@vtclab/analyzer-mcp

MCP server that lets AI agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, any MCP client) analyze local media files with the VTCLab Media Analyzer engine: containers, video/audio/subtitle streams, and packet-level headers. Free to use.

This package is a thin launcher: on first run it downloads the prebuilt binary for your platform from the public releases (pinned to this package's version, checksum-verified), caches it, and runs it.

Usage

Claude Code:

claude mcp add media-analyzer -- npx -y @vtclab/analyzer-mcp

Claude Desktop or any other MCP client (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "media-analyzer": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@vtclab/analyzer-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Prefer a plain binary (no Node required)? Use the installer instead:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/vtclab/analyzer-public/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

Environment variables

• ANALYZER_MCP_BINARY — path to an existing analyzer_mcp binary (skips the download)
• ANALYZER_MCP_CACHE_DIR — where downloaded binaries are cached
• RUST_LOG=debug — raise server log verbosity (logs go to stderr)
