They ask their agent to 'Send the fire drill message now.' The agent calls `create_playlist` with the emergency content and then uses `assign_playlist` to push it to all relevant screens, overriding current schedules. ### Seasonal Promotions The marketing team needs a new holiday campaign. They use their agent to 'Build a playlist using the 2025 images and set up a schedule for December 1st.' The agent calls `create_playlist` and then `create_schedule`, managing the entire rollout in two prompts. ### IT Troubleshooting An administrator notices screens are showing old content. They ask their agent to 'Check screen 003 and see what it's running.' The agent calls `get_screen_status` to confirm the issue, then uses `update_screen` if a physical setting needs tweaking. ### Content Cleanup An admin knows they have outdated menus and old videos. They ask their agent to 'List all media older than six months and delete it.' The agent calls `list_media`, filters the results, and executes `delete_media` for cleanup. ## Benefits - Stop checking dashboards manually. Use `get_screen_status` to get an instant, consolidated view of all screen connectivity issues in one query. - Coordinate marketing efforts instantly. You can use `create_playlist` with the latest assets and then assign it using `assign_playlist`, everything without manual steps. - Save time on updates. Instead of updating dozens of screens individually, you can list content groups using `list_groups` and push changes to all of them at once. - Audit your network history. Running `list_media` lets you quickly see every asset uploaded, which is crucial for IT compliance checks. - Set it and forget it. Use `create_schedule` to automatically cycle through promotional content during business hours, so you don't have to worry about daily manual adjustments. ## How It Works The bottom line is that once connected, you talk to your AI client, and it uses this MCP to perform complex actions on your signage network. 1. Subscribe to this MCP in Vinkius and provide your FusionSignage API Key. 2. Connect this MCP to your preferred AI client (like Cursor or Claude). 3. Tell your agent the task—for example, 'Check if screens 1 through 5 are online' or 'Create a new playlist with these three files'. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I check if my digital signs are working with get_screen_status?** You use `get_screen_status` to confirm connectivity and see what content is currently running. It tells you the screen's operational status (online/offline) and its current assigned playlist. **Can I set up rotating schedules using create_schedule?** Yes, `create_schedule` lets you define complex time-based rotations. You can specify that a certain playlist should run every Tuesday from 10 AM to 2 PM. **What is the difference between list_media and get_media_item?** `list_media` gives you an inventory of everything uploaded (like a catalog). `get_media_item` lets you pull specific metadata, like the file size or format, for one single asset. **How do I make changes to existing content using update_playlist?** You use `update_playlist` when you need to modify a playlist without recreating it. This allows you to swap out an old image for a new one or change the sequence order. **I need to push content to all screens in a building; should I use list_groups first?** Yes, running `list_groups` is smart. It lets you confirm the exact group names and IDs, making your subsequent commands more precise when assigning content or updates. **If I need to clean up outdated assets, how should I use the `delete_media` function?** You must first run list_media to verify which files you want gone. Then, using delete_media, specify the file ID and confirm deletion; this action is permanent, so double-check your targets. **When setting up, how can I get complete configuration data for one specific display using `get_screen`?** The get_screen function provides all deep details about a single display unit. It shows hardware IDs, network settings, and current assigned content, which is vital for troubleshooting setup issues. **If I want to send a new campaign to just a few specific monitors, what is the correct way to use `assign_playlist`?** You must provide both the playlist ID and the target screen IDs when calling assign_playlist. This ensures the content only appears on the intended displays, keeping other screens unaffected. **Can I monitor which screens are online or offline in real time?** Yes. Use `list_screens` to see all screens with their current online/offline status and assigned content. For a specific screen, use `get_screen_status` to check real-time connectivity and playback status. Use `get_screen` for detailed configuration including orientation and playlist assignment. **Can I create a playlist and assign it to a screen?** Yes. Use `create_playlist` with a JSON payload containing name and media items. Then use `assign_playlist` with the screen ID and playlist ID to push it to a display. Use `update_playlist` to modify content order or add new media, and `delete_playlist` to remove unused playlists. **Can I schedule content to play at specific times?** Yes. The `create_schedule` tool accepts a JSON configuration with time slots, playlist rotations, and screen assignments. Use `list_schedules` to view all active schedules. Combine with `list_groups` to manage multiple screens simultaneously through group assignments.
