Security note

MCP servers receive tool arguments from a conversation and may perform external actions. Review what a server can do before you enable it, and give it only the access it needs.

The registry verified the GitHub account Cast-Hub for this listing. That does not show the account is the product's maker.

SourceWeft's checks cover whether the listing is complete and the endpoint answered; they do not review the server's code or what its tools do.

Overview

AI-generated overview

CastHub MCP lets an AI assistant manage a CastHub digital signage network: TVs, presentations, schedules, device groups and emergency alerts.

What you can do: List, rename, move and delete devices, and send or schedule remote commands to Amazon Signage Sticks, including viewing command status and toggling command plans. Create, update and delete device groups. List, create, update and delete presentations, assign them to groups, and upload image or video slides through multi-step upload tools. List and assign schedules to groups, or remove and delete them. Set, start and stop alert presentations and text alerts for all groups or a single group. Check login status, user profile and subscription details, and get a dashboard overview or the current UTC time.
When to use it: Use it when you run screens through CastHub and want to change content, schedules or alerts by asking an assistant instead of clicking through the dashboard. It suits fleet-wide operations such as pushing a promotion to every store or firing an emergency alert to one group.
Requirements: The standard path is a hosted endpoint reached with OAuth 2.0 sign-in through the assistant, with no local install. For stdio-only clients, install the npm package globally and set the CASTHUB_API_KEY environment variable from the CastHub dashboard; CASTHUB_MCP_URL can override the endpoint. A CastHub account is needed.

Before you install

Many tools change or delete live signage data: deleting devices, groups, presentations and schedules, assigning content, and starting or stopping alerts that display immediately on screens. Treat alert and delete tools as disruptive and confirm before running them. The local install requires a CastHub API key, which should be kept out of shared configuration files. Tool execution happens on CastHub's servers.

Installation

In SourceWeft

Open CastHub in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

CastHub MCP Server

Model Context Protocol server for digital signage. Manage TV fleets, presentations, schedules, and emergency alerts from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Google Gemini, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.

What this is

CastHub MCP Server lets AI assistants directly control digital signage networks. Instead of clicking through a dashboard, you tell your assistant to update the lobby TV, push an emergency alert to all stores, or schedule next week's promotional content. The server exposes approximately 45 tools across devices, presentations, schedules, alerts, groups, and device commands, so the whole CastHub platform is reachable in natural language.

Why this exists

Digital signage management is repetitive, multi-step work that maps cleanly to natural language. Several signage platforms (Fugo, Revel Digital, Screenly) have shipped MCP support over the last year. CastHub differentiates in four ways. You connect to a hosted endpoint that uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, so you never paste an API key or run a local process for the standard path. Every tool ships with annotations (ReadOnly, Destructive, Idempotent) that drive proper confirmation prompts in each AI client before a disruptive action runs. Pricing is flat-rate with unlimited screens on the Pro plan rather than per-screen. And CastHub is an approved CMS partner on the Amazon Signage Stick.

Connect from any AI assistant

The CastHub MCP server is hosted at https://webapi.cast-hub.com/mcp. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and dynamic client registration, so you sign in once through your AI assistant and approve access. No API keys, no local install required for the standard path.

Connection instructions for each client are in the CastHub docs:

Connect Claude (web, Desktop, mobile)
Connect ChatGPT
Connect Microsoft Copilot (Copilot Studio and GitHub Copilot in VS Code)
Connect Google Gemini (Gemini Enterprise and Gemini CLI)
Connect Cursor
CastHub CLI for shell automation and CI

Full setup is at https://cast-hub.com/mcp.

Local install for stdio-only clients

For MCP clients that can only launch a local stdio process, install the SDK and point it at the hosted endpoint:

json

{  "mcpServers": {    "casthub": {      "command": "casthub-mcp",      "env": {        "CASTHUB_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"      }    }  }}

{  "mcpServers": {    "casthub": {      "command": "casthub-mcp",      "env": {        "CASTHUB_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"      }    }  }}

The SDK is a transport shim. All tool execution happens server-side at https://webapi.cast-hub.com/mcp.

Available tools

The server exposes approximately 45 tools across Devices, Device groups, Presentations, Schedules, Alerts, Device commands, and Account and dashboard. The authoritative tool list comes from calling tools/list against the live MCP server, which is the source of truth and may have grown since this README was last updated.
