### 2. **`optimize_search_query`**
AI-powered enhancement of video search queries.
**Features:**
- Player name recognition: "lebron" → "LeBron James"
- Action enhancement: "dunk" → "dunks compilation highlights"
- Context addition: Adds "NBA", "basketball", "highlights"
- Quality keywords: Adds "best", "top", "greatest"
### 3. **`batch_compile`**
Create multiple video compilations simultaneously.
**Parameters:**
- `queries` (required): Array of search queries
- `settings` (optional): Global settings for all compilations
### 4. **`list_workflows`**
List all available n8n workflows with filtering for video-related workflows.
### 5. **`get_workflow_status`**
Monitor the status and execution of specific workflows.
## 🤖 AI Agent Integration
### **Claude Desktop Setup**
Add to your Claude Desktop config (`~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-video-compilation": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/tahini/Desktop/Code/n8n-money/mcp-server.js"],
"env": {
"N8N_BASE_URL": "http://localhost:5678/api",
