UBOS Asset Marketplace: MCP Server - Your Gateway to Live Streaming Data for AI Agents

In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI and machine learning, the ability to access and process real-time data streams is becoming increasingly critical. At UBOS, we understand this need and are proud to feature the MCP Server on our Asset Marketplace, a powerful tool designed to extract live streaming data from a variety of popular platforms. This seamless integration empowers you to enhance your AI Agents with dynamic, real-time insights, opening up a world of possibilities for innovative applications.

What is MCP Server?

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server acts as a conduit, facilitating the extraction of real-time streaming media addresses from leading platforms such as Douyu, Huya, Bilibili, Douyin (TikTok), NetEase CC, Kuaishou, Huajiao, and Inke. It provides the essential ‘live source’ data needed to power a range of applications. The server offers flexibility through CLI (command-line interface), GUI (graphical user interface), and dedicated server programs tailored to specific use cases. This enables seamless integration with popular media players like MPV, PotPlayer, and flv.js, making it exceptionally versatile.

Originally conceived as the SBtream project, MCP Server has undergone significant evolution. Early iterations using Python proved immature, while a Java-based rewrite faced roadblocks. The current version is rebuilt using Rust, ensuring improved performance, stability, and maintainability.

Technical Details:

The MCP Server offers both a CLI and GUI for ease of use. The CLI allows for direct querying of stream URLs:

bash ❯ .seam.exe -l douyu -i 88080 [ { “rate”: “超清1”, “url”: “http://url1” }, { “rate”: “超清2”, “url”: “http://url2” } ]

The configuration file (config.toml) allows for extensive customization, including:

• Player Path: Specify the path to your preferred media player (e.g., MPV, PotPlayer).
• Headers: Configure HTTP headers, including user-agent and cookies (required for some platforms like Douyin and Kuaishou).
• File Naming: Customize the naming convention for recorded videos and danmu (chat) files.

Getting Started:

1. Download: Download the latest GUI/CLI executable from the Releases page.
2. Configure: Edit the config.toml file to configure your player path, headers, and other settings.
3. Run: Execute the CLI or GUI to extract live streaming data from your desired platform.
4. Integrate with UBOS: Connect MCP Server to your UBOS AI Agents to unlock the full potential of real-time streaming data.
