What is Epiphan MCP?

The Epiphan MCP is a server built on the Model Context Protocol, the open standard AI assistants use to reach outside tools. It gives Claude and ChatGPT secure, read-only access to the Pearl devices paired to your Epiphan Edge account. Your AI assistant does the thinking. Epiphan makes sure the answers it pulls from your fleet are accurate and stay inside your security boundaries. Write access, so the assistant can act on what it finds, arrives in Fall 2026 on paid Epiphan Edge tiers.

What can I ask?

The Epiphan MCP is read-only today, so everything on this page is about visibility: what your devices are doing right now. For every device on your team, the assistant can read:

  • Device info
  • System, storage, and recorder status
  • Channel settings and sources
  • Live channel images and audio levels
  • Scheduled CMS events

Access is read-only, granted through OAuth with your own Epiphan Edge login, and scoped to your Edge account.

The Epiphan MCP Server only grants access to Epiphan Edge, and nothing else on your network.
