Bitmovin Observability

About

Connects to Bitmovin Observability (video analytics) and lets an assistant query playback metrics for a license over a time range. It can return time series, aggregated totals, and breakdowns by category such as browser or device, including ad metrics. It can also list individual playback sessions (impressions) and analyze one in detail.

Runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at analytics.mcp.bitmovin.com. The registry entry lists an x-api-key header, found in Account Settings in the Bitmovin Dashboard. All listed tools are read-only. Bundled prompts cover license summaries, daily checks and impression comparison.

What you can do

• Chart a metric as a time series over a date range
• Get totals, averages or percentiles for one or more metrics
• Group metrics by categories such as browser or device
• List all licenses with recent play counts
• List playback session ids with filters
• Analyze a single session with a state timeline and interpretation
• Search the metric and filter catalogs for exact keywords

HTML

<a href="https://mcp.tc/i/bitmovin-observability"><img src="https://mcp.tc/i/bitmovin-observability/badge.svg" alt="Bitmovin Observability on mcp.tc" height="20"></a>

It follows the reader’s light or dark mode. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to fix it, or ?style=compact to show the mark without the word.

Website card

HTML

<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/bitmovin-observability.js" async></script>

The card appears where the tag is. Add data-theme="dark" or data-size="compact" to the tag to change it. The file holds everything it needs, so it makes no other requests and sets no cookies.

iframe

HTML

<iframe src="https://mcp.tc/embed/bitmovin-observability" title="Bitmovin Observability on mcp.tc" width="420" height="200" loading="lazy" allow="clipboard-write" style="border:0;border-radius:8px;max-width:100%"></iframe>

Use it on pages that don’t allow scripts. Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to the address to fix the colors.

JSON

The listing as data for your own pages and tools: name, tagline, the server’s own URL, tools and the “Add to” links. Any site can read it (CORS is open).

AI prompt

Paste this into an AI coding assistant, such as Claude Code or Cursor, and it adds the Bitmovin Observability card to your site.

Markdown

Add the mcp.tc card for Bitmovin Observability, an MCP server, to my website. It is one static script: no build step, no package to install, no cookies.

Put this tag where the card should appear. The card renders right before it:

```html
<script src="https://mcp.tc/w/bitmovin-observability.js" async></script>
```

To show the card somewhere else, put this placeholder there and load the same script once, for example before `</body>`. Keep the link inside: visitors without JavaScript see it.

```html
<div data-mcptc="bitmovin-observability"><a href="https://mcp.tc/i/bitmovin-observability">Bitmovin Observability on mcp.tc</a></div>
```

Options:
- `data-theme="light"` or `"dark"` on the tag or the placeholder fixes the colors. Without it, the card follows the visitor’s light or dark mode.
- `data-size="compact"` gives a smaller card without the tagline.
- The CSS variable `--mcptc-max-width` on the placeholder or a parent sets the width (default `520px`).
- `?lang=` on the script URL sets the card’s language: `en`, `it`, `fr`, `de` or `es`.

If the site has a Content Security Policy, allow `script-src https://mcp.tc` and `img-src data:` (the icon is inline).

For a README or other Markdown docs, use the badge instead:
