What is Vidcast MCP Server?

Vidcast MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration that enables AI assistants and agents to interact with the Vidcast video platform data. Vidcast is the Webex Suite's enterprise video solution. It exposes 29 tools that allow agents to search, browse, analyze, and retrieve information from Vidcast videos, playlists, pages, and user activity — all through a standardized MCP interface with OAuth-based authentication.
