65 tools over Red Bee Media's Exposure API — catalog search, EPG, entitlements, profiles and purchases.

ERP & Vertical Business Systems
Summary
Operator-side breadth, not a viewer's remote control.

The catalog and EPG tools are what most people will reach for, but the list keeps going into account creation, payment methods and subscription cancellation — this is the whole Exposure surface, not a curated slice. That makes it strong for building or debugging an OTT integration, and worth scoping carefully before you point it at production, since the same session that searches for a film can also cancel a subscription.

What it is

A broad client for the Red Bee Media OTT platform, aligned tool-for-tool with the Exposure API. It covers the whole customer-facing surface of a streaming service: authenticating a viewer, searching the catalog, reading the EPG, resolving playback entitlements, managing profiles and preferences, and going through purchases and payment methods. It can run for a local assistant over stdio or as an HTTP/SSE service for a web app — or both at once.

What you get
  • `search_content_v2` runs free-text search including descriptions; `search_assets_autocomplete` and `search_multi_v3` cover title autocomplete and prefix search across assets and tags
  • `get_asset_details`, `get_seasons_for_series`, `get_episodes_for_season` and `get_next_episode` walk a series
  • `get_epg_for_channel` and `get_epg_all_channels` read the guide; `get_active_channels` and `get_channel_onnow` report what is live
  • `get_playback_info` resolves the play entitlement for an asset and `entitle_asset` grants it
  • `login_user`, `create_anonymous_session`, `validate_session_token` and `logout_user` handle sessions
  • `get_watch_next`, `get_user_recommendations` and `get_continue_watching` build the discovery rails
  • `get_user_profiles`, `add_user_profile`, `set_user_preferences` and `add_asset_to_list` manage profiles, preferences and watchlists
  • `get_offerings`, `purchase_product_offering`, `get_active_purchases` and `add_payment_method` cover the commerce path
Requirements

`REDBEE_CUSTOMER` and `REDBEE_BUSINESS_UNIT` are required — they identify which operator's platform you are talking to. Run it with `uvx redbee-mcp --stdio` or `pip install redbee-mcp` (package `redbee-mcp`, version 1.5.0); `--http` starts a JSON-RPC endpoint on port 8000 with an `/sse` stream and a `/health` check, and `--both` runs both transports together. Viewer credentials are optional: `REDBEE_USERNAME` and `REDBEE_PASSWORD`, or an existing `REDBEE_SESSION_TOKEN`. Public catalog reads work from an anonymous session.

Setup effort

One command plus a key — pip install redbee-mcp, then supply credentials
