Bitmovin Observability MCP Server

The Bitmovin Observability MCP Server enables MCP-compatible AI tools such as Claude to access your data. This provides natural-language exploration of video playback metrics, license usage, and viewer experience insights — all through simple questions.

🧭 What It Does

The MCP server connects your Bitmovin account to your AI assistant.
Once configured, you can ask the assistant questions like:

“What was the average video startup time yesterday for Germany?”
“Based on data from the last week, what do I need to improve this week?”
“Show me a summary of impression abc123.”
“Which of our analytics licenses are most used in production?”
“Compare average bitrate by country over the last 7 days.”

Behind the scenes, these questions are translated into precise API calls (such as query, queryGroupBy, and analyzeImpression), returning structured analytics data that the assistant can interpret or visualize for you.
