# Video Resource Server
![Screenshot](screenshot.png)
Demonstrates serving binary content (video) via MCP resources using the base64 blob pattern.
## MCP Client Configuration
Add to your MCP client configuration (stdio transport):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"video-resource": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"--silent",
"--registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-video-resource",
"--stdio"
]
}
}
}
```
## Quick Start
```bash
npm install
npm run dev
```
## Tools
- **play_video** - Plays a video loaded via MCP resource
- `videoId`: Choose from various sizes (`bunny-1mb`, `bunny-5mb`, `bunny-10mb`, etc.)
## How It Works
1. The `play_video` tool returns a `videoUri` pointing to an MCP resource
2. The view fetches the resource via `resources/read`
3. The server fetches the video from CDN and returns it as a base64 blob
4. The view decodes the blob and plays it in a `<video>` element
