Overview

What is MCP Server - VMS Integration?

MCP Server - VMS Integration is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects to a CCTV recording program (VMS) to retrieve recorded and live video streams and control VMS software, such as showing live or playback dialogs for specific channels at specified times. It is intended for users who need to integrate video surveillance capabilities into MCP-compatible assistants.

How to use MCP Server - VMS Integration?

Install Python 3.12+, the VMS server from surveilance-logic.com, and the vmspy library from sourceforge. Configure the MCP server in claude_desktop_config.json using the uv command pointing to the mcp_vms.py file. Adjust VMS connection settings in mcp_vms_config.py (default IP 127.0.0.1, port 3300, credentials admin/admin).

Frequently asked questions

1

What VMS software does the server work with?

The server works with the CCTV recording program available at surveilance-logic.com (VMS server must be installed separately).

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.12 or later is required, along with the `vmspy` and `Pillow` libraries. The VMS server itself must be installed and running.

3

How do I configure the VMS connection?

Edit `mcp_vms_config.py` to set the VMS server IP, port, access ID, and password. The default configuration uses localhost on port 3300 with credentials admin/admin.

4

What transport protocol does the server use?

The README does not specify a transport protocol; it uses the standard MCP transport defined by the `mcp` library.

5

Can I use this server without a local VMS server?

No, a running VMS server instance is required. The server connects to an existing VMS installation.
