muxinc/mux-node-sdk
Official Mux API wrapper for Node projects, supporting both Mux Data and Mux Video.
Official Node.js/TypeScript SDK for the Mux video platform, covering both the Video API (assets, live streams, uploads) and Data API (analytics, metrics, monitoring). Generated via Stainless, so the structure is mechanical but consistent. Useful for any Node/Deno/Bun backend that needs to talk to Mux without hand-rolling REST calls.
- Full TypeScript coverage with named types for every request param and response field, including discriminated union types for webhook events — the switch/case example in the README actually narrows the type correctly.
- JWT helper for signed playback tokens is genuinely convenient, especially the multi-type batch signing that returns props ready to spread onto mux-player.
- Webhook signature verification is built in and well documented, including the raw-body gotcha for Express users.
- Auto-pagination via async iteration, per-request timeout/retry overrides, and raw response access (.asResponse()/.withResponse()) are all present — the HTTP client layer is solid.
- The SDK is Stainless-generated, which means the examples directory has a single file (.keep + one create-asset example). Real-world patterns like polling for asset readiness, handling upload URLs, or wiring up live stream webhooks end-to-end are absent.
- Low star count (179) for an official SDK of a paid service suggests many users are either on older versions or using REST directly — the v14 breaking changes noted in MIGRATION.md may have caused churn.
- React Native is explicitly unsupported with no stated timeline, which is a real gap given how common mobile video use cases are on Mux.
- The bundled MCP server (packages/mcp-server) ships a hardcoded public key file (mcp-publish-key.pem) in the repo, which is unusual and could confuse contributors about what is safe to rotate or change.
