Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the MCP Integrations section. 2. Click 'Add Integration' and select Spotlightr from the catalog. 3. You'll be prompted to enter your Spotlightr API key — find this in your Spotlightr account under Settings > API Access. 4. Paste the key into Switchy and click 'Connect'. 5. Switchy will verify the key and confirm the connection within a few seconds. 6. Open any Space and type '@Spotlightr get top videos' to test — you should see a list of your most-viewed videos. 7. To fetch metrics for a specific video, grab its ID from the list and prompt '@Spotlightr get video metrics for [video_id]'. 8. If the connection fails, double-check the API key hasn't expired and that your Spotlightr plan includes API access.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Spotlightr are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

@Spotlightr show me the top 5 most-viewed videos in our account right now
Here are your top 5 videos by view count: 1) 'Product Demo Q4' (12,847 views), 2) 'Onboarding Walkthrough v2' (9,203 views), 3) 'Customer Success Webinar' (7,561 views), 4) 'Feature Launch Announcement' (6,429 views), 5) 'Team All-Hands Recap' (5,318 views). Each entry includes the video ID you can use to pull detailed metrics.
This example shows the read-heavy listing capability. The actual response structure depends on your Spotlightr account's video library. Requires a valid API key with read permissions. Useful for quick content audits or identifying high-performing assets.
@Spotlightr pull the full analytics for video ID vid_8x2k9p — I need views, engagement rate, and total watch time
Video 'Product Demo Q4' (vid_8x2k9p) has 12,847 total views, 68% average engagement rate, and 1,204 hours of cumulative watch time. Peak viewing occurred between Nov 15-22. The engagement metric reflects how much of the video viewers watched on average before dropping off.
This demonstrates the metrics-retrieval tool. You must already have a video ID (from the top-videos list or your Spotlightr dashboard). The engagement calculation and time-range granularity depend on Spotlightr's analytics backend. No write operations occur here.
@Spotlightr compare engagement rates across our top 3 videos and suggest which one to feature in next week's email campaign
Top 3 by engagement: 'Onboarding Walkthrough v2' (74% engagement, 9,203 views), 'Product Demo Q4' (68%, 12,847 views), 'Customer Success Webinar' (61%, 7,561 views). Recommendation: Feature 'Onboarding Walkthrough v2' — it has the highest engagement rate, meaning viewers watch more of it, which typically drives better email click-through and conversion. The lower view count suggests it's underexposed relative to its quality.
This synthesis example pairs Spotlightr's data with AI reasoning. The MCP fetches metrics for multiple videos, then the AI interprets engagement vs. reach trade-offs. The recommendation logic is illustrative — your campaign goals (awareness vs. conversion) may favor a different choice.
Use-case deep-dives
When two tools are enough for content team standups
A 3-person video marketing team runs a weekly standup to decide which videos to promote or retire. They need last week's top performers and engagement metrics for the videos they're considering for paid ads. Spotlightr's two-tool MCP is the right call here: pull the top videos list, then drill into metrics for the 4-5 candidates. The workflow is linear, the data is fresh, and the team doesn't need to context-switch into the Spotlightr dashboard. This breaks down if you're analyzing more than 10 videos per session—at that point, the per-video API call overhead makes the dashboard faster. If your team reviews video performance at least twice a month and the decision set is under 10 videos, add this MCP to your Switchy workspace.
When this MCP saves time on agency deliverables
A freelance video consultant manages Spotlightr accounts for 6 clients and sends monthly performance summaries. Each client wants to know which videos drove the most engagement and whether watch time is trending up. The Get Top Videos and Get Video Metrics tools cover 80% of the report—pull the top 5, grab their metrics, paste into the template. The MCP is faster than logging into 6 separate dashboards, but it won't replace a full analytics export if clients want cohort breakdowns or funnel data. The threshold: if your reports need more than top-line views and engagement, you'll still need the Spotlightr UI for the deep cuts. For monthly or quarterly summaries where top-performer data is the anchor, this MCP cuts report prep from 45 minutes to 10.
When limited tooling forces a narrow use case
A 5-person sales ops team wants to audit which product demo videos are actually getting watched by prospects. They have 40 videos in Spotlightr and need to identify the 10 with the highest engagement to feature in the new onboarding sequence. The Get Top Videos tool surfaces the winners in one call, and Get Video Metrics confirms watch time and drop-off points. This MCP works because the question is simple and the tooling matches the task. It doesn't work if you need to filter by viewer segment, compare time periods, or export raw data—those require the full Spotlightr platform. If your audit is a one-time ranking exercise and you're comfortable with API key auth, this MCP gets you to a decision in under 15 minutes.
Frequently asked
What does the Spotlightr MCP do in Switchy?
It pulls video analytics from your Spotlightr account—specifically your top-performing videos and detailed metrics like views, engagement, and watch time for any video ID. Your team can ask questions about video performance without logging into Spotlightr's dashboard. It's read-only; you can't upload videos or change settings through the MCP.
Do I need admin access to connect Spotlightr?
You need an API key from your Spotlightr account, which typically requires account owner or admin permissions to generate. Spotlightr doesn't use OAuth—you paste the API key into Switchy once during setup. If your team restricts API key creation, coordinate with whoever manages your Spotlightr billing or security settings.
Can the Spotlightr MCP upload videos or edit video settings?
No. It only reads analytics data—top videos and per-video metrics. You can't upload new videos, change thumbnails, adjust privacy settings, or manage viewer access through this integration. For those tasks, use Spotlightr's web dashboard or their full API directly.
How does this compare to checking Spotlightr's dashboard manually?
The MCP saves you from context-switching when you're already working in Switchy. Instead of opening a browser tab and navigating Spotlightr's UI, you ask a question and get the metric back in seconds. The trade-off: you only get the two tool functions (top videos, video metrics), not the full dashboard's filtering and export options.
Who on the team should connect the Spotlightr integration?
Whoever owns your video analytics workflow—usually a marketing lead or content manager. They'll need access to generate the API key. Once connected, anyone in your Switchy workspace can query video metrics, so you don't bottleneck reporting on one person. The integration doesn't consume extra seats or count against Spotlightr's plan limits.
