Anyone else running Claude Code with an MCP server?
I wanted to give Claude spatial awareness of my property so it could reason about which cameras should fire together when something moves through the yard. This works for anyone running the bi-mcp server because Claude can pull each camera's config, motion sensitivity, AI zones and alert history... -
Anyone else running Claude Code with an MCP server?
Quick update for anyone watching this thread: bi-mcp 0.2.0 is now on PyPI. You can install it with pipx install bi-mcp (or uv tool install bi-mcp) instead of the git+https://... form from the first post. Same code, same tools, just easier to grab. Nothing has changed about how it runs or what... -
Anyone else running Claude Code with an MCP server?
Update: I went ahead and pushed it. Repo is at https://github.com/whoamiTM/bi-mcp Important caveat up front: this is built and tested against Blue Iris 5.9.9.71 only. v6 is out but I'm not planning to update my own install until the end of the year, so I won't be testing against it until then... -
Anyone else running Claude Code with an MCP server?
Posting this in the AI subforum on purpose, since the audience here is more likely to actually have opinions on agent tooling than the general Blue Iris room. Curious how many folks here are using Claude Code (or any LLM agent) with MCP servers. I've been building one over the last few weeks... -
Combining ONVIF & Motion Sensor & AI
I seem to be having good luck using a clone for my PTZ, I have the clone doing AI alerts and the master doing the PTZ movements to preset which are called by the spotters. The only reason for the clone is so I can use "Skip alerts while this preset is active" on the master so the PTZ doesn't get...- whoami ™

Decoding integer fields in Alerts\OnTrigger registry — does a community reference exist?
@jaydeel — this is gold, thank you. That's a huge chunk of the BI .reg surface decoded in one post, and it lined up with the empirical values I'd been seeing in my own exports almost exactly. I just landed all of it in the MCP server. Now decoded: web_proto1 — 0=http, 1=https, 2=mqtt (good to... -
I don't think a "Smart Home" and Home Automation is the same thing
I guess it all comes down to skill level and the types of thing a person is exposed to. I would put my HomeAssistant setup in the top 10%, and there are some things I run on the cloud. But I also have a segregated network behind pfsense with white listed firewall rules and intrusion detection...- whoami ™

Decoding integer fields in Alerts\OnTrigger registry — does a community reference exist?
I'm kind of excited about this MCP server, I would have it finished, but I have to build it in stages because I'm not paying for extra usage credits for this. I'm obviously running this thing in Claude Code. I believe this thing is going to be POWERFUL, its hard at this point to imagine all the... -
Decoding integer fields in Alerts\OnTrigger registry — does a community reference exist?
I've been building an MCP server (bi-mcp) that lets an AI agent read Blue Iris config from the camera .reg exports, including the per-camera action sets under Alerts\OnTrigger\<N> and Alerts\OnReset\<N>. Most of the schema is self-explanatory once you've seen a few exports — web_path... -
Does TinyCam support deep links that could be used with Home Assistant Android TV Remote intergration?
The androidtv_remote integration doesn't have an ADB command service — it only supports remote.turn_on with a URI/activity. So the only working call without ADB is: action: remote.turn_on target: entity_id: remote.shieldtv_lr data: activity... -
Does TinyCam support deep links that could be used with Home Assistant Android TV Remote intergration?
I'd like to launch a specific camera directly from an external app (Home Assistant) without requiring ADB debug mode. TinyCam already supports com.alexvas.dvr.intent.extra.CAMERA_ID via LiveViewActivity, but this requires ADB shell access because there's no URI scheme that maps to it... -
Check FPS and Key rates Dahua 5442 error after upgrading BI from 5.3 to 5.9
I would greatly appreciate it if someone with the level of expertise could share their settings with me for Dahua 5442. Below are my settings which haven't been changed in years and I have forgotten everything I once knew about the subject. At the moment I dont have BI set up for Sub Stream...- whoami ™

[tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris
TLDR: Old Deepstack good, CodeProject AI bad. Over the last couple weeks I've been testing out versions of Deepstack and CPAI. I even bought a new GPU, a RTX A2000 12GB, to replace my Quadro P400 to see if the limiting factor for me with CPAI was my 2GB Pascal series P400. So far it appears it... -
CodeProject.AI Version 2.5
Im still working with an old version of BI, with latest version of AIToo,l and 1st GPU version of Deepstack, which for me, is rock solid reliable.... (2nd Deepstack GPU version has a memory leak.) I figured enough time passed to work out all the issues with CPAI so I started testing last week... -
[tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris
Is it possible to run multiple instances of CodeProject AI like it is Deepstack? Ive been using Deepstack all this time running 4 instances at once but figured CPAI has been around long enough to be a better option but with my first testing I cant see how to run multiple instances of the same...
