Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Wistia

Ask your AI how your videos are doing and get the answer from your Wistia account. It can search and update media, move them between folders, add captions and read plays, engagement and top content for any period. It can also list viewers, channels and webinars, and register people for a webinar.

Connect Wistia free

Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.

Try asking

“Which videos got the most plays last month?”
The AI ranks your top media between the two dates, sorted by plays.
“What is the play rate and engagement on our product demo?”
It finds the video and reads its lifetime stats: loads, plays, play rate, hours watched and engagement.
“Move every video tagged onboarding into the Customer Training folder.”
It lists media with that tag, finds the folder and moves the media into it.

What your AI can do

Media and folders

Search, update, move, archive and delete media, import from a public URL, and create and update folders.

Stats and analytics

Read lifetime stats per video, analytics for a date range, account analytics, top content and viewers.

Captions, channels and webinars

Add and list captions, list channels and episodes, and read webinars and register people for them.

“Add these English captions to the welcome video.”
It adds the SRT caption text to the video with the language you give.
“Who has registered for next week's webinar?”
It finds the webinar and lists its registrations.
“Import the video at this public link into the Marketing folder.”
It imports the file from the URL into Wistia and places it in that folder.

Set up in three steps

1

2
Paste your key
Paste a Wistia API token. As the Wistia Account Owner, open Account Settings > API and click New token. Give it a name and the permissions you want, then copy the token. It can only be copied when it is first created.
3
Add the link to your AI
You get a personal MCP link. Add it to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor:
1. Click your name, then Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector.
2. Paste your link as the Remote MCP server URL.
3. Switch it on from the + menu in a chat.

Questions

What can the AI do in Wistia?

It can search and read media, folders, tags, captions, share link settings, channels, episodes, webinars, registrations and viewers, plus stats and analytics for videos and your account. It can update, move, archive and delete media, import media from a URL, create and update folders, add captions and register people for webinars.

Does the AI see my Wistia API token?

No. You paste your API token into HeyMyApps once. It is encrypted at rest, never shown to the AI and never shown again after you save it. The AI only gets the results of the tools you have switched on.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. Switch on only the tools you want, for example stats and search without changes. Actions that affect live embeds or reach people, like archive_media, delete_media or register_for_webinar, can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your HeyMyApps 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?

HeyMyApps has a free plan, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You connect your own Wistia account, so anything Wistia charges is between you and Wistia.

Who can create the Wistia API token?

Only the Wistia Account Owner can create API tokens. When you create the token, you choose its permissions, so you can give it only what the AI needs. Copy the token right away, because Wistia only lets you copy it when it is first created.
