Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

• get_account_status

  Start here. Returns who the account is, its subscription tier and limits, how much weekly upload/stream quota is used and remaining, and every channel the owner has with its ready-asset count and what it still needs to go live…

• list_channels

  List the channels owned by this account.

• get_channel

  Get one channel by id. Includes scheduleStatus (inactive | pending | active | error) — poll this to confirm a channel has gone live — plus watchUrl, launchedAt and isArchived.

• check_handle_available

  Check whether a channel handle is free before trying to create it. The handle becomes the subdomain: {handle}.my-tv-channel.com. 3-63 chars, lowercase a-z, 0-9 and hyphens.

• create_channel

  Create a 24/7 linear TV channel. It will NOT be live yet — a channel goes live automatically once it has at least 4 ready assets AND at least 15 minutes of total content. is_public lists it in Discover and is available on every…

• update_channel

  Update an existing channel: name, description, visibility, category, language, age rating, or the community chat link. Only send the fields you are changing.

• archive_channel

  Take a channel off the air and out of every listing. This ARCHIVES rather than destroys: the handle stays reserved and assets and schedule history are retained, so it can be restored. Refuses with 409 while transcodes are still running…

• import_video_from_url

  Add a video to a channel from a direct media URL. THIS IS THE MAIN WAY TO ADD CONTENT over MCP — you cannot upload local file bytes through this interface, so if the owner has local files, ask them to host them somewhere reachable or…

• import_youtube_video

  Import a YouTube video that the OWNER UPLOADED THEMSELVES. This will not work for anyone else's video, by design — a channel built from other people's videos is a copyright problem for the owner. Ownership is proved by a tag only the…

• list_assets

  List the videos on a channel.

• get_transcode_status

  Poll transcode progress. Give either channel_id (all its videos) or asset_id (one). Each asset reports uploadStatus (downloading -> pending -> transcoding -> ready) and the summary tells you when meetsLaunchRequirements becomes true: 4+…

• set_asset_weight

  Change how often a video plays (weight 0-10, default 5; 0 removes it from rotation entirely), and optionally its title or tags. IMPORTANT ORDERING: weights only affect what actually airs when the schedule is (re)generated. A channel…

• delete_asset

  Remove a video from a channel. Soft delete — it stops being scheduled immediately and the schedule regenerates automatically. Idempotent. The asset is retained and stops being scheduled; it is not erased. Affects one video…

• retry_transcode

  Re-queue a video whose transcode failed. Only works on assets in a failed state.

• regenerate_schedule

  Rebuild the channel's schedule now using the current weights. Call this after changing weights on a channel that is ALREADY live, otherwise the change will not air until the hourly cron. Throttled to one call per channel per 5 minutes…

• get_schedule

  Read the channel's EPG — what is playing and what is coming up. Note this one returns a plain array of entries (unlike other tools, which return an object).

• get_schedule_rules

  Read the channel's declarative schedule rules (fixed time slots and dayparts), plus its scheduling mode and timezone.

• validate_schedule_rules

  DRY-RUN a ruleset. Saves nothing. Returns {valid, errors, warnings, preview} where preview is a simulated 24h grid of what would actually air. Intended as the dry run for set_schedule_rules: rules are wall-clock, slots start on-or-after…

• set_schedule_rules

  Give the channel a durable schedule: fixed slots ("news at 18:00") and dayparts ("no kids content after 22:00"). The scheduler re-honours these on EVERY rebuild, so you set them once instead of babysitting the grid. **Pro tier or…
