Cloud file-streaming company LucidLink has announced a new managed service provider program designed to help specialist service providers deploy and manage its shared file workflows across multiple customer environments.
Announced ahead of IBC 2026, LucidLink MSP gives partners centralized capabilities to provision, manage, and bill LucidLink services while maintaining ownership of their end-customer relationships.
The company also announced updates to LucidLink Connect and plans to make its Python SDK and MCP Server generally available later this month.
LucidLink MSP centralizes customer provisioning and billing
Built on the LucidLink Management Platform (LMP), LucidLink MSP targets service providers supporting media and post-production, live sports, architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), and enterprise customers.
The program gives partners a centralized way to provision and manage LucidLink across multiple customer environments. In addition, a bring-your-own-storage model fits the infrastructure their customers already operate.
“Our clients come to us because they want enterprise-grade file access without the overhead of managing it themselves,” said Matt Tape, vice president of media workflow and solutions at CineSys.
“LucidLink MSP lets us deliver exactly that, while giving us the visibility to stay ahead of their needs before they have to ask.”
The company says that partners remain the customer of record and own the end-customer contract, billing, and tier-1 relationship. Meanwhile, LucidLink provides the platform, partner enablement, and tier-2 and tier-3 support.
Connect expands access to distributed media assets
LucidLink is also expanding LucidLink Connect, which allows organizations to bring content stored across different systems into a shared production workflow without first migrating or staging another copy.
Teams can access and edit files from connected sources including Amazon S3, Dropbox, and Frame.io through LucidLink. The company is also adding a new management UI and edit capabilities while previewing Connect Publish.
LucidLink also announced that an upcoming Publish capability will let teams choose when completed work is committed back to its connected source, allowing applications to use the finished version without another copy, export, or transfer.
Python SDK and MCP Server add automation and AI workflows
LucidLink’s Python SDK and MCP Server are also scheduled to become generally available later in September.
The Python SDK provides programmatic access to LucidLink files and can be used in scripts, servers, containers, cloud environments, and automation pipelines. On the other hand, the slated MCP Server gives AI agents a standards-based way to interact with LucidLink through the same developer foundation.
According to LucidLink, the tools can support project setup, file operations, internal tools, orchestration, and agent-driven workflows without requiring a desktop-mounted filespace.
LucidLink will demonstrate its Connect updates and Developer Tools at IBC 2026 in Amsterdam, which runs September 11 through 14.
