Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Gumlet

Ask your AI how a video performed last month, to import a new video from a link, or to put this week's uploads in a playlist in Gumlet. It can search your library, update titles, tags, chapters and thumbnails, read usage and analytics, and check live streams and image sources. Video housekeeping gets done from a chat.

Try asking

“How many views did the product demo video get last month?”
The AI reads the viewing analytics for that video over the date range you give.
“Import this MP4 into the Marketing workspace as 'Spring launch'.”
It creates the video from the public file URL with the title you give. Gumlet then downloads and processes it.
“Find all videos tagged webinar.”
It searches the workspace for videos with that tag and lists them.

What your AI can do

Video library

Search and browse videos, folders and playlists, import videos from a URL, and update titles, tags, chapters and thumbnails.

Analytics and usage

Live and images

List live workspaces and streams with their status, read image sources and clear cached images for a source.

“Make a playlist called Onboarding and add these three videos.”
It creates the playlist in the workspace and adds the videos to it.
“Add chapters to the demo video: Intro at 0:00, Setup at 1:30, Q&A at 12:00.”
It sets the chapters on the video. Existing chapters are replaced.
“How much bandwidth did we use in the last 30 days?”
It reads your account's video usage for that period, grouped by day if you like.

Questions

What can the AI do in Gumlet?

It can search and read videos, workspaces, folders, playlists, live workspaces, live streams and image sources, and read video analytics and usage. It can import videos, update videos and playlists, set chapters and thumbnails, create folders and playlists, add videos to playlists, clear image cache and delete videos.

Does the AI see my Gumlet credentials?

No. Your Gumlet API key is encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save it, it is not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start with search and analytics only. Deleting a video stops it from playing, so it can require your approval before it runs. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Gumlet account. Anything Gumlet charges for storage or delivery is between you and Gumlet.

Which role should the API key have?

Gumlet API keys follow Gumlet roles, so the key can only do what its role allows. Pick a role that matches what you want the AI to do. A narrower role adds a limit on top of the tools you switch on in PipMCP.
