With Wistia's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, Account Owners and Managers can enable an AI agent to connect directly to your Wistia account.

This allows you to interact with your Wistia content, manage your account, and view information directly from Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT, with language prompts. This means that, instead of digging through documents and writing code, you can use simple requests to get the information you need.

At this time, you can enjoy the MCP server free of charge
