This listing does not currently have a tool list to display. This does not mean the server has no tools; check its documentation for supported capabilities.

We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

What is ONVIF MCP?

ONVIF MCP is a device control and management platform (Media Control Platform) based on the ONVIF protocol. It provides standardized control interfaces for network audio/video devices such as IP cameras and NVRs. It is intended for users who need to discover, configure, and control ONVIF-compliant devices.

How to use ONVIF MCP?

Start the service using the CLI tool with the command mcp dev main.py or by running python run main.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8020. No installation instructions are provided in the README.

Key features of ONVIF MCP

  • Automatic scanning of ONVIF‑compliant devices on the local network
  • Pan‑tilt‑zoom (PTZ) control for rotation and lens zoom
  • Media stream management with RTSP/RTMP protocol URLs
  • Event subscription for motion detection and input triggers
  • Remote device configuration (resolution, frame rate, codec)

Use cases of ONVIF MCP

  • Automatically discover ONVIF cameras on the local network
  • Control PTZ functions such as pan, tilt, and zoom
  • Retrieve real‑time video stream URLs for integration with media players
  • Subscribe to motion detection events for security monitoring
  • Remotely adjust device video parameters like resolution and encoding

Frequently asked questions

1

What transport protocols are supported for media streams?

The platform supports RTSP and RTMP protocols for real‑time video streams.

2

What programming language is the project implemented in?

ONVIF MCP is implemented in Python.

3

What communication protocols does ONVIF MCP use?

It uses ONVIF WS‑Discovery for device discovery and SOAP for control interactions.

4

How do I start the MCP server?

Run the command `mcp dev main.py` or `python run main.py --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8020`.

5

Are there any dependencies mentioned?

The README does not list specific dependencies, but the implementation relies on Python and ONVIF standards (WS‑Discovery, SOAP).
