Details
From the project READMERevel Digital MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides AI assistants with access to the Revel Digital REST API for digital signage management.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI assistants to securely connect to external data sources and tools. MCP allows AI assistants to access real-time data and perform actions through standardized interfaces.
How it Works with Revel Digital
This MCP server exposes the Revel Digital REST API as tools that AI assistants can use to manage your digital signage infrastructure. Through natural language commands, you can:
- Manage devices, content, and playlists
- Monitor system status and performance
- Configure schedules and automation
- Access analytics and reporting data
This enables conversational control of your digital signage network, making complex management tasks as simple as describing what you want to accomplish.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
