LABSCO SUMMARY

The precise mode is the reason to reach for it.

General search on Bilibili returns everything adjacent to your query, which is fine for browsing and useless for identification. The exact-match mode restricts results to true matches and tells you in a dedicated field whether it found one — so an assistant can say "no such user" instead of confidently returning the closest thing. Danmaku access is the other distinctive piece: the comment stream is where a video's audience reaction actually lives.

What it is

An MCP server over the Bilibili API. Besides ordinary keyword search it offers a precise mode that filters out near-matches, which is what makes searching for a user with a common name usable.

What you get

Keyword search across Bilibili — general_search
User search that can be sorted by follower count, for telling apart accounts with similar names — search_user
Exact-match search across users, videos, live rooms and columns, returning an exact_match field so the caller knows whether a true match was found — get_precise_results
Danmaku — the scrolling comments overlaid on a video — pulled for a given video — get_video_danmaku

Requirements

No account and no key. uv for dependency management: clone the repository, run uv sync, then register uv in your client with --directory pointing at the clone and bilibili.py as the script to run. The package is bilibili-mcp-server (version 0.1.0).

Setup effort

Build from source — git clone https://github.com/chenmingkong/bilibili-mcp-server.git

See installation options

USE CASES

01

Identifying an account by exact name

Run the precise user search and read the exact-match flag, rather than accepting the top fuzzy result.

02

Finding videos on a topic

Search by keyword, then narrow with the precise video mode when the general results are too broad.

03

Reading how an audience reacted

Pull the danmaku for the video to see the comments viewers left at each moment.
