## Research notes
Verified 2026-09-07: POST of an MCP initialize to https://api.wistia.com/mcp/api returned HTTP 401 with JSON reading "unauthorized"; the control POST to /zzz-not-a-route returned 403 with an empty body. The statuses differ, so the 401 is specific to the MCP route rather than a blanket wall, but the control did not return 404, so this is recorded as a live auth-gated server on the vendor's host with a weaker control than the standard 404. The plan names in the MCP guide (Free, Pro, Max, Team) do not match the plan names on the current pricing page (Free, Business, Business + Lead gen, Enterprise); the guide is older than the price list. Like Vidyard in this file, Wistia is a hosting platform with a sales use case, not a purpose-built prospecting-video tool, which keeps headline finding 6 in INDEX.md intact. 2026-09-07: https://api.wistia.com/mcp/api returned 401 to an MCP initialize POST (https://api.wistia.com/mcp/api). 2026-09-09 (P6-04 repo sweep): first-party repository recorded at https://github.com/wistia/agent-plugins, the org wistia (profile site wistia.com), last push 2026-09-02. Its README states the plugins connect an agent to Wistia through Wistia's hosted MCP server, so this is the vendor's own client-side wiring, not the server source. The official registry entry io.github.wistia/wistia-api-mcp lists the remote https://api.wistia.com/mcp/api and no repository. No public server source was found.
