Reolink MCP

An open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Reolink cameras: lets Claude - or any MCP client - see and control Reolink cameras on the local network. Snapshots, device state, AI detection states, PTZ presets, and deterrence controls (spotlight, siren, IR/white LED). Local network only, no cloud.

People connecting security tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Reolink MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add ed-dryha-reolink-mcp -- uvx reolink-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ed-dryha-reolink-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "reolink-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.
