Integration

Mux integration

Mux Video API for video streaming and hosting. Upload, transcode, and deliver video content with adaptive bitrate streaming. Create assets from URLs or direct uploads, manage live streams, and generate playback URLs. Supports HLS streaming, signed URLs for protected content, and DRM. Ideal for video platforms, streaming applications, and media delivery.

What you can do with Mux

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.

Asset, 5 operations

create_assetCreate assetPOSTCreates a video asset from a URL. Mux transcodes it for adaptive streaming.
delete_assetDelete assetDELETEPermanently deletes a video asset and all its playback IDs.
get_assetGet assetGETRetrieves complete details of a video asset including status, playback IDs, and encoding info.
list_assetsList assetsGETLists all video assets with pagination support.
update_assetUpdate assetPATCHUpdates mutable properties of a video asset like passthrough metadata.

Live stream, 5 operations

create_live_streamCreate live streamPOSTCreates a live stream with RTMP ingest URL for broadcasting.
delete_live_streamDelete live streamDELETEPermanently deletes a live stream and its playback IDs.
get_live_streamGet live streamGETRetrieves complete details of a live stream including status and stream key.
list_live_streamsList live streamsGETLists all live streams with optional status filtering.
update_live_streamUpdate live streamPATCHUpdates mutable properties of a live stream such as latency mode, reconnect window, and passthrough metadata.

Upload, 4 operations

cancel_uploadCancel uploadPUTCancels a pending direct upload, invalidating the upload URL.
create_direct_uploadCreate direct uploadPOSTCreates a direct upload URL for browser-based video uploads without exposing API credentials.
get_direct_uploadGet direct uploadGETRetrieves the status and details of a direct upload.
list_uploadsList uploadsGETLists all direct uploads with their status and resulting asset IDs.

Playback id, 2 operations

create_playback_idCreate playback idPOSTCreates a new playback ID with specified access policy (public, signed, or DRM).
delete_playback_idDelete playback idDELETERemoves a playback ID, disabling that streaming URL.

Mux API rate limits

1 request per second

POST requests: 1 req/sec sustained with burst. GET/PUT/PATCH/DELETE: 5 req/sec sustained. HTTP 429 when exceeded. Limits are per account.

These are the limits Mux documents, not ones LiveContext measured. They can change and often depend on your plan, so check the Mux documentation for current values.

Use Mux from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Mux in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Mux 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"
      }
    }
  }
}

How to connect Mux

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Mux once
Add your Mux connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
