What is the EyePop.ai MCP Server?
Connect your EyePop.ai account to any AI agent and take full control of your real-time computer vision orchestration and automated visual intelligence through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Visual Analysis Orchestration — List and manage your entire portfolio of visual models (Pops) programmatically, retrieving detailed detection metadata
- Media Stream Intelligence — Programmatically trigger and monitor real-time media stream processing to maintain a perfectly coordinated visual knowledge pipeline
- Object Detection Architecture Monitoring — Access real-time status updates for detected objects and track confidence scores directly through your agent
- Metadata Management — Programmatically retrieve bounding box coordinates and classification IDs to maintain a perfectly coordinated data record
- Operational Monitoring — Verify account-level API connectivity and monitor visual processing volume directly through your agent for perfectly coordinated service scaling
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Retrieve your API Key from your EyePop.ai dashboard (Profile > API Keys)
3. Start orchestrating your visual intelligence from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No more manual reviewing of video frames or missing critical object detections. Your AI acts as your dedicated visual coordinator and computer vision architect.
Who is this for?
- Security & Ops Managers — instantly retrieve detection summaries and monitor visual alerts using natural language commands
- Retail Analysts — verify individual foot traffic metadata and track customer behavior without leaving your creative workspace
- Developers — integrate high-speed EyePop.ai vision data into custom monitoring and alerting tools through simple AI queries

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my EyePop.ai API Key?
Log in to your account, click on your profile, and copy your unique API Key from the developer section.
Can I check object detection results via AI?
Yes! The list_detections tool allows your agent to retrieve metadata including object classes and confidence scores for any media stream.
How do I list my active Pops?
Use the list_pops tool to retrieve your complete directory along with the unique identifiers for all managed visual pipelines.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
