Integrations and MCP

1. Click the three dots menu (⋮) at the top right corner
2. Select Agent Tools to access the tools management interface

At the top of the Agent Tools screen, you’ll find tabs that help you filter and navigate between different types of tools:

• All: Shows all available tools (both Zencoder-provided and custom)
• Zencoder: Displays prebuilt tools created by Zencoder
• Custom: Shows your custom tools and MCPs that you’ve installed
• MCP Library: Provides a selection of ready-made MCP servers that you can install with a single click and minimal setup

The Agent Tools interface displays all available tools based on the category you’ve selected, including pre-built MCP servers from the MCP Library and any custom tools you’ve added.

To install a pre-built MCP server:

1. Click on the MCP Library tab
2. Browse or search through the available MCP servers

3. Click on the MCP server you want to install
4. Fill in the required configuration details in the form
5. In some cases, you may need to select an installation method (such as Docker or local installation)
6. Click the Install button at the top of the form to complete the installation

To add your own custom MCP server:

1. Click the Add Custom MCP button
2. Enter a name for your MCP and fill in the configuration details
3. Click the Install button at the top to add your custom MCP

To manage an existing MCP server:

1. Click on the MCP server in your list of installed servers
2. You will see its configuration details and name
3. You can modify these settings as needed
4. To completely remove the MCP server, click the Uninstall button

After adding an MCP server:

1. Make sure Coding Agent is enabled
2. Test it with a relevant prompt. For example, if you added the time MCP server, try: “What’s the time in Zagreb right now?”

Open … menu in Zencoder chat and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

Scroll down to the bottom of the settings page until you find the MCP Servers part and click on “Edit in settings.json”.

In the settings.json file, find the MCP servers configuration section that looks like this:

"zencoder.mcpServers": {

},

Let’s add a simple MCP server for getting time information. Add the following configuration:

"zencoder.mcpServers": {
  "time": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["mcp-server-time"]
  }
},

Save the settings.json file. Now go back to your chat, make sure Coding Agent is enabled and try a prompt like: “What’s the time in Zagreb right now?”

Open JetBrains settings by going to File > Settings (or JetBrains IDE > Settings on macOS).

In the settings window, scroll down to Tools and expand it if needed. Find Zencoder and expand it until you see MCP Servers, then click on it.

You’ll see instructions showing the format:

{
    "mcp_server_name": {
       "command": "...",
       "args": [...],
       ...
    }
}

Paste the following configuration into the editor:

{
  "time": {
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": ["mcp-server-time"]
  }
}

Click Apply to save the changes, then reopen your project. Go back to your chat, make sure Coding Agent is enabled and try a prompt like: “What’s the time in Zagreb right now?”
