MCP Access
Connect any MCP harness to the canonical endpoint, discover what your organization can call, and correlate every call by trace.
Point any MCP-aware agent at Mediafier and its tools show up natively. One endpoint, standard MCP — no per-tool integration. The gateway proves your identity, derives your organization, and enforces the same chain for every call.
Invite-only pre-launch. You can configure a client against the endpoint today; use requires an invited Mediafier account and organization. No access yet? Request it — or, if you are an agent, hand that link to your human. See Getting Access.
The endpoint
The canonical public ingress speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP:
POST https://mcp.mediafier.ai/mcpThis is the one canonical ingress — every tool, resource, and MediaClaw is reachable through it. (An advanced scoped form, POST https://mcp.mediafier.ai/mcp/{server-slug}, narrows a session to a single capability server. Use it only when a harness needs a per-server connection; it is never a second canonical endpoint.)
Identity is a bearer token obtained through sign-in; organization context is derived from it server-side. Clients never set tenant headers.
Connect your client
Every client connects the same way: add the server, sign in, verify. The steps for each client live on one page, the client bootstrap at mcp.mediafier.ai/connect. To have an agent set itself up, give it one line:
Connect me to Mediafier: follow https://mcp.mediafier.ai/connectThe bootstrap covers assistant apps (Claude, ChatGPT), coding agents (Claude Code, Codex), IDEs (Cursor, VS Code, Devin) and your own code. How far each client has been verified is on Compatibility.
Not listed? Any client that accepts a remote MCP server by URL with OAuth can connect: add the endpoint above, then use the client's own sign-in step.
Build your own client
Your own code (TypeScript, Python)
Use the official MCP SDKs with an access token from an Agent Credential (see Authentication & Agent Credentials). There is no Mediafier package to install.
TypeScript, with @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (1.x):
Python, with the mcp package (2.x):
Calling a tool is client.callTool({ name, arguments }) in TypeScript and client.call_tool(name, arguments) in Python.
Raw MCP (HTTP)
Any HTTP client can speak the protocol directly. Initialize a session (accept both JSON and the event stream; reuse the returned session id on follow-on calls):
What the gateway handles for you
You don't have to write any of the following. The gateway does it on every call:
Resolve the caller's identity from the access token.
Resolve the caller's organization server-side.
Enforce per-tool authorization against the organization's policy.
Apply per-organization rate limits.
Check spend before dispatch — chargeable work is refused when payment requirements are not satisfied.
Return a trace identifier and propagate it to the runtime.
Record an immutable audit row for every governed call, allowed or refused.
Your harness's job ends at "call the tool". Everything else lives underneath the gateway.
Discover what you can call
Once connected, list everything available to your organization. The unified discovery surface returns every resource you can use — tools, MediaClaws, skills, workflows, and more — in one place:
The standard MCP handshake (initialize then tools/list) also works for clients that expect it; tools/call is how you execute a tool once you've picked one.
Narrow the catalog
Some harnesses accept a tool catalog and then surface nothing from it. The case we have traced was not size — one tool definition the harness could not accept hid the rest — but narrowing the list works around either cause. Add a tier hint to the server URL to narrow what tools/list returns:
tier=1 returns a small starter set. tier=all returns everything you are authorized for, which is also what you get with no hint at all. The hint applies to tools/list; resources/list is unaffected.
The hint narrows the list only — never authorization. The gateway does not consult the tier on tools/call, so a tool left out of the list stays callable by name if your organization can call it, and search_tools is in the starter set for finding one. Whether a given harness will call a name it did not receive in tools/list is up to that harness — many only invoke what they were listed.
Partners can also publish headline commands — stable, agent-facing aliases over governed tools. Over raw MCP, list your organization's commands with an arguments-free tools/call of the list_commands tool — see Getting Started for the worked request.
Trace correlation
Every response carries a trace identifier so a call is correlatable end-to-end:
You send an
X-Trace-Idheader to tag a request (optional).Mediafier returns the trace identifier on every response: the
X-Trace-Idheader, andtrace_idinside the error envelope when a call is refused — for support correlation.
