What is the Twitch MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire streaming ecosystem on Twitch, the world's leading live streaming platform. By connecting Twitch to your agent, you transform complex channel management into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly list live streams, audit your follower base, and retrieve top clips without you ever touching a dashboard. Whether you are a full-time creator or a community manager, your agent acts as a real-time channel coordinator, ensuring your community engagement is always monitored and your content library is organized.
What you can do
- Stream Auditing — List live streams by user or game and retrieve real-time viewer counts and statuses.
- Community Oversight — Query your follower base, audit channel moderators, and check subscriber details instantly.
- Content Management — List all videos and top clips for any broadcaster to stay on top of your highlights.
- Channel Intelligence — Retrieve detailed metadata for channels and users to maintain strict organizational control.
- Discovery Monitoring — Search for channels and list top games to understand platform trends in real-time.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my Twitch Client ID and Access Token?
Go to the Twitch Developer Console, create an App, and generate a Client Secret to get an App Access Token or perform the OAuth flow for a User Token. Copy and paste them below.
Can the agent check if a channel is live?
Yes. Use the get_streams tool providing the user login. Your agent will return real-time status, including viewer count and game title if the channel is live.
Is it possible to list top clips via the agent?
Yes. The get_clips tool allows your agent to retrieve the most popular clips for a specific broadcaster, helping you identify trending content moments.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
