How to Use the 4YouSee MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add the 4YouSee MCP Server to Claude Code?

Run the command claude mcp add --transport http 4yousee -- in your terminal. This registers the server in your local configuration so your agent can query the signage API.

Q: Does Claude Code allow batch updates to 4YouSee templates?

No, this server only exposes read tools like listtemplates. Claude Code can fetch the template structure and help you draft new layouts locally, but it cannot push changes back to the server.

Q: What configuration file does this use?

The server settings are stored in your local /.claude.json file. You can manually inspect or edit this file to manage your HTTP transport settings and authentication headers.

Query your 4YouSee screens and media metadata directly from the command line using Claude Code.

Headless Signage Monitoring with Claude Code

The `get_player` tool retrieves deep performance metrics for any specific screen from your terminal using the MCP Server. Claude Code executes this tool, pipes the raw JSON to your local shell, and alerts you to hardware failures. You can run this inside cron jobs or interactive terminal sessions. Your agent checks the display logs, formats the output, and writes a quick summary of the screen health.

Command-Line Media Queries via MCP Server

The `list_medias` tool outputs your entire asset library directly to your command line. Claude Code parses this output to find oversized files or broken links, saving you from heavy web interfaces. It turns complex content checks into simple shell commands. Your agent filters the JSON, finds assets uploaded today, and prints them in a clean terminal table.

Template and User Directory Audits

The `list_templates` tool grabs your active layout structures so you can inspect them without opening a browser. Claude Code pulls these templates alongside `list_users` to see which team members have access to which layouts. This gives you instant visibility into your system configuration. Your agent runs the checks, compares the permissions, and logs the results directly to your terminal screen.
