Shotstack MCP integration
Saves timelines as templates with merge fields, ingests and inspects source media, starts renders, and polls them through to completion.
23actions available
Three actions you can hand over today
Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.
Render video
Lyro initiates a video render job with a single request, turning edit specs into finished files. Agents no longer pass render requests back to the design team.
Create template
Lyro saves a new video template for reuse across campaigns. Support teams accelerate future projects by reusing tested designs instead of rebuilding from scratch.
Get render status
Lyro checks the current status and details of a video render. Agents instantly tell customers when their video will be ready.
How businesses use Shotstack + Lyro
Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Shotstack actions Lyro runs to close it.
Start a render and follow it through to done
Lyro kicks off a render from a defined timeline, polls the job until it reports done or failed, and returns the hosted video, thumbnail, and poster image that render produced.
Render VideoGet Render StatusGet Assets by Render IDSave a timeline as a reusable template
Lyro saves an edit as a template with merge fields for the parts that change per customer, updates it as the design evolves, and lists what the account already has before creating a duplicate.
Create Template (v2)Update TemplateList TemplatesBring source media in and check it before use
Lyro fetches a remote file into Shotstack storage or requests a signed upload URL, then inspects duration, resolution, and frame rate so trim points and audio sync are calculated against real values.
Fetch SourceGet Upload URLInspect MediaKeep stage and production renders apart
Lyro lists sources and templates for the stage sandbox or the production environment explicitly, and reads a render's callback configuration so completion notifications land where they are expected.

How it works
Get started in 3 steps
Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Shotstack actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.
- 01
Connect Shotstack
Authorize the Shotstack account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
- 02
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Shotstack actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
- 03
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

Everything else about Shotstack
Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Shotstack.
By polling. Render Video returns immediately with a render ID and Get Render Status reports done or failed. Fetch Source behaves the same way - the ingest is asynchronous, so Lyro polls Get Source Details or Inspect Media until the asset is ready before passing it into a render.
