streamlabs-mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants direct control over Streamlabs Desktop — switch scenes, show/hide sources, adjust audio, start/stop streaming or recording, manage studio mode, and more.

It talks to Streamlabs Desktop's own local Remote Control API (the same one used by Streamlabs' official mobile remote-control app), so no unofficial hacks or screen automation are involved.

This is not a Claude-only tool. MCP is an open, model-agnostic protocol, so this server works with any MCP-compatible client — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or anything else that can spawn a local stdio MCP server.

Disclaimer: This is an independent, community project. It is not made or endorsed by Streamlabs. Use at your own risk — some tools (e.g. streamlabs_toggle_streaming) can start/stop your live stream, so give your AI assistant clear instructions about when it's allowed to use them.

Features

59 tools covering scenes, scene items (position/scale/rotation/crop), sources, audio, streaming/recording, replay buffer, studio mode, scene collections, notifications, and performance stats.
Pure stdio MCP server — no cloud relay, no external service. Your assistant talks directly to Streamlabs Desktop over your own machine's loopback connection.
Zero configuration beyond a single token.

Prerequisites

Streamlabs Desktop installed and running on the same machine.
Node.js 18 or newer.
An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.).

1. Enable Remote Control in Streamlabs Desktop

Open Streamlabs Desktop.
Go to Settings -> Remote Control.
Click the QR code, then Show details.
Copy the token shown there. Treat this like a password — anyone with it can control your stream.

2. Install

git clone https://github.com/AhmadTariq1337/streamlabs-mcp.git
cd streamlabs-mcp
npm install

3. Configure your MCP client

This server reads two environment variables:

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`STREAMLABS_TOKEN`	Yes	—	The token from step 1.
`STREAMLABS_HOST`	No	`127.0.0.1:59650`	Host:port of the Streamlabs Desktop API.

Point your MCP client at node <path-to-this-folder>/index.js with STREAMLABS_TOKEN set. Examples below.

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config (Claude Desktop: Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config; Claude Code: your project or user mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "streamlabs": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/streamlabs-mcp/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "STREAMLABS_TOKEN": "paste-your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart your client afterward.

Cursor

Same shape, in Cursor's mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "streamlabs": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/streamlabs-mcp/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "STREAMLABS_TOKEN": "paste-your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Any other MCP client

This is a standard stdio MCP server — configure your client to run:

node /absolute/path/to/streamlabs-mcp/index.js

with STREAMLABS_TOKEN (and optionally STREAMLABS_HOST) set in its environment. That's all any MCP client needs.

4. Test it

With Streamlabs Desktop running, ask your assistant something like "list my Streamlabs scenes" or "what's my current streaming status?".

Troubleshooting

Connection times out: Streamlabs Desktop must be running with Remote Control enabled (step 1). Check that Windows Firewall isn't blocking Node from opening a local connection to the port.
Auth error: the token may have been regenerated since you copied it — grab the current one from Settings -> Remote Control.
Different port: set STREAMLABS_HOST if your Streamlabs Desktop build listens elsewhere, e.g. "127.0.0.1:PORT".
A specific tool errors on a newer Streamlabs Desktop version: the underlying API is Streamlabs' internal service layer and isn't a versioned public contract, so a method name can occasionally change between releases. Open an issue with the error message, or send a PR.

Security note

STREAMLABS_TOKEN grants full remote control of your stream (including going live). Keep it out of version control — .gitignore already excludes .env. Use .env.example as a template.
