概览

What is VLC MCP Server?

VLC MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets you control VLC media player remotely via any MCP client, such as signal-mcp-client. It is designed for Linux systems (Ubuntu, Debian, Raspberry Pi OS) and allows playing movies from a specified video folder.

How to use VLC MCP Server?

Install VLC, mediainfo, and uv. Start VLC with the HTTP interface enabled (--extraintf=http, --http-host=localhost, --http-port=8081, --http-password=your_password). Add the server to your MCP client’s config file using uvx vlc-mcp-server and set environment variables: ROOT_VIDEO_FOLDER, VLC_HTTP_HOST, VLC_HTTP_PORT, and VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD.

Key features of VLC MCP Server

  • Play and control movies via VLC media player.
  • Remote control through any MCP client.
  • Configurable video folder and VLC HTTP settings.
  • Can be run as a systemd user service for auto-start.

Use cases of VLC MCP Server

  • Start a movie on a beamer-connected laptop by sending a Signal message.
  • Integrate movie playback into custom MCP-based automation workflows.

常见问题

1

What are the required dependencies?

VLC, mediainfo, and uv must be installed. On Debian/Ubuntu: `sudo apt-get install vlc mediainfo`; install uv via `curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh`.

2

Where should video files be placed?

Set the `ROOT_VIDEO_FOLDER` environment variable to the path of your video folder.

3

How does the server authenticate with VLC?

Authentication is done via a password set in the VLC HTTP server startup (`--http-password=your_password`) and passed to the MCP server via the `VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD` environment variable.

4

Can the server run automatically on boot?

Yes. On Linux, you can set up the VLC HTTP interface as a systemd user service using the provided service file, which enables auto-start and restart on failure.

5

Which operating systems are supported?

The README provides instructions for Linux systems running Ubuntu or similar Debian-based systems like Raspberry Pi OS. It notes that with modifications it should work on other systems.
