Bitmovin has announced the Stream Lab MCP Server.
Built with all-in-one MCP (Model Context Protocol) cloud platform, Alpic, the solution enables AI agents and LLMs to use Bitmovin’s Stream Lab with no requirement for integration code of manual test setup. Real tasks can be undertaken using natural language commands, enabling testing and playback analysys on over 30 physical test targets including Samsung, LG and Vizio TVs, web browsers and games consoles.
When combined with Bitmovin’s Observability MCP Server, Stream Lab MCP Server allows AI agents to access real-world quality of experience (QoE) data, enhancing Stream Lab testing by, for example, prioritising tests on devices where viewers are experiencing the most issues and measuring the impact of changes.
Commenting, James Varndell, senior director of product management at Bitmovin, said, “Bitmovin’s automated video stream testing solution Stream Lab already replaces slow manual testing processes with fully automated testing on physical devices. Now, with the launch of the Stream Lab MCP, we’re giving our customers a powerful new way to control playback testing using simple commands in everyday language without human intervention.
“With Stream Lab’s MCP Server video services can enable MCP-compatible AI tools such as Claude to interact with Stream Lab tests using natural language to explore test devices, create and run tests, and analyse test reports. This makes agentic AI practical at scale.”
