What is MCP VMS
MCP VMS is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server developed to control and access video surveillance systems, specifically CCTV recording programs (VMS). It connects directly to VMS software, enabling retrieval of both recorded and live video streams. MCP VMS provides robust tools to control surveillance software, including showing live feeds or playback dialogs for specific channels at specified times, retrieving video channel information (such as connection and recording status), fetching live or recorded images, querying recording dates and times, and even controlling PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras by moving them to preset positions. Designed for flexibility and integration, MCP VMS includes comprehensive error handling and logging, making it suitable for security operations centers, research, and advanced automation scenarios.
