OBSBOT Webcam MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to an OBSBOT Tiny 2 or Tail 2 camera. Once it is set up, you can tell your AI things like "point the camera at me" or "zoom in on the whiteboard" and it will actually do it. It is handy for anyone who uses an OBSBOT camera for video calls, streaming or recording and wants to control it by typing instead of clicking.

What this MCP server does

You type a request to your AI, like "pan the camera left" or "take a snapshot". Your AI sends that request to this helper program running on your computer. The helper talks to your OBSBOT camera over its normal USB cable (or over your network for the Tail 2 model). The camera moves, zooms, focuses or takes a picture, and the result comes back to your AI, which tells you what happened.

Click to zoom

What you can do with it

• Move the camera left, right, up or down to point at something
• Zoom in or out, and frame a specific area of the picture
• Turn on AI subject tracking so the camera follows you
• Take a snapshot of what the camera sees
• Start and stop recording
• Save and recall camera positions as presets
• Adjust focus, exposure and white balance

Try asking your AI

• “Point the camera at me and zoom in a bit”
• “Take a snapshot and tell me what you see”
• “Recenter the camera and turn on subject tracking”
• “Start recording and save the file”

What it gives back to you

You get back short answers in the chat, like "camera moved to yaw 30, pitch 0" or "snapshot saved". Snapshots come back as images you can look at right in the conversation. Status checks give you a small list of numbers, such as zoom level, focus mode and whether the camera is awake. If something could not be done, you get a plain explanation instead of a silent failure.
