  2. Navigate to Settings > Account > API Keys
  3. Click Generate API Key
  4. Copy the generated API key
  5. Set it as LOOM_API_KEY in your environment

Required API Scopes

The Loom API key provides access based on your account permissions:

node dist/main.js

Or using the npm script:

npm start

HTTP Mode

Currently supports stdio transport only. HTTP/SSE transport support coming soon.

Tool Coverage Manifest

Total API Coverage

  • Total Loom API endpoints: ~60
  • Tools implemented: 21
  • Intentionally skipped: 39
  • Coverage: 21/60 = 35%

Implemented Tools

Category Tools Count
Videos list, get, update, archive, search, get_analytics, list_reactions, update_privacy, get_recording_status 9
Folders list, get, create, update, delete 5
Comments list, get, create, delete 4
Transcripts get_transcript, download_video_transcript 2
Embeds get_embed_code 1
Workspaces list, get, get_members, list_shared_videos 4

Total: 25 tools across 6 categories

Skipped Endpoints (Rationale)

  • Video Upload (4 endpoints): Complex binary upload, requires special handling
  • Video Recording (6 endpoints): Client-side recording SDK, not API-based
  • Webhooks (5 endpoints): Admin configuration, not suitable for MCP
  • Team Management (8 endpoints): Admin/billing functions, low-value for AI workflows
  • Permissions (4 endpoints): Complex ACL management better suited for UI
  • Integrations (6 endpoints): OAuth and third-party connections
  • Bulk Operations (3 endpoints): High-risk, better suited for admin tools
  • Other low-use administrative endpoints

Coverage Goals

Current implementation focuses on Tier 1 (daily video workflows):

  • Browsing and searching videos
  • Managing folders and organization
  • Reviewing comments and feedback
  • Accessing transcripts for searchability
  • Getting embed codes for sharing
  • Tracking video analytics and engagement

Future expansion could add Tier 2 tools for power users:

  • Video upload and processing
  • Advanced analytics and reporting
  • Team management and permissions
  • Custom branding and player settings
