Using as an MCP Server

The MCP Server can be run in two modes: stdio (for local testing) or http (for networked access).

Environment Variables

• OWNCAST_URL: The URL of the target service.
• OWNCAST_TOKEN: The API token or access token.

Run in stdio mode (default):

export OWNCAST_URL="http://localhost:8080"
export OWNCAST_TOKEN="your_token"
owncast-mcp --transport "stdio"

Run in HTTP mode:

export OWNCAST_URL="http://localhost:8080"
export OWNCAST_TOKEN="your_token"
owncast-mcp --transport "http" --host "0.0.0.0" --port "8000"

A2A Agent

Run A2A Server

export OWNCAST_URL="http://localhost:8080"
export OWNCAST_TOKEN="your_token"
owncast-agent --provider openai --model-id gpt-4o --api-key sk-...
