MCP Camera Service

功能简介

本项目是基于 Node.js/TypeScript 的多协议摄像头控制服务，严格遵循 Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK，支持：

摄像头枚举、拍照、录像（文件/推流）等能力
MCP 工具接口（listCameras、takePhoto、startVideo、stopVideo）
多种传输模式：stdio、HTTP、SSE
支持 Windows（dshow）和 Linux（v4l2）
支持多实例并发录像、推流
丰富的环境变量配置，日志可定制
录像推流支持 streamUrl，客户端可用 httpx/curl/ffmpeg/ffplay 拉流

环境依赖

Node.js 16+
ffmpeg（需已安装并在 PATH 或通过 ffmpeg-static 提供）
推荐 Windows 10+/Linux，需有摄像头设备

安装与启动

npm install
# 配置 .env 文件（见下文）
npm run build
npm start # 或 npm run start:http

.env 配置说明

在您的本地执行时,请将.env.sample复制为.env,然后配置为您需求的参数.

# HTTP 服务端口
PORT=3001
# MCP 服务名/版本
MCP_SERVER_NAME=mcp-camera-server
MCP_SERVER_VERSION=1.0.0
# 日志等级与文件
LOG_LEVEL=info
LOG_FILEPATH=./camera.log
# 拍照/录像文件前缀与目录
PHOTO_PREFIX=image

# 录像上下文自动清理时间（秒）
FINISHED_VIDEO_CLEAN_SPAN_SECOND=1800
# 推流URL超时时间（毫秒）
STREAM_URL_EXPIRE_MS=300000

主要 MCP 工具接口

1. listCameras - 枚举摄像头

功能说明: 列出所有可用的摄像头设备

输入参数: 无

输出参数:

cameras: 摄像头列表
- cameraID: 摄像头编号
- name: 设备名称
- description: 设备描述

2. takePhoto - 拍照功能

功能说明: 从指定摄像头拍摄照片并保存

输入参数:

cameraID: 摄像头编号
filepath: 照片保存目录路径

输出参数:

success: 操作是否成功
imagePath: 照片保存路径(成功时返回)
error: 错误信息(失败时返回)

3. startVideo - 开始录像/推流

功能说明: 启动视频录制或实时推流

输入参数:

cameraID: 摄像头编号
filepath: 录像文件保存路径(可选，不传则启动推流模式)
duration: 录像时长(毫秒，可选)

输出参数(文件模式):

success: 操作是否成功
videoPath: 视频文件路径
videoID: 录像会话ID

输出参数(推流模式):

success: 操作是否成功
videoID: 录像会话ID
streamUrl: 推流访问地址

4. stopVideo - 停止录像/推流

功能说明: 停止正在进行的录像或推流

输入参数:

videoID: 录像会话ID(startVideo返回)

输出参数:

success: 操作是否成功
message: 操作结果消息
videoPath: 视频文件路径(文件模式时存在)
error: 错误信息(失败时返回)

MCP 工具接口测试方法

下载本仓库后,进入仓库根目录cd myCameraNodejs
使用npm link . 链接为全局命令
请通过npx modelcontextprotocol/inspector启动modelcontextprotocol/inspector进行测试：

在界面中:
- Transport Type: 选择STDIO
- Command: 选择npx
- Arguments: 输入mcp-camera-server

点击Connect按钮，即可连接到摄像头服务。如果通过npx run start:sse启动服务，URL填入http://127.0.0.1:3001/sse(注意3001由.env中PORT指定)

视频流测试方法

1. 用 curl 保存为 ts 文件

curl http://localhost:3001/video/stream?videoID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx -o output.ts

2. 用 ffplay 直接播放

ffplay http://localhost:3001/video/stream?videoID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

3. 用 ffmpeg 保存为 mp4 文件

直接转码为 mp4（推荐）

ffmpeg -i "http://localhost:3001/video/stream?videoID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" -c:v libx264 -preset veryfast -crf 23 -f mp4 output.mp4

只保存为 ts 文件（无需转码，最快）

ffmpeg -i "http://localhost:3001/video/stream?videoID=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" -c copy output.ts

常见问题与排查

ffplay/ffmpeg 报 Invalid data found when processing input
- 请确认服务端推流格式为 mpegts（已修正）
streamUrl 只能消费一次/超时失效
- 设计如此，需重新调用 startVideo 获取新 streamUrl
摄像头找不到/拍照失败
- 请先用 listCameras 获取 cameraID，确保 ffmpeg 能识别
录像文件无法播放
- 建议用 ffmpeg/ffplay 转码或播放
推流超时时间/录像上下文清理时间
- 可通过 .env 配置 STREAM_URL_EXPIRE_MS、FINISHED_VIDEO_CLEAN_SPAN_SECOND

其它说明

支持多实例并发录像/推流
日志详尽，便于排查
支持 Windows/Linux，自动适配 dshow/v4l2
支持 MCP stdio/http/sse 多种模式
