Integration

JW Player integration

JW Player (JWX) Management API v2 manages a video library and its playback setup. An agent can create media from a URL (fetch) or register externally hosted media, update titles, tags and custom params, clip or re-upload media, manage text tracks (captions, chapters), thumbnails and media renditions, build manual, dynamic, search, recommendations, article-matching and watchlist playlists, configure players and advertising schedules, manage tags, MRSS import sources and transcoding configs, and subscribe webhooks to library events. Live channels, Broadcast Live streams, ingest points and stream secrets, DRM, SSAI, app configs, protection rules and player logo or bidding configs are not exposed. Authentication is a v2 API secret from the JWX dashboard (Developer tools, Management API, Show Secret), sent as a Bearer token. Most tools need the site_id (property id) of the property. The API allows 60 requests per minute.

Connect JW Player How integrations work

Ask it in chat

Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.

When this happens, do that in JW Player.Built from the 75 JW Player tools below, on the connection you add once.

What you can do with JW Player

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use JW Player from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect JW Player in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its JW Player operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
