description: 'Wistia is an all-in-one video marketing platform for businesses that combines branded video hosting, webinars,
  video editing, webcam and screen recording, and deep viewer analytics for B2B marketing teams focused on lead generation,
  brand control, and content performance. Founded in 2006, Wistia is used by more than 425,000 businesses and integrates with
  major marketing automation and CRM platforms. Wistia ships an unusually complete developer surface for its category: a frozen
  evergreen Data API at https://api.wistia.com/v1 alongside a header-versioned modern API at https://api.wistia.com/modern
  with dated stable releases (2026-01), OpenAPI 3.1 descriptions made discoverable through an RFC 9727 api-catalog linkset,
  OAuth 2.0 with RFC 8414/9728 discovery and dynamic client registration, a hosted MCP server at https://api.wistia.com/mcp/api,
  a Go CLI, a Speakeasy-generated TypeScript SDK, and the Aurora `<wistia-player>` web component.'

    subfolders, folder sharings, captions, localizations, trims, customizations, tags, taggings, channels, channel episodes,
    webinars, webinar registrations, search, stats, allowed domains, expiring access tokens and background jobs. Version is
    selected with the X-Wistia-Api-Version request header rather than the path; each dated stable release is supported for
    one year from its release date, so 2026-01 is supported until 2027-01. The OpenAPI 3.1.1 description is published by Wistia
    at https://wistia.github.io/wistia/api/openapi-2026-01.yaml and is discoverable machine-to-machine through the RFC 9727
    api-catalog linkset at https://api.wistia.com/.well-known/api-catalog.

    the next dated stable release. It carries surfaces absent from 2026-01: Remix (AI video editing), Analytics, Brands, Share
    Links, Review Bundles, Custom Metadata Fields, Deleted Media, Bulk Actions, Push Devices and Extended Audio Descriptions.
    It is also the document that carries Wistia''s MCP wiring — 125 operations declare an x-wistia-mcp-tool-name plus MCP
    behaviour annotations, and 23 more are explicitly hidden from agents with x-wistia-mcp-ignore. This is the service-desc
    that https://api.wistia.com/.well-known/api-catalog points at. Treat it as a preview, not a contract.'

  description: 'Wistia''s first-party hosted Model Context Protocol server, exposing 125 tools across the media, folders,
    channels, captions, customizations, tags, webinars, sharing, account, analytics, stats and remix toolsets. It is a REMOTE
    streamable-HTTP endpoint an agent POSTs to directly — no local install — authenticated with OAuth or a Wistia access token,
    and currently limited to account owners and managers. Discoverable without a human: the server card is linked from Wistia''s
    RFC 9727 api-catalog. An anonymous tools/list returns 401, so the tool inventory in this profile is read from the provider''s
    own OpenAPI annotations rather than guessed.'
