URL and the stream key once; paste both into OBS or similar software, and keep the key private. Live Studio and RTMP events count against your plan's live streaming hours. Purchase and access options stay at their defaults, so check them before the event. Published events are visible to members, and with preregistration on, the event shows a countdown. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

Parameters

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "uscreen_create_live_event",

      "live_chat": true,
      "preregistration": true,

    }
  }
}

Example response

      "text": "{ ... same JSON as structuredContent ... }"
    }

    "stream_key": "sk_example_4f9a21"
  },
  "isError": false
}

MCP tool uscreen_create_coupon

Creates the coupon in Marketing > Coupons. The code and the discount cannot be changed afterwards; a wrong code means deleting the coupon and creating a new one. The expiry only stops new redemptions and leaves discounts already applied. It changes what members pay, so it asks first. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

Parameters

tools/call

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",

}

MCP tool uscreen_create_community_post

Posts from your admin account in the channel you name, now or scheduled. Members who can see the channel see it in the feed. Large images can take a while and may time out after about a minute. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
