Content MCP Server

One self-hosted engine. HomeTube for YouTube, Content Studio for everything else - plus a browser extension, an MCP server, a CLI, a typed SDK, and the REST API underneath them all. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

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

01 · Install Content

before you install - you'll need

CONTENT_API_URL

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add latentnoise-content -- uvx content-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "latentnoise-content": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "content-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-08-08 - young repo, little track record yet

license AGPL-3.0 - declared in the repository

pypi package content-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.LatentNoise is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

What is Content?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-25 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Content?

Does Content run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
