Control your screen fleet from Claude Desktop

Check on physical FusionSignage displays without logging into a separate web console using Claude Desktop. Ask your Claude Desktop agent using this MCP Server to run `get_screen_status` to see which retail monitors are online or verify their current playback settings using `get_screen`. If a retail screen goes dark in the Chicago store, tell the Claude Desktop agent to update it. The `update_screen` tool modifies display configurations instantly, while `list_screens` gives you a quick bird's-eye view of your entire FusionSignage deployment via Claude Desktop.

Build playlists and schedules in your chat window

Stop clicking through web menus to coordinate FusionSignage media assets on Claude Desktop. Use this MCP Server so your Claude Desktop agent calls `create_playlist` and `update_playlist` to organize images and videos for your next marketing push. Time everything perfectly by executing `create_schedule` and `list_schedules` inside your Claude Desktop chat. The Claude Desktop agent handles the back-and-forth, linking your FusionSignage media files to specific times so you do not have to copy-paste IDs.

Manage your media library with simple commands

Keep your media storage clean by letting your Claude Desktop agent run `list_media` via this MCP connection to audit active FusionSignage files. If you spot outdated promotional videos on your FusionSignage screens, the Claude Desktop agent calls `delete_media` to wipe them. Pull specific FusionSignage asset metadata with `get_media_item` before pushing content to live displays from your Claude Desktop app. This keeps your FusionSignage digital signage organized and prevents old assets from cluttering your local Claude Desktop workflow.
