An MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server to play and control movies using the VLC media player.
The VLC MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server designed to facilitate remote control of video playback using the VLC media player. It allows users to manage video playback through any MCP client, such as the signal-mcp-client, by sending commands remotely. This setup is particularly useful for scenarios where a user wants to control video playback on a device connected to a display, like a beamer, from a different location. The server is primarily intended for use on Linux systems, specifically those running Ubuntu or similar Debian-based distributions, but can be adapted for other systems with some modifications. The server leverages the VLC HTTP interface to receive and execute commands, making it a versatile tool for remote media management.
