⚠️ ADVANCED USE ONLY - api.video MCP Server (47 operations)

🚨 This workflow is for advanced users only!

This MCP server contains 47 operations which is significantly more than the recommended maximum of tools for most AI clients.

🔍 Recommended Alternative for basic use cases

Seek a simplified MCP server that utilizes the official n8n tool implementation for api.video if available, or an MCP server with only common operations as it will be more efficient and easier to manage.

🛠️ Advanced Usage Requirements

BEFORE adding this MCP server to your client:

Disable or delete unused nodes - Review sections and disable/delete those you don't need

AFTER adding the MCP server to your client:
1.Selective tool enabling - Instead of enabling all tools (default), manually select only the specific tools you need for that Workflow's MCP client.
2. Monitor performance - Too many tools can slow down AI responses

💡 Pro Tips

Keep maximum 40 enabled tools - Most AI clients perform better with fewer tools

  • Group related operations and only enable one group at a time
  • Use the overview note to understand what each operation group does

⚡ Quick Setup

  1. Import this workflow into your n8n instance
  2. Credentials Add api.video credentials
  3. Activate the workflow to start your MCP server
  4. Copy the webhook URL from the MCP trigger node
  5. Connect AI agents using the MCP URL

🔧 How it Works

This workflow converts the api.video API into an MCP-compatible interface for AI agents.

• MCP Trigger: Serves as your server endpoint for AI agent requests
• HTTP Request Nodes: Handle API calls to https://ws.api.video
• AI Expressions: Automatically populate parameters via $fromAI() placeholders
• Native Integration: Returns responses directly to the AI agent
