MCP tools — 9 exposed · ~775 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens

check_balance ~44

Check the remaining Importly credit balance for the configured API key. Use this to diagnose failed jobs (insufficient credits) or as a pre-flight check before large imports/transcriptions.

Input Output Examples

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_basic_metadata ~44

Check the status of a get_basic_metadata job. Returns title, duration, and thumbnail once completed.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
jobId	string	yes	Job id returned by get_basic_metadata

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_import ~48

Check the status of an import_media job. Returns the media download URL (and transcript, if requested) once the job completes.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
jobId	string	yes	Job id returned by import_media

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_metadata ~39

Check the status of a get_metadata job. Returns the full metadata object once completed.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
jobId	string	yes	Job id returned by get_metadata

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_transcription ~45

Check the status of a transcribe_media job. Returns the transcript text and timestamped segments once completed.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
jobId	string	yes	Job id returned by transcribe_media

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_basic_metadata ~84

Fast-path metadata for a video/audio URL: title, duration, and thumbnail only. Cheaper and quicker than get_metadata — use this to identify or validate a media URL before importing or transcribing it. Async: poll check_basic_metadata with the returned jobId.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
url	string	yes	Media page URL, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_metadata ~110

Extract full metadata for a video/audio URL (title, description, duration, uploader, formats, thumbnails, view counts) without downloading the media. Works on YouTube, TikTok, X, and 1000+ sites — no yt-dlp to run yourself. Async: poll check_metadata with the returned jobId. For just title/duration/thumbnail, prefer the faster get_basic_metadata.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
url	string	yes	Media page URL, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

import_media ~202

Download the video/audio at any URL (YouTube, TikTok, X, and 1000+ sites) to hosted storage and get back a direct download link. Importly runs yt-dlp, rotating residential proxies, and ffmpeg server-side — no local tooling needed. Async: returns a jobId immediately; poll check_import for the result. Optionally also produce a transcript in the same job with includeTranscript.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
audioQuality	string	—	Default medium
includeAudio	boolean	—	Include audio stream (default true)
includeTranscript	boolean	—	Also transcribe the audio in the same job
includeVideo	boolean	—	Include video stream (default true)
transcriptLanguage	string	—	ISO language hint for the transcript, e.g. "en"
url	string	yes	Media page URL, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...
videoQuality	string	—	Default 720p

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

transcribe_media ~159

Transcribe the audio of any video/audio URL (YouTube, TikTok, podcasts, and 1000+ sites) to text with timestamped segments. Importly handles the download, audio extraction, and speech-to-text server-side — no yt-dlp or ffmpeg needed. Async: returns a jobId immediately; poll check_transcription for the transcript. Costs scale with media length; set maxCostDollars to cap spend on long media.

Input Output Examples

Name	Type	Req	Description
language	string	—	ISO language hint, e.g. "en"
maxCostDollars	number	—	Abort with a quote if the estimated cost exceeds this cap
url	string	yes	Media page URL, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
