Features

  • Control Canon cameras remotely via CCAPI.
  • Expose camera functions over HTTP using FastMCP.
  • Image compression and streaming support.

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • Canon camera with CCAPI enabled (CCAPI activation guide)
  • See requirements.txt for Python dependencies.

Setup

  1. Install dependencies:
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  2. Activate CCAPI on your Canon camera:
  3. Configure camera IP:
    • Set the CANON_IP environment variable to your camera’s IP address, or pass it as an argument.

Usage

To run the server with Claude Desktop Client

{ "mcpServers": { "Canon Camera Controller": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/dir", "run", "server.py" ], "env": { "CANON_IP": "192.168.0.111" } } } }

Or with plain Python:

python server.py

  • server.py: FastMCP HTTP server exposing camera controls.
  • requirements.txt: Python dependencies.

Extending the project

The license terms of CCAPI access do not permit sharing the API reference.

Once you have access, it's quite straightforward to get it working.
