Redbee MCP MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Connect to Red Bee Media streaming services from MCP-compatible clients like Claude Desktop, or integrate via HTTP/SSE for web applications. This server provides 33 tools for authentication, content search, user management, purchases, and.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at redbee-mcp on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Once Redbee MCP is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Server — Sent Events**: For real-time updatesRequirements — The Requirements tool exposed by this serverYou will need 6 environment variables: REDBEE_CUSTOMER, REDBEE_BUSINESS_UNIT, REDBEE_EXPOSURE_BASE_URL, REDBEE_SESSION_TOKEN, REDBEE_DEVICE_ID, REDBEE_CONFIG_ID. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Redbee MCP's toolset — Server, Requirements — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Tamsi; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Redbee MCP's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
