Perplexity

Real-time stream discovery and categorization

The `get_live_rooms` tool gives your agent instant access to active broadcasts. You pass a category ID from `get_stream_categories` to filter down the noise. Instead of guessing which esports events are live, Claude queries the directory directly. This lets you build immediate dashboards or filter live streams based on current viewer counts without opening a browser.

Deep room metrics and chat configuration in Claude Desktop

Run the `get_room_detail` tool to extract title, status, and viewer counts for specific channels. If you need to plug into the live chat, `get_danmu_config` pulls the exact WebSocket parameters required to connect to the bullet-chat servers. This MCP Server handles the platform's API signature requirements behind the scenes. Your agent gets raw, structured room data, letting you track viewer spikes during major tournaments.

Audience monetization and user telemetry

Use the `get_top_donators` tool to pull the weekly leaderboard of top tippers for any room. To drill down on specific audience members, `get_user_stats` retrieves profile details and engagement history. This MCP setup helps you map out streamer revenue patterns and viewer retention metrics directly inside your chat window. You can also pull the complete directory of active virtual items using `get_gift_list`.
