Summarizing & analyzing videos with Mux MCP

[Music] What's going on everybody? How's ship AI for everyone? Good so far. Yeah. All right. Well, welcome. Um, well, my name is Joshua Alons. I am a community engineer at MX. And if you're not familiar with MX, we are the video API for developers. So, the MX MCP server actually brings all of MX's video and data platform capabilities straight to

your favorite AI tools and MCP clients like Cloud Desktop, uh, Cursor, Goose, you name it. So once you set up, you can actually upload videos, manage live streams, and also analyze your videos performance, and access practically all of MX's capabilities straight from natural language using your favorite MCP client. So I'm going to show you a few examples and more importantly these examples are also going to show you how to summarize and analyze videos

uh with our MCP server and a few other AI workflows. So MX actually gives you a zero ops platform that helps you with the APIs, the tooling, the global delivery so that you can ship high quality video features as easily as deploying a web app. So basically as Verscell abstracts away the complexities of deploying web applications, MX also abstracts away the

complexities of video infrastructure for you. So instead of piecing together encoders, DRM, CDNs, or even a video player, you can just call a few APIs and you can easily manage your entire video infrastructure. So we also surface the metrics that matter like rebuffering the errors and this is going to help you improve your viewers experience so you can focus on building your product and not trying to

rebuild an entire video infrastructure. So some use cases that you see for MX are, you know, live streaming platforms or even some of your favorite streaming services like Paramount or Patreon and so forth. So it's more about your uh adding a video infrastructure and not just playback. So, some of the reasons why you may be interested in MX is because you want to be able to ship video features in a few days and not take a few months or even a

year to uh create the video infrastructure that's going to be a able to handle the load that you may be expecting. So, as I mentioned, MX is not just video playback. You know, yeah, you could use MX as a React component and you can bring it into your web application and change the source URL, but it's a lot more than that and more comprehensive. We actually have a uh data platform that can take all their data globally and

actually see your viewers engagement at scale. So, we have a ton of customers like I mentioned that actually not only use the player but primarily use MX data in order to capture the data that matters to them so that they can create the web applications and the experience that they want. But there's a problem. Building your own video infrastructure is super hard. Video is not just content nowadays. It's more of a language and a means of how we express ourselves. Even if you're a person that's not on social media,

you've come across YouTube, Tik Tok, Instagram, Cap Cut, you name it. And video is not just upload and play. This is something that I think is kind of a misconception when you think about adding a video feature to your applications. There are a ton of end-to-end systems problems that you'll come across and you'll be dealing with messy delivery device landscapes also having to constantly change formats and your live streams can fail.
