Live streaming MCP server

Just ask Claude or ChatGPT to run your 24/7 stream

Add one address to the AI app you already use, sign in, and ask. It starts and schedules your loops, sets the play order, adds platforms and edits your Live Scenes, right in your Streamloop dashboard. No API key to paste.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code and other apps that connect to remote MCP servers with sign-in.

Claude

Add my own RTMP server as a fifth destination.

  1. Saved the server address and stream key
  2. Added it to the stream

Done. It goes out with the other four the next time the stream starts.

An example conversation. Your assistant puts it in its own words.

Set a weekly scheduleLive Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00 New York time.

Connect once with one address. Your assistant signs in as you and works in one of your workspaces at a time.

Connect your app in three steps

Paste the server address, sign in to Streamloop and approve. There is no API key, and nothing to install for Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor.

Server addresshttps://mcp.streamloop.app/mcp
  1. Add a custom connector (MCP server) with the server address.
  2. Sign in to Streamloop and approve when ChatGPT asks.

Try this first. It only reads:Which streams do I have, and which are live?

The screen you approve. It lists what the app asks for.

Ask for the play order

Tell it which video comes first and what never plays twice in a row. It checks the order against your playlist and puts it on air without stopping the stream. Inside the dashboard, Smart order does the same when you ask.

Ask where it streams

Up to 5 platforms per stream, one of them a YouTube channel. Your assistant adds or removes them while the stream is stopped and can turn one off while live. Each extra platform costs extra.

Change a Live Scene by asking

Your assistant edits the scene in a draft, looks at a picture of the frame with any problems flagged, and publishes when you say so. On air, it can cut between frames. Inside the studio, the Scenes assistant does the same when you ask.

The studio it edits

A frame with sources and overlays on it: an OBS feed, a browser page, a lower third, a logo. Your assistant adds, moves and renames layers in the draft, the same way you drag them here.

The Scenes assistant

Inside the studio, the assistant builds and edits the scene from plain language, in a draft. A person publishes. It never sees your stream keys.

Put the OBS feed full frame, add my logo top right and a backup playlist if the feed drops.

Overlays it can place

Text, tickers, clocks, countdowns, images and Lottie animations. Ask for a lower third with tonight's show name, and it lands in the draft.

What it can touch, and what it can't

Access works the same way for every app you connect.

  • You approve it first

    The app opens Streamloop's sign-in and asks for access. You allow or deny what it asks for as a whole.

  • Take it back any time

    Settings, then Connected apps, then Revoke. The app loses its access.

  • Deletes need a second yes

    Deleting a stream, a video or a scene is refused until it is confirmed. So is publishing or reverting a scene that a live stream is playing.

  • It can't spend your money

    It cannot buy credits or change your plan. A stream it starts uses credits like any other.

  • Stream keys stay hidden

    Keys you add are stored encrypted and never read back. The app can use a destination, not see its key.

  • Some steps stay with you

    Connecting YouTube needs your Google sign-in, and a file on your computer may need you to open an upload link.

Questions before you connect

Try it on your own stream
What is a live streaming MCP server?

MCP lets an AI app use another product's actions. Streamloop's server is at https://mcp.streamloop.app/mcp. Once you connect it, your assistant can start, stop and schedule streams, edit playlists and the play order, add platforms, import videos from links, edit Live Scenes and check your credits.

Which AI apps does it work with?

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code, plus other apps that connect to remote MCP servers with sign-in. Each app has its own setup steps.

Do I need an API key or to install anything?

No API key. You sign in to Streamloop and approve. Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor need nothing installed. Claude Code needs the Streamloop plugin or one command.

Can it delete things or spend my money?

Deleting a stream, a video or a scene is refused until it is confirmed, and so is publishing or reverting a scene that a live stream plays. It cannot buy credits or change your plan. Starting a stream uses credits as usual, so ask for it when you mean it. You can remove its access in Settings, under Connected apps.

Can it upload my videos?

It can import from a Google Drive, Yandex Disk, YouTube or direct link, up to 15 GB a file, and cut a clip from a YouTube link. For a file on your computer, it uploads the file itself when your app can send files, up to 5 GB. Otherwise it gives you a link to upload it yourself.

Does it handle multistreaming and Live Scenes?

Yes. A stream can go to up to 5 platforms, one of them a YouTube channel. Add or remove them while the stream is stopped, or turn one off while live. Each extra platform costs extra. For Live Scenes it builds and changes layouts, shows you a picture of the frame, publishes, and switches frames on air.

What does it cost?

Nothing extra. You pay for streaming the same way as in the dashboard: by the minute, only while live. See all prices on the pricing section.

What can it not do?

It cannot buy credits, read encoder logs, bitrate or chat, or add and remove platforms while live. Titles, privacy and viewer counts work only for a YouTube channel connected with Google sign-in, and that sign-in needs you.

Ask your assistant to start your first loop

Streaming is billed by the minute, only while live: one 24/7 stream at 1080p is about $10 per 30 days. Start with a $1 trial week, which becomes a monthly plan unless you cancel, or top up and pay as you go.
