What you can do
The server exposes 30 tools that map 1:1 onto the Quiz.Video REST API. Discovery tools are anonymous. All quiz_video_* tools require OAuth 2.1 Bearer authentication.
Discovery
| Name | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
get_api_catalog | Get API catalog | Return the Quiz.Video API catalog linkset for agent discovery. |
get_openapi_spec | Get OpenAPI specification | Return the Quiz.Video OpenAPI 3.1 specification. |
get_llms_txt | Get LLM API summary | Return a compact LLM-readable summary of the Quiz.Video API. |
Quizzes
| Name | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
quiz_video_list_quizzes | List quizzes | List quizzes owned by the authenticated user with optional pagination (page, limit). |
quiz_video_get_quiz | Get a quiz | Fetch a single quiz (including settings and metadata) by id. |
quiz_video_create_quiz | Create a quiz | Create a quiz. Prefer sending themeDescription or themeCustomization so the saved quiz has a custom visual theme; if omitted, the server derives one from the title/description. Omit backgroundMusicId to use default shared background music, or set null for silent. Required: title. Optional: description, format, quizType, template, countdownSeconds, difficulty, musicVolume, and questions[]. |
quiz_video_generate_quiz | Generate a quiz with AI | AI-generate and save a quiz from a topic. Prefer providing themeDescription or themeCustomization; when omitted, the server derives and saves a topic-based custom theme. Omit backgroundMusicId to use default shared background music, or set null for silent. The response `data` always includes a `watchUrl` (the public quiz-viewer page, instantly playable). When autoRender is true, `data.render` also contains the queued render session so the agent can poll quiz_video_get_render for the MP4. |
quiz_video_update_quiz | Update quiz settings | Update a quiz. `updates` accepts any subset of quiz settings (title, description, format, template, timing, music, TTS, publish status, etc.). |
quiz_video_delete_quiz | Delete a quiz | Permanently delete a quiz and all of its questions, answers, and hooks. |
quiz_video_list_quiz_questions | List quiz questions | List questions (and their answers) for a quiz. |
quiz_video_add_quiz_questions | Add questions to a quiz | Append one or more questions (with their answers and optional images) to an existing quiz. |
Quiz Hooks
| Name | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
quiz_video_list_quiz_hooks | List quiz hooks | List video hooks configured for a quiz. |
quiz_video_create_quiz_hook | Create a quiz hook | Create a hook for a quiz. `hook` is a pass-through object whose fields follow the HookInput schema (see OpenAPI spec). |
quiz_video_update_quiz_hook | Update a quiz hook | Update an existing hook on a quiz. Requires quizId and numeric hookId; `updates` is a partial HookInput. |
quiz_video_delete_quiz_hook | Delete a quiz hook | Delete a single hook from a quiz. |
Flashcards
| Name | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
quiz_video_list_flashcard_decks | List flashcard decks | List flashcard decks owned by the authenticated user with optional pagination. |
quiz_video_get_flashcard_deck | Get a flashcard deck | Fetch a flashcard deck (including all cards) by id. |
quiz_video_create_flashcard_deck | Create a flashcard deck | Create a flashcard deck. Required: title (3-120 chars) and cards[] (min 1). Optional: description (≤1200 chars), tags (≤50 each). |
quiz_video_delete_flashcard_deck | Delete a flashcard deck | Permanently delete a flashcard deck and all of its cards. |
Renders
| Name | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
quiz_video_create_render | Start render | Queue a new video render for an existing quiz. Returns the render sessionId; poll quiz_video_get_render until its status is "completed" (typically 1-5 minutes), then call quiz_video_download_render to obtain the signed MP4 URL. The quiz itself is viewable immediately at /quiz/{slug}/ regardless of render status. |
quiz_video_get_render | Get render status | Fetch the status and progress of a render session. When status is "completed", the response also contains a signed `videoUrl` (and `filename`) so the agent can share the MP4 directly without a separate quiz_video_download_render call. In-progress polls return status + progress. |
quiz_video_download_render | Get render download URL | Request a signed download URL for a completed render. |
Account & metadata
| Name | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
quiz_video_get_account | Get account | Get the authenticated user's account info, plan, and usage limits. |
quiz_video_list_music | List music library | List available background music tracks. |
quiz_video_list_templates | List custom templates | List the caller's saved custom templates (and optionally public ones). Templates are reusable scene-based designs that can be applied to many quizzes. |
quiz_video_get_template | Get a custom template | Fetch a single custom template (including the full scenes/layers payload) by id. |
quiz_video_create_template | Create a custom template | Save a new custom template authored in the drag-and-drop editor. Required: template (the CustomTemplate JSON). Optional: name, description, thumbnail, isDefault, isPublic. |
quiz_video_update_template | Update a custom template | Update an existing template. Any subset of fields may be supplied; omitted fields stay unchanged. |
quiz_video_delete_template | Delete a custom template | Permanently delete a custom template you own. Quizzes that have a snapshot of this template are unaffected — the snapshot remains in their themeCustomization. |
quiz_video_apply_template | Apply template to quizzes | Apply a snapshot of a custom template to one or more quizzes you own. Sets each quiz's template field to "custom" and writes the snapshot into themeCustomization.customTemplate. Future edits to the source template do not auto-propagate. |
Authentication
Quiz.Video uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration (RFC 7591), so MCP clients can register programmatically the first time a user connects. The flow looks like this:
- The client fetches
/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/api/v1to discover the authorization server. - The client registers itself at the registration endpoint advertised by
/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. - The user is redirected to Quiz.Video to grant access (authorization code + PKCE).
- The client exchanges the code for a JWT access token bound to
https://www.quiz.video/api/v1with scopesapi:read api:write. - The client calls tools over MCP with
Authorization: Bearer <token>.
For server-to-server callers that don't speak OAuth, the same REST API accepts an API key via x-api-key: qv_.... Generate keys from account settings. See the REST API docs for details.
Example prompts
Once connected, try asking your AI assistant things like:
“Generate a 10-question medium-difficulty quiz about the Roman Empire and publish it.”
“Create a Spanish vocabulary flashcard deck with 20 cards covering food and drink.”
“List my last 5 quizzes, start a render for the most recent one, and give me the download URL when it's ready.”
Security
- HTTPS only. The endpoint is served over TLS. Plain HTTP requests are redirected.
- Origin validation. Cross-origin browser requests are restricted to known AI-assistant origins; other origins receive a 403.
- No third-party sharing. The MCP server forwards your bearer token to the Quiz.Video REST API and returns API responses verbatim. No additional telemetry is shared.
- Scope enforcement. Read-only tools require
api:read; tools that mutate data requireapi:write. Tokens are JWTs bound to/api/v1and can be revoked at any time.
